#HelenMirren thinks there should be more movies about real women who have operated as Secret Service agents, instead of adding a female #JamesBond to that particular cinematic universe. “The whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism,” she told The Standard in an interview published Thursday. “Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been,” she continued. “And very brave. If you hear about what women did in the French Resistance, they’re amazingly, unbelievably courageous. So I would tell real stories about extraordinary women who’ve worked in that world.” 🔗 link in bio for more on this story.
