Helen Mirren Gets Her Own Barbie Doll

Mattel, the maker of Barbie dolls, is marking International Women's Day with the unveiling of new additions to their lineup. Among these dolls is one modeled after the esteemed Academy Award winner, Helen Mirren.

Expressing her delight, Mirren exclaimed, "I am absolutely blown away by my Barbie. To be chosen by Barbie as a Role Model is a huge compliment, and something I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams happening to me at this stage in my life."

"It’s a very special thing, and something I can add to my list of my favourite achievements; becoming a Dame of the British Empire, having an Oscar, having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – and having my own Barbie!"

The doll captures Mirren's iconic appearance at Cannes, dressed in a blue gown by Del Core—a look the actress has openly admitted as one of her favorite red carpet looks.
