Publisher's Synopsis
To mark the seventieth birthday of one of Britain's best loved actors, Judi Dench, her biographer John Miller has invited fellow actors, writers, and others to illustrate her genius and her character from their own experience and perspective. The cast list includes David Hare, Ned Sherrin, Trevor Nunn, Bill Nighy, Ian Richardson, Barbara Leigh-Hunt and many more. Each contribution reveals a different aspect of her nature, including her liking for practical jokes, some of which have passed into theatrical legend. Taken together, they build a rounded portrait of a star at the height of her powers.
