 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Carter, Helena Botham
The admissions committee felt that she would leave before graduating to pursue a career in acting.. Helena Bonham Carter decided to focus on acting full-time shortly after she was denied admission to Cambridge. Matt Damon dropped out of Harvard 12 credits short of graduation so I suppose there is some credence to admission committees denying admission to someone who is likely not going to graduate. However, it does seem a little unfair.
Kenneth Branagh. In addition to starring as the troubled scientist, Branagh directed the film. Helena played the role of Elizabeth Frankenstein, Victor's fiancée. Robert De Niro played the role of the monster in this adaptation.
The Wings of the Dove. Helena was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role of Kate Croy in the 1997 film "The Wings of the Dove". In the film Kate is faced with difficult choices regarding love and friendship.

E. M. Forster. Helena was only 20 years old when she starred alongside Maggie Smith in the 1986 movie "A Room with a View". Her portrayal of E. M.

Caroline Abbot was Helena's character in "Where Angels Fear to Tread" and Helen Schlegel was her character in "Howard's End".
Lady Jane Grey. Helena starred as Lady Jane Grey in the British film "Lady Jane". Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for only nine days (10 July - 19 July 1553). She was executed for treason after an attempt was made to reinstate her as queen of England.

King Arthur. Helena portrayed the evil sorceress in the movie "Merlin". This adaptation of Arthurian legend focused more on Merlin and Morgan le Fay than many previous movies on the subject. Morgan le Fay, a half-sister to King Arthur, eventually reconciled her differences with him but remained an enemy of his love Guinevere.
Marla Singer. Helena Bonham Carter's portrayal of the free-spirited support group impostor Marla Singer displayed the actress' ability to play a different type of character. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton starred alongside Helena in the film. I would tell you more, but the first rule about "Fight Club" is that we do not talk about "Fight Club".
