Dame Helen Mirren stole a pillow adorned with her face from an awards party.
The Oscar-winning actress loved the pillows featuring Andy Warhol-style images of her as Queen Elizabeth so much she took one home from the Miramax pre-Oscar party on Thursday (22.02.07).
Helen told USA Today newspaper: "I love them! They had the same pillows at the party at BAFTA in London, and I was blown away. I took one of mine."
Helen revealed she was also impressed with pillows featuring other Oscar-nominated actresses.
She admitted: "They also had a wonderful pillow of Penelope Cruz's face, and I have to say I took one of those home too!"
Helen, who won Best Actress for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in drama 'The Queen', saluted the British monarch in her acceptance speech.
She said: "I thank her because if it wasn't for her I most certainly would not be here. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Queen."
