At 18, Mirren was accepted into the National Youth Theatre, where her career began to flourish. At 20, she played Cleopatra in the theatre’s production of “Antony and Cleopatra” at the Old Vic, a role that she credits with launching her career. Her performances with the National Youth Theatre led to her signing with agent Al Parker and joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 1960s. Over the years, Mirren’s stage career blossomed, with standout roles in productions like “Teeth ‘n’ Smiles,” “The Bed Before Yesterday,” and “The Duchess of Malfi.”
