London's Madame Tussauds wax museum has put up a display of
the figures to commemorate the actress' 70th birthday.
Mirren is portrayed in two of her award-winning roles, as
detective Jane Tennison in the television series "Prime Suspect"
and as Britain's Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen" sitting at
her desk.
The third figure is of Mirren on the red carpet, wearing a black
dress she donated. The actress had unveiled that figure in 2010
but said she had never seen the character models before.
"It's like having three sisters," Mirren, who recently won her
first Tony award for her role as Queen Elizabeth in "The
Audience", said as she visited the figures on Thursday night.
"I've got one sister who I absolutely adore, so this is like
having three more."
In New York, Madame Tussauds unveiled its latest celebrity
addition - Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson.
The museum presented a red carpet version of the "Lost in
Translation" actress, dressed in a black evening gown, smiling
and looking over her shoulder on Times Square.
