Judi Dench birthday

[moviequeen1]

Another favorite actress of mine,Dame Judi Dench is 83 today.
I started to like her when she co-starred with Geoffrey Palmer in long running BBC TV show' As Time Goes By" '92-'05
A couple favorite movies:
Shakespeare in Love '98
The Best Exoctic Marigold Hotel'12.What a terrific ensemble of veteran British actors,Maggie Smith,Tom Wilkinson,Bill Nighy,Penelope Wilton,Ronald Pickup,Celia Imrie. The sequel wasn't as good
She won Best Supp Actress Oscar for her brief role for Shakespeare Sue

I love Judi..... she's not only a brilliant actress, but a really down to earth person as well, no showbiz stars in her eyes at all....

I still watch repeats of As time Goes by and watched an episode yesterday where Judi and Lionel were debating whether he shoud turn the spare bedroom into an office for him, ...then sandy moves back in... and he doesn't get his office .....in fact just last week I was watching the very ancient series she made with her late husband Mike Williams..'' a Fine romance''... perhaps not the best show ever, but it was cute and brought back lots of memories...
