Taormina Arte Awards for Cinematic Excellence

JUDI DENCH

Date: 14/06/2004

Awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1970 and made Dame of the British Empire in 1988, Dame Judi Dench one of England’s most esteemed actresses. Born Judith Olivia Dench, on December 9, 1934, in York, England, she attended Mount School, studied at the Central School of Speaking and Dramatic Art, and made her 1957 stage debut as Ophelia in the Old Vic’s Liverpool production of Hamlet. Three years after joining the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company in 1961, Dench appeared in her first film, The Third Secret. She has starred in a wide variety of film and theater roles, including Cabaret, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, A Room with a View (1985), Henry V (1989), Mrs Brown (1997) for which she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination, Shakespeare in Love (1998) for which she received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, and Goldeneye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and The World Is Not Enough (1999), all starring Pierce Brosnan. Not surprisingly, Dench is a multiple award-winner for her movie, TV and theater portrayals. In 1999, Dench won an Oscar for her brief but memorable portrayal of Queen Elizabeth Best Picture winner Shakespeare in Love. She brought her considerable gifts to the small screen in 2000, with her Golden Globe-winning performance in the cable television movie The Last of the Blonde Bombshells. Her supporting role in the acclaimed Chocolat (2000), directed by Lasse Hallström, earned Dench another Academy Award nomination. In late 2001, Dench turned in two more acclaimed performances: a supporting turn in Hallström’s The Shipping News and the title role in Iris, a sensitive biopic of the late philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. For the latter role, Dench earned characteristically rave reviews and collected yet another Golden Globe nomination, for Best Actress in a Drama.
