10 Actors Who Make Everything They're In Better
8. Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter may be best known for her work with ex-partner Tim Burton, but her skills stretch far beyond him. Just take a look at some of her other credits: Fight Club, The King's Speech, Suffragette, the Harry Potter series, The Wings of the Dove, Great Expectations, and Les Mis have all benefitted from her presence.
Like all great actors, Bonham Carter's influence spreads across many different genres, franchises, and literary adaptations. She's remembered for her work with Burton - notably Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride and Big Fish - but her eccentric, empowering performances can be found throughout her varied career.
Rarely one to take a lead role, Bonham Carter can be mysterious, evil, over-the-top hilarious and endearing - sometimes in the same film - and her work since the mid-80s proves she's got a knack for showing up her various co-stars. Here's hoping the next leg of her career sees her win some long-awaited award recognition.
