British Actress Helen Mirren On Cocaine And Date Rape Experience


Academy Award winning actress Helen Mirren, 63, was quoted by GQ mgazine as saying she loved cocaine and used marijuana when she was younger.

"I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties. It ended for me when [Nazi war criminal] Klaus Barbie was caught in the early '80's in South America...living off the proceeds of being a cocaine baron. I saw how my little sniff at a party had an absolute direct route to this...horrible man."

Mirren was also quoted in the interview about her date rape experiences : "I was [date-raped], a couple of times. Not with excessive violence, but rather being locked in a room and made to have sex against my will." Mirren said a woman had the right to say "no" at the last second and that, if the man ignored her, it was rape.
