Stars including Helena Bonham Carter, Thandie Newton and Ronnie Wood have donated unique personal artwork to an auction in aid of Britain’s leading children’s hospital.

More than a dozen celebrities, also including former Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell, British singer Cheryl Cole and The Beatles producer Sir George Martin, have crafted their own image of a hare to be sold off to raise cash for Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.

Wood has painted a psychedelic rabbit, Cole has crafted a glittery collage, Bonham Carter went for a simple brown painting with a button for the animal’s eye, and Halliwell included a cartoon heart with the message, “Some bunny loves you”.

Three of Cole’s Girls Aloud bandmates – Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding, and Kimberley Walsh – have also contributed artwork, along with singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, fashion designer Stella MCCartney, and chef Jamie Oliver.

The signed images will be exhibited in London until 8 May (11) and then auctioned off at an event at the city’s The Dorchester hotel on 26 May (11). All proceeds will go towards building two new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Actress Helena Bonham Carter has been voted the number one choice to play the first female Doctor Who by fans.

The King’s Speech actress came at the top of a new poll carried out by science-fiction magazine SFX to see who fans would like to see take on the role.

Episodes and Friday Night Dinner star Tamsin Greig came in second place in the poll, which was voted for by 2,000 readers on the magazine’s website.

SFX’s online editor Dave Golder said: ‘The Doctor has always been an eccentric and actresses don’t come much more eccentric than Helena.

‘Of all the Doctors so far she is probably most like a female Tom Baker, though we can see little bits of Troughton, Tennant and Smith in there too.’

Back in 1987, Helena guest-starred in two episodes of “Miami Vice”, playing Dr. Theresa Lyons, showing audiences early on that she was more than just a girl in a corset. Screen captures from her episodes have been added to the gallery. Enjoy!

I have just added 789 screen captures of Helena as Elizabeth from the 1994 film Frankenstein. Helena looks absolutely beautiful in this film! Towards the end, there are several caps that are rather graphic/unsuitable for work or young visitors, so please be careful when browsing. Enjoy!
