Hopeless as Elizabeth Taylor

Why is Helena Bonham Carter in seemingly everything?

I don't rate her as a great actress and she often ruins anything she is in.

The BBC in the UK recently made a TV film about Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Carter was totally miscast as Taylor. Looked nothing like her, and on top of that it was plain to see it was just HBC in yet another role.

Hi brockmeeks,

Isn't it weird how some people feel they can critique books when they haven't read them and films without watching them? The OP must think he has special psychic abilities. I thought Helena was marvelous as Elizabeth. She was both funny and touching at the same time. Terrific lady, terrific actress.
