Tim Burton based the White Queen from Alice in Wonderland on Nigella Lawson. The director admits he couldn’t stop thinking about the celebrity chef when he was creating the character, played in the new movie by Anne Hathaway. He revealed: “There’s this very beautiful cooking show host in England named Nigella Lawson and I quietly had her as my image for this character.” The director – who previously said that the Red Queen was partly inspired by New York real estate mogul Leona Helmsley – used Nigella for ideas because her domestic goddess routine has an eerie edge to it at times. He explained to the Los Angeles Times: “She’s really beautiful and she does all this cooking, but then there’s this glint in her eye and when you see it you go, ‘Oh, whoa, she’s like really…nuts.’ I mean in a good way. Well, maybe. I don’t know.”
