Mirren found her signature role in 1990 when she was cast as Detective Inspector Jane Tennison in the superb "Prime Suspect."

Mirren earned three consecutive BAFTA Awards (1991-93) and four (... far) Emmy nominations for the part, including a 1996 win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Special.
