The two British stars had a tense exchange when the host questioned whether the future Oscar winner’s “physical attributes” may have “hindered” her career as an actor.Because serious actresses can’t have big bosoms, is that what you mean?” Dame Helen responded at the time, at which point the host suggested her body could be perceived as a “distraction” by some.
