Descended from British nobility, Helena Bonham Carter was born in London May 26, 1966. With her porcelain complexion and doe eyes, she was ideally cast as the archetypal English heroine in a string of period films that brought her critical adulation and international fame.Bonham Carter first gained notoriety as the protagonist in A Room with a View (1985); on the heels of that success, she landed a steady stream of film work, including a turn opposite Mel Gibson in Hamlet (1990). In 1992, Bonham Carter continued in the costume-drama vein with Howards End, but her change-of-pace role in Mighty Aphrodite (1995) became a turning point in her shift toward playing contemporary characters.
The elfin actress received a Best Actress Oscar nod for her performance in The Wings of the Dove (1997). Her later big-screen efforts include Fight Club (1999) and the dark comedy Novocaine (2001).
