MIRREN DRESSES IN CHARITY SHOPS
Actress DAME HELEN MIRREN buys her clothes from charity shops when she travels to movie locations around the world.
The 61-year-old, tipped to win an Oscar for her performance in THE QUEEN, can’t bring herself to spend lots of money on clothing.
She says, "If I travel anywhere particularly cold or hot, I don’t take any clothes with me.
"At the airport I’ll ask the taxi driver to take me to the nearest charity shop where I’ll buy what I need for the trip.
"When it’s time to come home, I take them back to the shop. That way I don’t have to haul luggage around with me and I get the pleasure of wearing a new outfit for only 50 pence! "Even though I’m now in a position to go shopping, I don’t indulge very often - it’s just not in my nature."
