After losing his rather cooking-challenged mother, his father hires a house keeper, Mrs. Potter, (Helena Bonham Carter), and she quickly takes her place in the home — and his father’s heart.

This isn’t your first time working with Helena Bonham Carter. In fact, she tends to play your mom quite a lot! What was it like working with her again?

It was brilliant! She’s one of the people who I look to as a mother-figure on set. She made sure everything was okay for me, so I always enjoy getting to work with her. This time, it was quite fun to be her enemy as well [laughs]. When you have such a great relationship with someone, it’s quite sun to go on to set and pretend that’s not the case. It was all good fun, and she’s such a fantastic actress, that it made everything a lot easier.

The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening for a group of guests that included the writer’s great-great-grandson, Mark Dickens.

The monarch greeted actors including “Johnny English” star Rowan Atkinson and “X-Files” actress Gillian Anderson.

Anderson recently played Miss Havisham in a BBC adaptation of “Great Expectations.”

Earlier, the royal couple attended a performance that featured scenes and best-known characters from Dickens’ work.

As for Madame T’s husband and partner in crime, Thénardier, who moves from innkeeper to bandit over the expanse of the Victor Hugo tale, Mackintosh was keeping mum on Feb. 8. Filming under director Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech”) begins in London in March.

“You can print the most reliable rumor,” Mackintosh said with a laugh, skirting an official announcement of the rumored-in-negotiations Sacha Baron Cohen (“Borat”). “I don’t think they’ve been announced yet, so I’m being slightly cagey, but I know who they are! They’re a wonderful couple. I just can’t tell you if everything is signed! Actually, I can tell you that certainly Madame Thénardier is Helena Bonham Carter. I can tell you that. Which isn’t shabby. We have the most amazing cast, now we have to make a bloody good film. I have every hope we will.”

A two-time Oscar nominee, Helena Bonham Carter was Academy Award-nominated for her work in “The King’s Speech” (Supporting Role Oscar nominee) and “The Wings of the Dove” (Leading Role Oscar nominee), and appeared in the films “Fight Club,” “Howards End,” “A Room With a View,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Big Fish,” “Hamlet” and many others.

However, her role in The King’s Speech caught her fans by surprise, one in particular—her Queen. So much so, in fact, that it is winning Helena one of Britain’s highest honors.

Bonham Carter was every inch a queen herself in the movie that took Oscar gold last year. Although Helena didn’t capture an Academy Award for her portrayal, clearly Queen Elizabeth was still impressed. Helena’s name was one of only a handful posted on a very important list for the Commander of the Order of the British Empire, or CBE for short.

Other recipients for the first half of 2012 include Australian performer Ronnie Corbett, Oasis’s Liam Gallagher, writer Clive James, successful record producer Steve Lillywhite, and creator of the popular game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Paul Smith.

David Harewood, who played in the film Blood Diamond, received the Member of the Order of the British Empire, or MBE. TV executive Peter Bazalgette reached knighthood for brining Big Brother to the United Kingdom.

The coveted honors list is only posted twice a year by her majesty, Queen Elizabeth of England. It’s purpose is to recognize excellence and service to Britain and its people. Clearly, Helena Bonham Carter qualifies!
