Judi Dench

Dame Judith Olivia Dench is well known for often playing dignified, strong willed women in positions of authority who are sometimes opposed or criticized by those under her.

In September 1957, she made her first professional stage appearance with the Old Vic Company, at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, as Ophelia in Hamlet, then her London debut in the same production at the Old Vic.

IIn 1959 Judi made her on-screen debut with a BBC made-for-television movie "Hilda Lessways". That was the beginning of her television career that spanned five decades of amazing performances on screen; and at 73, Judi Dench is still pursuing acting in major motion pictures.

She has won multiple awards for performances on the London stage, including a record six Laurence Olivier Awards. She also won the Tony Award for her 1999 Broadway performance in the role of Esme Allen in David Hare's Amy's View. Alongside her numerous award winning performances, she has also managed to take on the role of Director for a number of stage productions. Dench won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as Elizabeth I in the film Shakespeare in Love.

Dench was awarded the OBE in 1970, became a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1988, and a Companion of Honour in 2005.
