Looks like the lady really is a tramp, at least when it comes to footwear. Helen Mirren, known in her younger days as "Shakespeare's slut" for her knack for combining classical theater with bare beaver, says that on the red carpet, she'll take clear plastic over Italian leather any day:
"I often buy my shoes on Hollywood Boulevard at these places that sell them to pole dancers- because they're really high," she said. "I'm only five feet four (inches), so I put those little babies on and I can strut my stuff beside Nicole Kidman anytime."
Dame Helen declined to say where she developed her love for stripper shoes- perhaps on the set of Hussy(1980)?
Helen Mirren joined other Hollywood immortals last week when she put her hand prints in the cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles- located, conveniently enough, on Hollywood Boulevard. No reports on whether she went shoe shopping afterwards.
