The British actress Dame Helen Mirren has a career spanning six decades on stage on screen. She's spent a good part of the past 18 years becoming part of the local community in Salento, in the southernmost Italian region of Puglia. She's been speaking to Weekend's Julian Worricker about her campaign to save the local olive groves from a rare virus, her acting career and living 'a thrilling' life at age 80.
