Helen Mirren's Salty Language Makes It Past the Censors
It isn't easy ascending the stage at the Emmys in the gowns the stars wear. No one made that more clear than Dame Helen Mirren, who when she accepted the 2006 award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie for "Elizabeth I", made everyone's night by saying, "My great triumph is not falling ass over tits as I came up those stairs." Happily, her ribald quip made it past the censors.
