Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter, daughter of Raymond Bonham Carter, a merchant banker, and Elena Bonham Carter, a psychotherapist, was born in Golders Green, London, England on May 26, 1966 and she's youngest of three children. She is the great-granddaughter of former Prime Minister Herbert H.

After experiencing family dramas that included her father's stroke which left him wheelchair bound and attending South Hampstead High School and Westminster School in London, Bonham Carter devoted herself to an acting career. That trajectory actually  began in 1979 when, at age 13, she entered a national poetry writing competition and used her second place winnings to place her photo in the casting directory "Spotlight." She soon had her first agent and her first acting job, in a commercial, at age 16. She then landed a role in the made for TV movie A Pattern of Roses (1983), which subsequently led to her casting in the Merchant Ivory films A Room with a View (1985) and Lady Jane (1986), which was her first leading role.

Often referred to as the "corset queen" or "English rose" because of her early work, Bonham Carter has continued to surprise audiences with magnificent performances in a variety of roles from her more traditional corset-clad character in The Wings of the Dove (1997) and Shakespearian damsels to the dark and neurotic anti-heroines of Fight Club (1999) and many of Tim Burton's films. Though consistently a versatile and engaging actress, Bonham Carter has never won a major American film award. However, she has received a number of critical awards and has been nominated for five Golden Globes, an Oscar, a SAG Award, and two Emmys.

Bonham Carter was nominated for a Golden Globe for the fifth time for her role in partner Tim Burton's film adaptation of the Steven Sondheim musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), for which Burton and co-star Johnny Depp were also nominated. Since their meeting while filming Planet of the Apes (2001), Bonham Carter and Burton have made four movies together. They live in adjoining residences in London and have two children: Billy Ray Burton and Nell Burton.

Some of the best known films in which she acts are:

- "Alicia en el pais de las maravillas" (2010) and acts of Iracunda, la Reina Roja.

- "Charlie y la fábrica de chocolates" (2005) and acts of  mother of Charlie.

- "Harry potter" and acts of Bellatrix Black Lestrange.

- "Sombras tenebrosas" and acts of dr. Julia Hoffman.



I admire she  because I find it's a great actress, I like as she acting,  and I also really like movies in which she acted, especially Harry Potter*--* <3
