But let’s be honest, Helen Mirren isn’t just a pretty face and …
Invictus did a modest haul this weekend, coming in third after Princess and the Frog and the increasingly aged The Blind Side. In modest recognition of such a modest return, we’re honoring our favorite gruff, weathered and high-waisted pant-wearer/director.
