Helena Bonham Carter, who has portrayed the role of Elizabeth Taylor in the new BBC film 'Burton and Taylor', took the help of an astrologist to research for the particular role by looking into the late actress' past.
The 'Harry Potter' star told the Mirror that a lot of people think it is really stupid but she did astrology as part of her research.
The Hollywood star said that she has an astrologer friend who is very perceptive and the first thing she said to her when she looked at the chart was that this woman has this extraordinary sense of humour.
Carter insisted that her pal also said that the woman was fun, loved life and ate everything.
Carter added to the publication that Taylor was really funny, clever and wise and had an amazing strength of character.
