Helen Mirren Learns to Drive for her Role in 1923

March 7, 2023 by ashbrooks
Helen Mirren

Actress Helen Mirren told AARP Magazine, “I’ve been on the back of a horse many times in my life, but when I signed on to 1923, I told them, I don’t ride now.” She learned buggy driving from Diane Branagan. Ms. Branagan says of the actress, “She’s a sponge, a total sponge and just a delight. She really pays attention to what you say and then applies it very much the way you say it. Adding, “When you’ve driving a hiorse, you have to be ahead in thinking about what it is you want them to do. She is really good at being able to know 50 feet out what she wants to do and have the horse do that. What helps is that she has so much feel. She just gets it.”
