Biography of Helena Bonham Carter

We all know Helen Bonham Carter as an actress who plays eccentric diverse women. It can be safely called an actress who can play virtually any role, because her acting talent is simply impossible to appreciate, she can play by somebody. Here it is in the role of the evil queen in "Alice in Wonderland", a good-natured and patient wife from "King says." Helena, for almost 50 years, was nominated for the most prestigious and most advertised world awards in cinema. So, let's find out the way of this woman's success to the top of the world cinema-primacy.





Helena is a representative of the typical English aristocracy, she is an aristocrat with deep roots. Her father worked as a banker, and her mother was engaged in her own psychotherapeutic clinic. In Britain, the surname Carter is very famous, because this name was worn by knights, and barons, and lords. Little Helena was brought up in an appropriate aristocratic spirit, studied in one of the oldest prestigious schools in England, where her classmates included the same aristocrats, that is, the future of England.

As for the childhood of the future famous actress, it was not particularly cloudless, because her mother suffered from mental disruptions. At five years her mother had a mental breakdown, after which she could not recover for about three years, and at the age of 13 Helen's father was deaf and to cure him, an operation was performed that provoked a stroke, after which he became disabled and could move only on a wheelchair.

To somehow help the family, Carter left school in the prestigious college of England and began to help the family. During the three-year period, the girl helped her parents. The love for theater and cinema at Helena was manifested after watching the movie "The French Lieutenant's Woman". She actively began to go to all sorts of theatrical circles and simultaneously participate in various castings.

In 1979 she won a competition of public readings of poems and on the first received fee she made herself a professional portfolio with which she continued to go on casting. Her first serious film career was the role in the movie "The Pattern of Roses," before that she starred in an episodic role in the series "Where Dreams Die." Then she continued shooting in the movie, and the first film in which Carter starred and was nominated for an Oscar, was the film "A Room with a View" (1985). Noteworthy is the fact that Carter's recent roles, which brought her worldwide popularity, are different from her first.

For her early creative activity she was awarded such titles as "The Queen of Corsets" and "The English Rose".

To announce her talent, Helena soon moved the United States and it was here that her new movie was born. Her role as Marla Singer in the film "Fight Club" was very memorable to the viewer and for a long time she was associated exclusively with this role.



Then followed a series of films such as: "Live from Baghdad" "Henry VIII", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Big Fish", "Sweeney Todd, Demon Barber of Fleet Street", "Harry Potter (5, 6 , 7), "Alice in Wonderland" and so on.

One of the most striking works of the woman was the role in the film "King says!".



It is worth noting that before moving to the US she was most of all cast in the roles of ladies from the last century, but this did not prevent her from obtaining the following titles: the title of commander of the Order of the British Empire, the London Film Critics and British Independent Film Award, BAFTA.



Regarding her personal life, from 1994 to 1999 she met with actor Kenneth Bran (they met in the acting samples of the film "Frankenstein" and immediately after the casting started to meet), but they did not lead to something serious. The producer and actress constantly quarreled and only with the advent of the last Burton in their life, their romance finally came to naught.

In 2001, the Englishwoman began her collaboration with director Tim Burton, soon they began to live together. The fatal meeting of two eccentric eccentricities happened during filming in the movie "Planet of the Apes", it is worth noting that Tim immediately pecked at this Gothic princess, but his then-passion tried in every possible way to prevent their novel, even sued him for alimony (Burton and his second love Lisa Mary lived in a civil marriage for about 10 years).



Lisa Mary greatly influenced the work of the famous producer, and for a long time was his muse, in 1992 they were engaged, but they did not get married and lived together until 2001 together. This woman is a striptease dancer, a model, an artist, and later re-qualified for an actress. Many biographers divide the work of Burton into two periods, this so-called period of Lisa Mary and the present period of Helena Bonham Carter.



After meeting with Berton Helen, as they say, settled down, she no longer wanted to look for something on the side, she wanted a family and found her in the face of the director.

In 2003, the couple was born the first-born Billy Raymond, who was baptized by Johnny Depp (best friend of the extravagant director).



After the birth of the first-born, Tim bought a mansion in London, which is located next to the house of Carter. Each of the spouses lives in their home, they respect each other's personal space. Billy Ray made his debut in the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", although his role was lying in a wheelchair and from then on he flashed in the films of a famous father from time to time.

In 2007, his sister was born and a couple of almost 8 months did not advertise her name, but in the end it was decided to call her Nell. After the birth of the children, Tim and Helen decided that they would no longer live in two countries and finally decide on a country for living, and since Burton dreamed of London, and Helen was from there, they decided to live permanently in this city.



To date, the couple live together in two different houses, united by one large corridor, and have not officially formalized their relationship, despite the fact that they have two common children.

And finally, the paparazzi recently caught Tim while he was kissing an unfamiliar blonde and many were saying that the most eccentric couple had broken up, but the director himself and his wife did not comment much on this photo (it was of poor quality, and even Carter said, that on that day Tim was in the circle of relatives and close acquaintances, so that there was no betrayal and could not be).

In early October of this year, Tim and Helena together came to a secular event, as always holding hands and announcing to the world that they were together, so that the fairy tale continues, and the city's crazy, as they call Carter, and her storyteller together.
