Oscar winner Helen Mirren built her career on British television before Prime Suspect made her into a household name ? and earned her the first four of 10 Emmy nominations. On Tuesday night, she is receiving a career honor, the Crystal Nymph award, for her small-screen work at the Monte Carlo TV Festival. It will join an ever-growing collection of accolades that includes Emmys, Golden Globes and, of course, her Oscar. Mirren says, "There is a pressure mounting behind a dam, and I hope that that dam is finally bursting in terms of women directors and women-led dramas."
