(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Dame Helen Mirren wants to "laugh all the way to the grave".

The British actress is famed for her roles in dramas including The Queen and has won a host of awards.

Despite her success in the dramatic sphere, the 66-year-old star would love to star in more comedies.

"I would like to do more comedy as well - that would be a great way to go in my twilight years, laughing all the way to the grave," she said in an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine.

Helen has a lot of success in recent years.

The stunning star hopes to take some time out to indulge and relax at home with her husband Taylor Hackford.

"I haven't had a real break for as long as I can remember," she said.

"That's what I want to do to reset myself: I will garden. My husband and I are just finishing a house in Italy, and I hope to spend time there.
