Helen Mirren: Theme-Park Promoter

Helen Mirren is one of Britain's most beloved actresses. But back in the '70s, before landing her first television gig, she tried to make ends meet while working as a promoter for an amusement park in Southend-on-Sea in Essex. Her job's exact nature included attracting customers for rides at The Kursaal amusement park. It's safe to say that Mirren has had a roller coaster of a career since, starring in movies such as "Gosford Park," "Eye in the Sky," and "The Good Liar" and bagging herself an Oscar for "The Queen."
