Death hovers over The Thursday Murder Club, not only because its title organization’s business is homicide, but because its members are older men and women living in a retirement community where the Grim Reaper is a persistent presence.

Helen Mirren is sharing a shocking confession. The “Thursday Murder Club” star, 80, revealed that even after six decades in Hollywood, she still gets “absolutely terrified” when she starts on a new project.

Dame Helen Mirren has criticised the “insulting” younger people who patronise her because of her age. The British actor, who turned 80 in July, said she is left ”really annoyed” by people who call her “sweet” because she is older.
