The Red Queen( Disney )
The first thing you notice about Helena Bonham Carter in the role of the Red Queen is the size of that noggin. "Oh, it's true, I can't even look at Helena anymore because now her real head just seems like a small orange -- like she's got some shrunken head,” Burton deadpans. But when he looks at the Red Queen, he thinks of two people -- one of his own relatives and the infamous real-estate baroness known as the "queen of mean." "She reminds me of pictures I've seen of Leona Helmsley. There's a tiny bit of elements of my mother in there too, for some strange reason. And Helena brings her own things to it too."
