Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It? by Judi DenchMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a fun listen and encouraged me to appreciate Dame Judi even more than I did before. It’s a set of interviews with her friend, Brendan O’Hea, about her life and career. Most of the book is narrated by Barbara Flynn as Judi, who sounds remarkably like Dench, even her chuckle. The final section is a conversation between O’Hea and Judi, who are obviously old pals.
Dench, better known in the UK for her stage work rather than films, comes across as a true professional with a good attitude and respect for others in the industry. Her practical jokes are legendary, and that goes back to her childhood. Of course, many famous names are mentioned, and there are some very interesting insights into acting. The final reading of the lovely poem about grief is a wonderful way to conclude.
