The 89-year-old actress said this in an interview with ITV, explaining why she actually retired from acting. Due to age-related macular degeneration, Dench even addresses strangers, thinking she has met them before:
“I can’t see anymore. I have, you know… well. Now I don’t recognize anyone anymore… I can’t watch TV, I can’t read.”
In 2023, the actress told The Graham Norton Show that her vision problems made it difficult for her to learn roles because she has a photographic memory. Despite the difficulties, Dench tries not to lose her sense of humor. She recalled how during the production of “The Winter’s Tale” with Kenneth Branagh, the actor noticed that she was giving the final speech while looking in a completely different direction. “I rely on people to tell me!” – added Dench.
As you know, Judi Dench’s career spans over six decades in theatre, film and television. She began on stage as a leading performer of Shakespeare’s repertoire, quickly becoming one of the most recognized theater actresses in Great Britain.
Dench’s role as M in “Bondian” brought world fame, where she played the head of MI6 in seven films. In the movies, the actress won an Oscar for the role of Queen Elizabeth I in “Shakespeare in Love” and received numerous nominations for her work in the films “Philomena”, “Iris”, “Mrs. Brown”, “Notes on a Scandal”. She has won numerous prestigious awards, including BAFTAs, Tonys and Golden Globes, and is considered one of the greatest British actresses of her generation.
