ENTERTAINMENT DIGEST

Queen Elizabeth II became an unofficial Bond Girl over the weekend after parachuting out of a helicopter with Daniel Craig during the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in London. It was all a bit of movie trickery, courtesy of director Danny Boyle. But Queen Elizabeth II has been portrayed a few times in major films:

v “The Queen” (2006): Helen Mirren was positively withering in a performance that earned her a well-deserved Academy Award for best actress.

v “The King’s Speech” (2010): The winner of four Oscars including best picture features Queen Elizabeth II as a little girl, when she was still a princess and went by the nickname Lilibet.

v “The Naked Gun — From the Files of Police Squad!” (1988): Queen Elizabeth II is the target of an assassination attempt, and the intrepid Lt. Frank Drebin (the late, great Leslie Nielsen) must foil this deadly plot at a baseball game.

v “Austin Powers in Goldmember” (2002): Jeannette Charles plays the queen in the third and final “Austin Powers” movie, the one in which Austin travels back to 1975 and meets up with old flame Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles).

v “National Lampoon’s European Vacation” (1985): Here’s Charles again in this slapsticky, inferior sequel to the 1983 hit “National Lampoon’s Vacation.”
