I see that today is her 75th birthday.

Literotica does have a few stories about her, but I still think it has potential to feature her as a celebrity story that would be more than just "plug in the hot young actress of the moment into generic fantasies", while appreciating the attractions posed by older women...
 
Whilst I'm not at all into 'celeb' porn - frankly it strikes me as weird - Dame Helen has always struck me as the absolute archetype for the desirable older lady. I know I'm not alone in this.

I've written a number of grandmother incest short snapshots, including one based on the idea I put up here a month ago. It's always been her type, if not her, which has been at the back of my mind as far as the female lead is concerned - on the ball, vivacious and... open to new ideas, shall we say?

A lovely lady.
 
Not weird

I'm not one to say 'weird' because I have my own stuff that gets me off.

I never, though, understood the specifics of the Celebrity things with written erotica. You can substitute any person in there and just change names and the set-up seems to be same. I won't get it so no one needs to defend it.

Saying that, Helen Mirren has continued to be several decades worth of sexiness. And I can appreciate an older beautiful woman as much as I can a young one. I wonder if anyone will come up with something that'll be *mildly* realistic and have some success.
 
Certainly a subject worthy of exploration! From Age of Consent and Caligula through to Catherine the Great and many great, and not so great, rolls in between, I've always found her quite alluring.

But what might be the hook to creating a story worthy of her? An obsessed fan? a behind the screens worker who is with her on a number of productions? Someone from her early films like Age of Consent who now revisits her career with her? Or perhaps a reversal of rolls from Age of Consent, where now she is feeling tired, uninspired and a young man or woman (or couple) happens into her life and together they explore her creative force re-energizing her?
 
When she made RED a number of years ago, she said that she rather enjoyed being an "action star" for a change, and liked the challenge of something new. In a story, maybe she decides to challenge herself again with a genre she has never done. What could it be? Aha! Porn!!
 
Just wondering whether there are any up and coming younger female stars who look set to take over the mantle as the sexy older woman supreme.

Personally speaking, nobody springs to mind.

Any suggestions?
 
Are you asking to predict which current YOUNGER stars will evolve into potent OLDER stars decades from now? That's a tough assignment.

I wrote a story one time about a celebrity that had been successful, but had semi-moved on. The twist in the plot was, it was her bodyguard's birthday and it was expected that for protecting her life, on their birthday, they got a thank-you-blowjob.

BUT she could not complete it. The actress had a new love interest, and she could just not finish the birthday blowjob that she started.

The story ended when a deranged fan tried to kill her, and the bodyguard took the knife wounds fatally for her instead. At this, she forever felt guilty...

(Not my best erotica story, but a unique celebrity plot twist anyway that was at least plausible).

I think the idea was younger (i.e. than Helen Mirren) in the 40/50s and upwards sense. I might suggest Nicole Kidman (currently 53) Demi Moore (58) Catherine Jones or Liz Hurley but actually none of these seems to have that delightful coquettish aspect to them. Not to me anyway.

There are plenty of foreign (language) actresses I could name but these wouldn't mean anything to the dumbed-down, anglosphere-monoculture audience.

She is both excellent and hot in The Born Liar.

In the story Desperate Measures: The Driver, Helen Mirren was the inspiration for Mrs. Garrity. I kept a picture of her on my screen while writing the story.

Wasn't Caligula considered porn and thus banned for a long time?

though I could see her wanting to push her creative juices, if you will, and see how many heads she could turn by doing something quite explicit at 75. Not unlike Charlotte Rampling (who is just a year younger than Dame Helen) in Swimming Pool (though that was some years ago now).

Kidman, Moore, Jones, Hurley, and certainly a number of others are quite beautiful older women, but none, in my estimation have the grace and presence as Dame Helen.

Monica Belucci would be my vote, perhaps Isabelle Huppert. But if you are thinking younger actresses who have the potential, maybe Keira Knightly or Thandie Newton.

No, I was suggesting that there are too many Story Ideas posts asking for generic ideas about generic starlets, but suggesting that Helen Mirren's maturity was sufficient defining feature that stories about need not be generic.
 
In an upcoming story, I have a character based on her (basically the dominant hostess of an "eyes Wide shut" type party).

Sounds ambitious.

you are likely wise not to cast her directly, given Lit's limits on celeb portrayals in anything close to non-consent.

No, the character would be physically described and Helen Mirren's name would never be mentioned in the piece, so I don't think it'll be an issue.

"She was a dead ringer for Dame Helen Mirren, and many people commented upon their similarity, but she had a dominant streak that Mirren's legions of admirers could only fantacize about."

I can do a little better than that.
 
Sorry dude, what I meant to say was that I could describe her physical appearance without bringing up Mirren's name.
as opposed to bopping Lit's rule in the nose (yeah, a word play on "too on the nose") ?
 
Dana Delany's another great one.

By the way, anyone seen "Teaching Mrs. Tingle?"

Well, Dana Delaney didn't just turn 75, and could be the subject of her own thread. Though then I might grouse about generic celebrity sex stories.

Got any non-generic ideas about Helen Mirren?

Didn't John Travolta thing a thong about Thandie..?
