 The pair married in 1997 and live in LA |
Things didn't get off to the best of starts when Helen Mirren met her future husband, film producer Taylor Hackford while auditioning for his 1985 film White Nights. He described her as "radiating cold disdain" after he arrived 25 minutes late. "I tried to make small talk and she said, 'Are we going to read?'. She was smoking, man! Then she asked if there was anything else. And boom, she was out of there."
Despite that inauspicious start, the pair began dating, and lived together for ten years before marrying in Scotland on New Year's Eve 1997. Taylor is loyal and true, Helen has said, and a man "in the proper sense". The couple are based in West Hollywood and also have properties in New Orleans, London and the South of France.
