Who did Helen Mirren live with in the early 1980s?

Liam John Neeson (born 7 June 1952) is an actor from Northern Ireland. In 1976, he joined the Lyric Players' Theatre in Belfast for two years. He then acted in the Arthurian film, 'Excalibur' (1981). Neeson rose to prominence when he starred in the title role in Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-winning film, 'Schindler's List' (1993).

Neeson lived with actress Helen Mirren during the early 1980s. They had met while working on 'Excalibur' (1981). Interviewed by James Lipton for 'Inside the Actors Studio', Neeson said Mirren was instrumental in his getting an agent.

He has been nominated for a number of awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actor, a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and three Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. Empire magazine ranked Neeson among both the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History" and "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time".

Helen Mirren comes from Russian nobility on her fathers side (his parents were exiled). Her mother was English. Helen's surname at birth was Mironoff. The family surname was later anglicised to Mirren. We all know she has had a fantastic award winning, career which is a bit long to cover here but she's won every acting award in both the US and UK.
