I was reading this interview with Helen Mirren in The Guardian yesterday where she discusses this sexist interview she did with Michael Parkinson. She certainly held her own and good to see he evolved as an interviewer.
Then I found this really crazy piece of footage from very early in her career. Enjoy.

She’s fascinating. I’ve only seen her more recent movies, so I had never seen what she looked like younger. It’s funny how hard it was for people to come to terms with a woman being so intelligent AND attractive.
She is really fascinating. It is funny watching him like that, he could never get away with interviewing a woman like that now.
I think I will be watching that one again and again.
that second one is hilarious.
