Non-Fiction Biography
From her first theatrical roles as a teenager in York to her
scene-stealing performances as 'M' in the James Bond films,
Dame Judi Dench's professional life has consisted of
non-stop acting, leading to numerous accolades, including an
Academy Award for her performance as Queen Elizabeth I in
Shakespeare in Love. Behind the Scenes is a candid blend of
reminiscences and photos, many of them never-before-seen
from her personal collection. It's a uniquely personal take
on her life and brilliant career, showing her off-stage as
well as on. Looking back, she provides her millions of fans
with reflections and remembrances of those who have mattered
to her most - her family, fellow actors, directors and
writers - communicating them with the truth and insight that
is the hallmark of her acting. Behind the Scenes takes up where her New York Times
bestselling memoir and furthermore left off. Dame Judi
looks back on the last few years to talk about her role as
"M" in the Bond films, the joy of ensemble acting in The
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, the chance to tell the story of
the herioc woman at the center of Philomena, her joy in
appearing with other great actresses in the
MaterpieceTheatre Cranford and her return to the stage in
Peter and Alice. Tireless in her desire to perfect her
craft, she says "I simply want to go on acting. I suppose I
could always be wheeled on stage if necessary. The great
thing about acting is that it never ends."
