'''Stuart Smith''' (a.k.a. '''Stuart Steen''' a.k.a. '''Stuart Smita''') is a [[United Kingdom|British]]-[[Australia|australian]] actor born in [[Winchester]], who grew up in [[Sidney]].
'''Helen Hope Mirrlees''' ([[1887]]-[[1978]]) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] translator, poet and novelist. She is best known for [[1926]]'s ''[[Lud-in-the-Mist]]'', a novel generally regarded as one of the most influential (though very much obscure) works in [[fantasy]] literature.
After studying acting and playing a few parts in [[Australia]], he moved to [[Hong Kong]] and starred in several movies in the 80's, including "[[ninja]]" flicks by [[Godfrey Ho]]. He also worked extensively as a [[voice actor]], dubbing chinese movies into english.
She was a friend of [[Virginia Woolf]], who described her in her diaries as "a very self conscious, wilful, prickly and perverse young woman, rather conspicuously well dressed and pretty, with a view of her own about books and style, an aristocratic and conservative tendency in opinion and a corresponding taste for the beautiful and elaborate in literature." Her circle of celebrity acquaintances also included [[T. S. Eliot]], [[Gertrude Stein]], [[Bertrand Russell]] and [[Ottoline Morrell|Lady Ottoline Morrell]]. She lived for many years with [[Jane Harrison]].
He is particularly popular among bad movie fans due to his overacting that makes him twist his face in [[grimace]]s.
