Born 84 years ago today, 9th December 1934, Dame Judith Olivia Dench. In Britain, Dench has developed a reputation as one of the greatest actresses of the post-war period, primarily through her work in theatre, which has been her forté throughout her career. She has more than once been named number one in polls for Britain's best actor. My colourised picture from a black, and white promotional still shows Dench in the 1959 TV series "Hilda Lessways" (adapted from the Clayhanger family novels by Arnold Bennett), and according to "Lost U.K. TV Shows Search Engine", this series is believed to be lost. Dench was aged just 25, and this was her first television appearance.
Through her parents, Dench had regular contact with the theatre. Her father, a physician, was also the GP for the York theatre, and her mother was its wardrobe mistress. Actors often stayed in the Dench household. During these years, Judi Dench was involved on a non-professional basis in the first three productions of the modern revival of the York Mystery Plays in 1951, 1954 and 1957. In the third production she played the role of the Virgin Mary, performed on a fixed stage in the Museum Gardens. Though she initially trained as a set designer, she became interested in drama school as her brother Jeff attended the Central School of Speech and Drama. She applied and was accepted by the School, then based at the Royal Albert Hall, London, where she was a classmate of Vanessa Redgrave, graduating and being awarded four acting prizes, including the Gold Medal as Outstanding Student.
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.
She remained a member of the company for four seasons, 1957–1961
The 1966 BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles was made to Dench for her performance in Four in the Morning and this was followed in 1968 by a BAFTA Television Best Actress Award for her role in John Hopkins' 1966 BBC drama Talking to a Stranger.
Dench made her debut as a director in 1988 with the Renaissance Theatre Company's touring season, Renaissance Shakespeare on the Road, co-produced with the Birmingham Rep, and ending with a three-month repertory programme at the Phoenix Theatre in London. Dench's contribution was a staging of Much Ado About Nothing, set in the Napoleonic era, which starred Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson as Benedick and Beatrice.
She has acted with the National Theatre in London where she played an unforgettable Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra (1987). In September 1995, she played Desiree Armfeldt in a major revival of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music, for which she won an Olivier Award.
After the long period between James Bond films Licence to Kill (1989) and GoldenEye (1995), the producers brought in Dench to take over as the role of M, James Bond's boss. The character was reportedly modeled on Dame Stella Rimington, the real-life head of MI5 between 1992 and 1996; Dench became the first woman to portray M, succeeding Robert Brown.
In 1997, Dench appeared in her first starring film role as Queen Victoria in John Madden's teleplay Mrs Brown, which depicts Victoria's relationship with her personal servant and favourite John Brown, played by Billy Connolly
In 1999, Dench won the Tony Award for her 1999 Broadway performance in the role of Esme Allen in Sir David Hare's Amy's View.
In January 2001, Dench's husband Michael Williams died of lung cancer. Dench went to Nova Scotia, Canada, almost immediately after Williams's funeral to begin production on Lasse Hallström's drama film The Shipping News, a therapy she later credited as her rescue.
A major hit for Dench came with Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice, a 2005 adaptation of the novel by Jane Austen, starring Keira Knightley and Donald Sutherland.
In April 2006, Dench returned to the West End stage in Hay Fever alongside Peter Bowles and Belinda Lang.
Dench appeared opposite Cate Blanchett as a London teacher with a dedicated fondness for vulnerable women in Richard Eyre's 2006 drama film Notes on a Scandal, an adaption from the 2003 novel of the same name by Zoë Heller. A fan of Heller's book, Dench "was thrilled to be asked to ... play that woman, to try to find a humanity in that dreadful person".
Dench returned to the West End in mid-2009, playing Madame de Montreuil in Yukio Mishima's play Madame de Sade.
In 2011, Dench starred in Jane Eyre, My Week with Marilyn and J. Edgar
In 2013, Dench starred as the title character in the Stephen Frears-directed film, Philomena, a film inspired by true events of a woman looking for the son which the Catholic Church took from her a half-century before.
In 2016, Dench made Olivier Award history when she won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role in The Winter's Tale, breaking her own record with her eighth win as a performer
In July 2019 Judi presented a 2-part nature documentary series for ITV called Judi Dench's Wild Borneo Adventure in which she and her partner travelled across the island, looking at its remarkable wildlife and efforts by conservationists to preserve it for future generations.
Dench was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1970 Birthday Honours and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 1988 New Year Honours. She was appointed Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour (CH) in the 2005 Birthday Honours. In June 2011, she became a fellow of the British Film Institute (BFI).
