Mattel, the company that makes Barbie toys, has selected actress Dame Helen, 78, who has starred in films such as The Queen, Elizabeth I, Gosford Park, Calendar Girls, Prime Suspect, and the Barbie movie’s narrator, as a UK Barbie role model.
She declared that the news had “absolutely blown away” her.
“It’s a very special thing and something I can add to my list of my favourite achievements – becoming a Dame of the British Empire, having an Oscar, having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and having my own Barbie,” she stated.
The unique doll imitates the ensemble that Dame Helen wore to Cannes last year, including a fan, blue hair, and a gown by Del Core that is cornflower blue. Bulgari jewelry is also included.
