When Helena was five, her mother had a nervous breakdown - the woman was unable to cope with the death of her father. According to Bonham Carter, "the mother constantly had a dream that she was eating her father - she cuts him up and eats him." The therapist, whom the woman eventually approached, suddenly asked: "So what does it taste like?" The nightmares that tormented the mother for three years then stopped.
“I was determined to achieve self-sufficiency. I thought that I could become happy after all this, ”said Bonham Carter. At the age of 17, the girl managed to achieve her goal - she got the main role in the teenage series "Pattern of Roses", after which she was able to declare herself in the cinema and provide for her family. This is how the formation of the actress began, who later occupied a very special niche in the cinema. Raymond was chained to a wheelchair for 25 years until he died in 2004. The mother of the actress, at almost 90, is still a practicing psychotherapist. “Grief is not always negative,” says Helena. “Mom always felt that her nervous breakdown was a gift. She became a real example of how to get out of depression with dignity." You can see what the mothers of other Hollywood actresses look like in the photo selection from editors of Zoomboola.com.
