Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter is perhaps best known for her dark, quirky and often scary characters, like Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter series, or Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. That’s not to say she can’t play other characters (after all, she did play the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella). She just seems to prefer those whimsically offbeat roles that we recognize her best for.
