  2. Helen Mirren: Dame at top of game

    Helen Mirren's Walk of Fame star ceremony on Hollywood today will be one of the rare instances in which she stoops to conquer. She's played numerous monarchs in her celebrated career, beginning with Cleopatra as a teenager in "Antony and Cleopatra" at Britain's National Youth Theater; Queen Charlotte in 1994's "The Madness of King George" (Oscar nominee); and Elizabeth II in Stephen Frears' 2006, "The Queen," which won her an Academy Award and virtually every other film honor out there. As if to keep it in the family, she was invested as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2003.

    THEATER REVIEW: "Hamlet" at Writers' Theatre in Glencoe ★★★ ... An audience member walking into "Hamlet" today comes with so many preconceptions, it's hard for him or her to separate previous conceits from the darn play.
    Peter Brook once said that, in essence, everything in regard to "Hamlet" has been done before. The Moody Dane has been young and impetuous, or middle-aged and worn out. Every Oedipal twist in the tale has been tweaked and skewered. Every concept —...
