Dame Helen Mirren has acknowledged there is a "very delicate balance" to playing people with a different heritage. The 78-year-old star plays former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in Guy Nattiv's biopic 'Golda' although her casting was met with a backlash because she is not Jewish and she "can see" why some are uncomfortable with her role. Speaking on the BBC's 'Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg', Helen said: "I think I can see, but sometimes I can't see, because, I can't see who in this room is Jewish. "We are all such an amazing mix and certainly I don't have an issue with Kirk Douglas playing...

Guy Nattiv has revealed that 'Golda' was initially meant to be a "massive war movie". The 50-year-old director has helmed the biopic that tells the story of the life of Israel's first and only female prime minister Golda Meir – played by Dame Helen Mirren – and explained how he altered the film to make it a character study of the politician during the Yom Kippur War. In an interview with Collider, Guy recalled: "When I joined the project, the script was completely different. It was a massive war movie with a lot of combat scenes and a little bit of 'Golda'. I felt that it was an opportunity fo...

Golda Meir's grandson chose Dame Helen Mirren to play her on screen. The 78-year-old actress stars as the late Israeli Prime Minister -who died in 1978 at the age of 80 - in the upcoming biopic 'Golda' but attracted controversy over the role because, unlike her character, she is not Jewish and now director Guy Nattiv has revealed she got the part because she reminded Guy Nattiv of his grandmother. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "When I came to the project, Helen was already cast as Golda. Gideon Meir, Golda’s grandson, said to the producers, 'I look at Helen, I see my grandmother.' That’s who...

Guy Nattiv thinks Dame Helen Mirren's "Jewish soul" meant she was perfect for the role of Golda Meir. The casting of Mirren as Israel's first and only female prime minister in 'Golda' sparked controversy as the star is not Jewish but the director was "sensitive" to the issue. Guy told Deadline's Crew Call podcast: "I'm Jewish, I'm Israeli, both of my grandparents are Holocaust survivors. There's no one more sensitive than me when somebody is portraying a Jew in the wrong way. "But, and it's a big but: Helen Mirren portrays Golda in a brilliant way. She has Golda's soul, she has a Jewish soul."...

Dame Helen Mirren found playing Golda Meir similar to portraying Queen Elizabeth I. The Oscar-winning actress stars as the former Israeli Prime Minister in 'Golda' and compared the politician's "maternal" instinct to that of the Tudor monarch, who she played in the 2005 TV miniseries 'Elizabeth I'. Helen, 77, told The Hollywood Reporter at the Berlin International Film Festival premiere of the biopic on Monday (20.02.23): "(Golda) was extraordinarily brave and her commitment to Israel was total. "It was a bit like playing Elizabeth the first of England, in the sense (of) her commitment to her ...
