Helen George, beloved for her role as Nurse Trixie Franklin in the hit BBC series Call the Midwife, recently stunned fans with a dazzling transformation for her role as Anna in a production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I at London's Dominion Theatre.
Known for her signature long blonde locks as Nurse Trixie, the 39 year old actress showcased a remarkable change with a copper-toned updo for her portrayal of Anna in the musical set in 1860s Bangkok.
Helen, who spoke about the challenges of singing in corsets and donning "enormous and heavy" dresses for the role, expressed enthusiasm for the intricate details of Anna's wardrobe, featuring Indian linen and ethnic twists. "The corset makes me work hard," she revealed in an interview with The Standard. "It’s actually really good for singing, it kind of really supports you in a way.The dresses are enormous and heavy.They’re wide." Reprising the role of Anna required Helen to train rigorously.
She added: “You really do need to train like an athlete, and you have to take care of yourself and you have to warm up. It’s a big show.” As well as her iconic role in Call the Midwife, Helen's diverse career includes a stint in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Woman in White in 2004 and notable singing performances, including the BBC’s VE Day 75th-anniversary commemoration.
