Judi Dench

Dame Judith Olivia Dench (born 9 December 1934) is an English actress. Widely considered one of Britain's greatest actors, she is noted for her versatility, having appeared in films and television programmes encompassing several genres, as well as for her numerous roles on the stage. Dench has garnered various accolades throughout a career that spans seven decades, including an Academy Award, a Tony Award, two Golden Globe Awards, four British Academy Television Awards, six British Academy Film Awards, and seven Olivier Awards.

Dench made her professional debut in 1957 with the Old Vic Company. Over the following few years she performed in several of Shakespeare's plays, in such roles as Ophelia in ''Hamlet'', Juliet in ''Romeo and Juliet'' and Lady Macbeth in ''Macbeth''. Although most of Dench's work during this period was in theatre, she also branched out into film work and won a BAFTA Award as Most Promising Newcomer. In 1968, she drew excellent reviews for her leading role of Sally Bowles in the musical ''Cabaret''. Over the next two decades Dench established herself as one of the most significant British theatre performers, working for the National Theatre Company and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Dench received critical acclaim for her work on television during this period, in the ITV comedy series ''A Fine Romance'' (1981–1984) and the BBC1 romantic series ''As Time Goes By'' (1992–2005), in both of which she held starring roles. Her film appearances were infrequent and included supporting roles in major films, such as James Ivory's ''A Room with a View'' (1985), before she rose to international fame as M in ''GoldenEye'' (1995), a role she went on to play in eight ''James Bond'' films, until her final cameo appearance in ''Spectre'' (2015).

An eight-time Academy Award nominee, Dench won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Queen Elizabeth I in ''Shakespeare in Love'' (1998). Her other Oscar-nominated roles are for ''Mrs Brown'' (1997), ''Chocolat'' (2000), ''Iris'' (2001), ''Mrs Henderson Presents'' (2005), ''Notes on a Scandal'' (2006), ''Philomena'' (2013), and ''Belfast'' (2021). She is also the recipient of several honorary awards, including the BAFTA Fellowship Award, the Society of London Theatre Special Award, and the British Film Institute Fellowship Award.
