Helen Mirren Walk Of Fame Star Ceremony! Meeting The Queen Herself! Autographs! Photos! Hollywood Royalty!
There is nothing like a Walk of Fame star ceremony to kick off the new year. None other than Dame Helen Mirren is getting her Star on Hollywood’s famed streets. Now, I’ve really enjoyed Ms. Mirren for ages and one of my favorite of her films is Gosford Park. I know, I know… Mike, don’t start that cast poster… Well… Hey… I’m a sucker for torture, LOL…
10:01 a.m. – I just arrived to the famed Hollywood blvd and there are some fans here but it’s not too crazy insane. They are still cleaning everything getting it ready for Helen.
10:29 a.m. – Billy Beer is super excited to be here… In fact his enthusiasm is catching… People around him start to spontaneiously talk about Batman toys. I can’t make that shit up!
10:51 a.m. – It looks like the workers are cleaning off all the drink special signs from the Pig and Whistle pub where we are. The Pig and Whistle is a Hollywood legendary spot, it’s one of the few places that has remained since the old days of Hollywood.
10:58 a.m. – Scotty is here and he has hit Hitchcock mini poster. I brought my The Queen mini poster and my Gosford Park mini poster as well. I know, I know… But even if I only get a few people on it, I’ll be happy.
11:09 a.m. – It’s honestly a nice morning… There are not that many guests filing in yet…
11:21 a.m. – There is Ms. Helen Mirren! She looks great! As soon as she arrived Helen goes right to the crowd and starts signing away. How nice… Of course I’m in the wrong spot but still… It’s super nice!
11:25 a.m. – Helen signs quite a bit, I don’t see people sign that much in the beginning of a ceremony but hey, you never know right?
11:31 a.m. – The ceremony starts….
11:32 a.m. – The first speaker is Jon Turteltaub who directed Helen Mirren in National Treasure 2. His speech is very cute.
11:36 a.m. – The second speaker is David Mamet, the famed playwright. His speech is a little more colorful but still fun. I think he talked about wanting to see Helen Mirren’s boobs but honestly I don’t know. LOL… Only in Hollywood!
11:41 a.m. – Helen is giving her speech now. She is simply adorable. I’ve included her speech below.
11:48 a.m. – The star is now unveiled! Sadly I can’t get any good photos in my spot because everyone is blocking me… Doh!
11:54 a.m. – Helen is doing a lot of television interviews now.
12:05 p.m. – Helen is finished with her interviews. CB is here and keeps calling out Helen… Helen… Helen… I’m like, it’s Ms. Mirren! Sigh..
12:06 p.m. -Helen comes right on over and starts signing.
She starts with my The Queen mini poster and then signs my Gosford Park mini poster as well.
I swear Helen Mirren is so so so nice.
I have a Variety magazine with an advertisement for Helen’s Star on the back.
After Helen finishes with our barricade she even signs that. Helen then asks me if she can use my pen, and I said something like, “The Queen can do whatever she wants!” lol… Oh, I’m a dork.
12:08 p.m. – Helen literally signs and takes photos with anyone and everyone who asks. She is beyond nice. Scotty got his poster signed, Billy got his stuff signed, it was a pretty magical day!
Talk about a great kick off to 2013! I’m pretty excited to have gone to this walk of fame event!

I bet she isn’t that obliging when she does theatre here in Feb. Normally when she does do theatre its impossible to get her as she never comes out to sign.
She’s a lovely lady…has beautiful handwriting too. I got my autograph from her through the mail, she’s great at signing via a venue.
I love this! (: I’m right by the guy who looks super excited. We’re also the ones who talked about the Batman toys. (: She was wonderful & amazing & gracious….my dreams sure came true that day!
VERY NICE! May I be the first to predict and say Helen should be on your 10 best signers list for 2013!
