Helena Bonham Carter began her acting career in 1979 when, at age 13, she entered a national poetry writing competition and used her second place winnings to place her photo in the casting directory "Spotlight." She soon had her first agent and her first acting job, a commercial, at age 16. Soon after she landed a role in the movie A Pattern of Roses (1983). The role lead to her being cast in A Room with a View (1985) and Lady Jane (1986), which was her first leading role.
Since that time Helena Bonham Carter's autographs have steadily gained in value as she continues to star in hit movies. Especially since she usually signs her full name which thrills collectors and fans alike. Unfortunately, the popularity of her autographs also means that there are more fakes and forgeries being sold and collectors should be careful to buy only from a trusted dealer.
Other notable credits include her appearance with Steve Martin in Novocaine, her memorable performance as Marla Singer in David Fincher's Fight Club opposite Brad Pitt. In Tim Burton's remake of Planet of the Apes, she played an ape, Ari. She followed up her success with Thaddeus O'Sullivan's The Heart of Me, and Big Fish, her second effort with Tim Burton in which she appeared as a witch.
Helena Bonham Carter was nominated for a Golden Globe for the fifth time for her role in partner Tim Burton's film adaptation of the Steven Sondheim musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Since their meeting while filming Planet of the Apes (2001), Helena Bonham Carter and Burton have made four movies together and live in adjoining residences in London, sharing a connecting hallway, and have two children: Billy Ray Burton, 4, and Nell Burton.
Other recent work includes Conversations with Other Women opposite Aaron Eckhart, as Mrs Bucket in Tim Burton's massive hit Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the dead heroine in Tim Burton's spooky Corpse Bride.
However, perhaps her most memorable role may be as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter movies; The Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, and The Deathly Hallows.
