Helena Bonham Carter is mostly known for playing creepy roles in some of Tim Burton’s later films. Tim really took a liking to her and gave her the lead roles in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Big Fish, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and Alice in Wonderland.
Perhaps her sickly thin and pale appearance is what Tim Burton has a fetish for. Owning up to her reputation for dark, edgy roles, she had been cast as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films. She was also famously known as the depressed Maria Singer in Fight Club.