This is my colourised version of a black, and white promotional still from "Hilda Lessways", broadcast in 1959

John Le Carré: authentic spy fiction that wrote the wrongs of post-war British intelligence
Britain’s high spy, MI6 chief Richard Moore, has paid tribute to John le Carré, tweeting that the novelist had “left his mark on #MI6 via his evocative and sensible novels”. Moore’s tweet, which conveyed the condolences of “all on the #RiverHouse” – the title le Carré gave the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) headquarters on the banks of the Thames, even blew le Carré’s cowl, referring to the author by his actual title, David Cornwell.
Moore’s phrases of consolation have been a far cry type the angle of his predecessor at MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, who final yr complained in regards to the “corrosive” nature of le Carré’s novels, that he mentioned have been “solely about betrayal”, a criticism additionally levelled at his work by former SIS officer Baroness Daphne Park.
Learn extra:
John le Carré, MI6 and the actual fact and fiction of British secret intelligence
Le Carré’s 25 novels have at all times include the added cachet of being written by somebody who as soon as labored for the intelligence providers. But as the author himself defined in 2013, The Spy Who Got here In From The Chilly, the 1963 novel that made him a family title, was solely thought of acceptable for publication by MI6 – for whom he was working on the time – as a result of that they had “concluded, rightly if reluctantly, that the e book was sheer fiction from begin to end, uninformed by private expertise, and that accordingly it constituted no breach of safety”.
The affiliation with the fact of intelligence was one which le Carré himself was eager to downplay. He expressed his want to shake off the affiliation in an interview with Melvyn Bragg in 1976:
If you happen to write a narrative about road women in London you aren’t instantly accused of working a brothel, however in the event you write a spy story, the extra credible, the extra genuine, the extra believable it’s, the much less credit score you get for an act of creativeness.
Imaginative it might have been, however le Carré’s work is definitely not devoid of realism – the shadow of Cambridge Spy Kim Philby will be seen in each the “mole” in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and within the profession of Magnus Pym, the protagonist of A Good Spy, which was partly primarily based on le Carré’s personal sad childhood. However credibility and authenticity don’t essentially equate to actuality – anybody on the lookout for true tales with the names modified can be disillusioned.
Regardless of being merchandise of his creativeness, the credibility and authenticity that permeated le Carré’s work served to teach most people about intelligence work at a time when little or no was mentioned formally in regards to the companies themselves. MI5 was not positioned on a statutory foundation – that’s to say, it didn’t formally exist – till 1989, adopted by MI6 5 years later.
However ten years earlier than that, when the BBC adaptation of his novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was first broadcast, an viewers of over eight million which tuned in every week (in accordance with his biographer, Adam Sisman) discovered all in regards to the hazard of “moles” – long-term sleeper brokers who burrow their means into the intelligence equipment of the “different facet”.
Alec Guinness as George Smiley, John Le Carré’s fictional spymaster.
BBC Pictures
It was a well timed training – in a pure coincidence of TV scheduling, inside weeks of the printed, the general public discovered of the existence of a real-life, high-level mole. Sir Anthony Blunt, a former surveyor of the Queen’s footage and wartime MI5 officer, was revealed to have been one of many Cambridge 5 spy ring who have been recruited earlier than the second world struggle and who spied for many years for the Soviet Union from the center of the British institution.
Honeytraps and scalphunters
Le Carré’s novels dramatically modified the best way the British public, ate up a food regimen of James Bond and Len Deighton, perceived the world of intelligence. In addition they offered welcome fodder for newspapers. A narrative about former MI6 chief John Scarlett’s post-intelligence profession printed within the i paper in November 2015 was given the headline: “The spy who got here right into a fortune”. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy can also be frequently evoked within the press: “Now it’s tinker, tailor, soldier, Booker decide”, wrote Richard Brookes within the Sunday Occasions when it was introduced that former director normal of MI5, Dame Stella Rimington, had been appointed to the judging panel for the literary award.
However in addition to influencing public perceptions, le Carré’s intelligence jargon – “honeytraps”, “lamplighters”, “scalphunters”, “moms”, “babysitters” and the like – had a corresponding affect on the spies themselves. As Sisman notes in his biography of le Carré, a few of his phrases have been “subsequently adopted by intelligence professionals”.
There’s lengthy been a robust connection between literary fiction and the world of espionage. Le Carré’s distinguished predecessors, together with the likes of Graham Greene, W. Somerset Maugham, Arthur Ransome and Ian Fleming had blazed that path earlier than. Nevertheless it was le Carré, primarily, who took Britain’s spies out of sharp fits, fancy automobiles and the ethical certainty of “my nation proper or unsuitable”. As an alternative he gave us books populated by individuals, like himself, who’re: “Born to mendacity, bred to it, skilled to it by an business that lies for a dwelling.” No surprise a few of the actual spies didn’t at all times love his work.
Christopher J. Murphy doesn’t work for, seek the advice of, personal shares in or obtain funding from any firm or group that may profit from this text, and has disclosed no related affiliations past their educational appointment.
