Cousin of
Crispin Bonham-Carter.

rejection, Helena, ironically, decided to concentrate
fully on acting.

Personal quotes
"I hate this image of me as a prim Edwardian. I
want to shock everyone."
"I drink
a lot of Diet Coke and belch. I've been known to use
the "f" word."
"Everyone
seems to think I'm very ladylike. That I'm very cultured
and intelligent. I drink alot of Diet Coke and belch.
I've been known to use the F-word. I've told a few dirty
jokes. I arm-wrestle."
"On
corsets: I said, 'You have got to be kidding. I am an
ape and yet I am still expected to squeeze myself into
one of those damn things."
