Mirren, Bates, Nyong'o share life lessons at Elle dinner

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Helen Mirren, Kathy Bates and Lupita Nyong'o shared life lessons with three generations of actresses at Elle magazine's 23rd annual Women in Hollywood awards.

The Oscar winners were recognized alongside Amy Adams, Felicity Jones, Anna Kendrick, Aja Naomi King and Kristen Stewart at a dinner ceremony Monday at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Presenters at the untelevised event included Ben Affleck, Sharon Stone, Dakota Fanning and Ron Howard.

Each of the honorees also appears on the cover of Elle's November issue, a place Bates said she never expected to find herself.

"Ace Hardware, maybe," she joked.
