Helena Bonham Carter was once known for art films, including Merchant-Ivory's A Room With a View and Howard's End, and Zeffirelli's spin on Hamlet. She has more recently taken less artsy roles, playing the self-help addict in Fight Club with Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, and as a chimp in Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes. Bonham Carter may look like an ethereal English Rose, but she cusses, smokes, arm-wrestles. She has suffered through depression, undergone psychotherapy, and underwent a self-described "mid-life crisis" at 35. She is now the happily unwed mother of a young son with Burton.
