Mirren's stage performance as Cleopatra in ''Antony and Cleopatra'' at the National Youth Theatre in 1965 provided her an opportunity to join the Royal Shakespeare Company, before making her West End stage debut in 1975. She subsequently achieved success in film and television, appearing in films such as ''The Madness of King George'' (1994), ''Gosford Park'' (2001), and ''The Last Station'' (2009), receiving Academy Award nominations for each of those performances. For her role on ''Prime Suspect'', which ran from 1991 to 2006, she won three consecutive British Academy Television Awards for Best Actress (1992, 1993 and 1994)—a record of consecutive wins shared with Dame Julie Walters—and two Primetime Emmy Awards. She played Queen Elizabeth I in the television series ''Elizabeth I'' (2005), and Queen Elizabeth II in the film ''The Queen'' (2006); she is the only actor to have portrayed both of the regnant Elizabeths on screen.
After her breakthrough role in ''The Long Good Friday'' (1980), Mirren appeared in other films including ''Cal'' (1984), for which she won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress, ''2010'' (1984), ''The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover'' (1989), ''Teaching Mrs. Tingle'' (1999), ''Calendar Girls'' (2003), ''The Tempest'' (2010), ''The Debt'' (2010), ''Hitchcock'' (2012), ''The Hundred-Foot Journey'' (2014), ''Woman in Gold'' (2015), ''Eye in the Sky'' (2015), ''Trumbo'' (2015), and ''The Leisure Seeker'' (2017). She has also appeared in several action films such as ''Red'' (2010) and its sequel ''Red 2'' (2013), as well as in the ''Fast & Furious'' film franchise ''The Fate of the Furious'' (2017), ''Hobbs & Shaw'' (2019), ''F9'' (2021), and ''Fast X'' (2023).
In the Queen's 2003 Birthday Honours, Mirren was appointed a Dame (DBE) for services to drama, with investiture taking place at Buckingham Palace. She has received numerous honours including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013, the BAFTA Fellowship for lifetime achievement in 2014, and Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2022.
