So as part of the Oscar campaign for Helen Mirren’s turn in The Queen, 60 Minutes profiled her last night, with Morley Safer reporting on her specialty in playing formidable women. Included in the text wrap-up of the piece, touching on Mirren’s stage roles and early film career, is a dig at “questionable movies that required nudity as much as they did talent,” by which I assume they mean Caligula, but could just have easily meant this year’s Shadowboxer.

Always a rakish interview, Mirren has some fun with Safer. “Yes, I think we should do this interview, both of us, in the nude,” she says. “You’d love it!” While heart palpitations were no doubt recorded in nursing homes across the country, elsewhere younger viewers lept from their couches in preemptive defense.
