	Mirren, Helen
		Helen Mirren is probably best known to American television audiences as Inspector Jane Tennison, the complicated and obsessive homicide and vice detective of Prime Suspect.
		Mirren has claimed that she likes Tennison because she is "unlikeable." The complexity of Mirren's performance resides in how she conveys this unlikeability while still making us sympathetic to Tennison's ideals and vulnerability.
		The tension LaPlante admires in Mirren's face also permeates the stiff posture Mirren adopts for the character, the quick pace of her walk, the intense drags she takes on a cigarette, the determination of her gum-chewing.
