From Shakespearean actress to 'M' in the James Bond films, from long-running stcoms as 'As Time Goes By' to classic seials such as 'Cranford', Judi Dench's professional life has been non-stop acting,leading to numerous awards,including a Hollywood Oscar.In her private life,she was happily married to fellow actor Michael Williams until his death from cancer in 2001,while their daughter Finty continues the family tradition.
In 'And Furthermore' Judi Dench writes in depth of the highs and the lows of her career.There are far fewer of the latter than the former,but her truthfulness in acting also extends to her writing,so she has not omitted them either.Here are the reflections on her life and reminiscences on those who have mattered to her most - her family,fellow-actors,directors and writers.What shines through these pages is how her zest for acting s underpinned by her effervescing sense of humour.She has always said how she can't work unless she can laugh in rehearsal; and the more serious the part,from Lady Macbeth to Iris Murdoch,the more important that is.
'And Furthermore' reveals her personality in its many facets,and above all,her affection for those who have influenced her the most.A number of them have now made their final exits, but Judi Dench brings them all back to life on the page.
