Biografia:
Dame Judith Olivia "Judi" Dench, CH, DBE, FRSA (nata il 9 dicembre 1934) è un'attrice cinematografica, teatrale e televisiva inglese. Dench ha fatto il suo debutto professionale nel 1957 con la Old Vic Company. Negli anni successivi ha recitato in diverse opere di William Shakespeare in ruoli come Ofelia in Amleto, Giulietta in Romeo e Giulietta e Lady Macbeth in Macbeth. È passata al cinema e ha vinto un BAFTA Award come esordiente più promettente; tuttavia, la maggior parte del suo lavoro durante questo periodo era in teatro. Non generalmente conosciuta come cantante, ha ottenuto ottime recensioni per il suo ruolo da protagonista nel musical Cabaret nel 1968. Durante i due decenni successivi, si è affermata come una delle più importanti interpreti teatrali britanniche, lavorando per la National Theatre Company e la Royal Shakespeare Company. In televisione, ha raggiunto il successo durante questo periodo, nella serie A Fine Romance dal 1981 al 1984 e nel 1992 ha iniziato un ruolo continuativo nella serie televisiva commedia romantica As Time Goes By. Le sue apparizioni cinematografiche erano rare fino a quando non è stata scelta per il ruolo di M in GoldenEye (1995), un ruolo che ha interpretato in ogni film di James Bond fino a Skyfall (2012). Ha ricevuto numerosi importanti premi cinematografici per il ruolo della regina Vittoria in Mrs. Brown (1997), e da allora è stata acclamata per il suo lavoro in film come Shakespeare in Love (1998), Chocolat (2000), Iris (2001), Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005) e Notes on a Scandal (2006), e la produzione televisiva The Last of the Blonde Bombshells (2001). Considerata dalla critica come una delle più grandi attrici del dopoguerra e spesso nominata come la principale attrice britannica nei sondaggi, Dench ha ricevuto molte nomination ai premi per la sua recitazione in teatro, cinema e televisione; i suoi premi includono dieci BAFTA, sette Laurence Olivier Awards, due Screen Actors Guild Awards, due Golden Globe, un Academy Award e un Tony Award. È stata sposata con l'attore Michael Williams dal 1971 fino alla sua morte nel 2001. Sono i genitori dell'attrice Finty Williams.
