40 British Actors and Actresses From Time Past and What They’re up to These Days

Judi Dench (Born in 1934) – Shakespeare in Love

Like many before her, Judi Dench started her acting career on Broadway. And the appeal she had on stage quickly translated into a consistent rise to Hollywood fame. One of her early roles was playing “Hilda Lesseways” in the eponymous TV series. From there, she landed other roles that won her two BAFTA Awards in 1966 and 1968.

Dench’s repertoire would be incomplete without mentioning her role in the “James Bond” movie franchise. And she frequently voices “M” in video game adaptations of her “M” persona. In 2022, she reminded us of why we love her so much with her performance in the drama “Allelujah.”
