Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter came to cinema in Merchant Ivory's A Room with a View, as the young and lively Lucy, whom the passions that George, played by Julian Sands, wakes in her leave frightened. The pair's films were directed by James Ivory and produced by Ismail Merchant, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala wrote most of their screenplays. In David Fincher's Fight Club she played Marla, and the review writes that her arrival is announced through glances pressed into the corners of the frame and through seductive poses, calling the character lithe, one more group therapy hug addict. Howards End, which Ivory directed as well, Zeffirelli's Hamlet and The Wings of the Dove stand beside these.
