The actress recently opened up about how it’s her garden that’s helping her shed “ego and insecurity.”
She may have an Oscar, a Tony and five Emmys to her credit, but it’s her garden that keeps her down to earth.
Helen confessed that gardening made her a “better” actress and took away her “ego and insecurity” as nature is beyond your control.
Dame Helen, who splits her time between her homes in London and Lake Tahoe, US, said she finds getting her hands dirty has a “meditative effect” and believes it helps “cleanse her brain.” clean”.
“I think gardening will probably help me become a better actor,” she told DuJour magazine.
“It kind of clears your brain.” You can’t have an ego with a garden. The damn plant just won’t grow where you want it to.
“It’s good for an actor when the cobwebs, ego and insecurity go away for a while.”
In a stunning shoot for DuJour magazine, the star looked incredible as she flaunted her elegance in the dramatic outfits.

Earlier this month, the star also admitted that criticism of her decision to play the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was “legitimate” after Bradley Cooper faced similar backlash for his portrayal of Jewish composer Leonard Bernstein.
Helen will play the late Golda Meir, Israel’s only female prime minister, in director Guy Nattiv’s upcoming biopic.
She said that the role of the leader, while she has no off-screen ties to Judaism, has met with “completely justified” criticism from those who believe the role should have been given to a Jewish actress.
Her comments are followed by a mixed reaction to Gentile actor Cooper, who plays the legendary Bernstein with a large prosthetic nose in the upcoming biopic Maestro – a film he is also directing.
She told the Chron: “That was certainly a question I had before I took the role.” I said, “Look man I’m not Jewish and if you think about it and you’re looking for a different direction want to decide … I will absolutely understand that.”
The film follows Meir during the 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in October 1973 – five years before she died of lung cancer at the age of 80.
