Helen Mirren has confronted death

Los Angeles April 13 (IANS) Veteran actress Helen Mirren says she has accepted that death is a part of life.

"As much a part of life as anything else (death can t be ignored). We are all headed in that direction sorry to tell you! It s gonna happen. So one might as well confront it and what better time to confront it than the latter part of your life?" femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 72-year-old as saying.

"As you travel through life you do realise that you lose friends and colleagues and death becomes a part of your life and that happens at every age. It s not just what happens to older people " she added.

However the actress has not spent much time thinking about what happens to a person when they die.

"I have no concept of the afterlife. I m not into that sort of thing. No. Neither were my parents actually."
