Helen Mirren stunned her fellow leading ladies by announcing that none one of them was beautiful when they gathered recently to discuss the craft of acting.

“None of us are beauties," Mirren, 79, told the group — which also included Kathy Bates, Parker Posey, Niecy Nash-Betts, Keri Russell and Cristin Milioti — during The Hollywood Reporter ’s annual roundtable of dramatic female actors .

The conversation about appearances started when the panel discussed some of the bad advice they received during their careers. "I was told to have a nose job in my 20s," Mirren recalled.
