There are some things that sum up what it is to be quintessentially British, and Dame Judi Dench is one of them. Luckily for us, then, that the star – once described as “the best thing about Britain alongside fish and chips” – has no plans to retire anytime soon. Judi, 88, perhaps most famed for her role as M16 chief M in James Bond, says she wants to work “as much as I can”, despite the difficulties she’s having learning lines because of her degenerative eye condition which has left her barely able to see.
“I mean I can’t see on a film set anymore,” Judi tells us. “And I can’t see to read. So I can’t see much.
But you know you just deal with it. Get on. It’s difficult for me if I have any length of a part.
I haven’t yet found a way. Because I have so many friends who will teach me the script. But I have a photographic memory.” Judi was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 2012.
She was forced to give up driving a few years ago when her eyesight began to worsen. “It’s the most terrible shock to the system,” she said previously. “Ghastly.
It’s terrible to be so dependent on people.” In spite of her challenges, Judi has achieved what most actors can only dream of in a career spanning six decades. In addition to numerous BAFTAs, a Tony Award and an Oscar – awarded for her powerful portrayal of Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare In Love – Judi made theatre history in 2016 when she picked up a record-breaking eighth Olivier Award. But determination in the face of adversity runs in the family.
