A two-time Academy Award nominee for her performances as Kate Croy in ''The Wings of the Dove'' and as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in ''The King's Speech'', Bonham Carter's acting has been further recognised with seven Golden Globe nominations, an International Emmy Award for best actress, three Primetime Emmy Award nominations, a BAFTA Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. She was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2012 New Year honours list for services to drama, and received the honour from the Queen at Buckingham Palace on 22 February 2012. In January 2014, the British prime minister, David Cameron, announced that Bonham Carter had been appointed to Britain's new national Holocaust Commission. ==Early life== Bonham Carter was born in Islington, London. Her mother, Elena (née Propper de Callejón), is a psychotherapist who is of mostly Jewish background, and whose own parents were diplomat Eduardo Propper de Callejón and Baroness Hélène Fould-Springer.〔〔 Her father, Raymond Bonham Carter, who came from a prominent British political family, was a merchant banker and served as the alternative British director representing the Bank of England at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C., during the 1960s〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Yahoo! Movies )〕 (see also Ancestry). Her paternal grandmother was politician Violet, Lady Asquith, daughter of H. H. Asquith, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the first half of World War I. Bonham Carter is the youngest of three children, with two brothers, Edward and Thomas. She was educated at South Hampstead High School, and completed her A-levels at Westminster School. Bonham Carter was denied admission to King's College, Cambridge, not because of her academic performance, but because college officials were afraid that she would leave during the course to pursue her acting career. When Bonham Carter was five, her mother had a serious nervous breakdown, from which it took her three years to recover. Upon her recovery, her experience in therapy led her to become a psychotherapist herself – Bonham Carter now pays her to read her scripts and deliver her opinion of the characters' psychological motivations.〔Liam Lacey, "'English rose' blossoms into other roles", 18 January 1996, ''The Globe and Mail'', D1〕 Five years after her mother's recovery, her father was diagnosed with acoustic neuroma. He suffered complications during an operation to remove the tumour which led to a stroke that left him half-paralysed and using a wheelchair.〔Valerie Grove, "How Helena Grew Up In a Violet Shadow", ''The Times'', 10 May 1996〕 With her brothers at college, Bonham Carter was left to help her mother cope. She would later study her father's movements and mannerisms for her role in ''The Theory of Flight''. He died in January 2004. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helena Bonham Carter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
