2 Dame Judi Dench earns her living as an actress. Read what she says about herself and her life. An acting life

by Emma Owczarski, from London

I met Dame Judi Dench backstage at the Aldwych theatre where she is presently performing in The Cherry Orchard, by the Russian playwright Anton Chekov. I asked her some questions, and this is what she told me.

Judi Dench’s family were not very rich, and because Judi’s parents wanted her and her brother to have a good education, their father , who was a GP, worked extra hard and they gave up a lot of things.

Dame Judi went to a boarding school, and then to the Central School of Speech and Drama to train as a set designer. When she left Judi went into acting because she thought she would not be a good set designer; she was also influenced by her brother who liked acting.

Dame Judi Dench started in show business at the age of 22, and this is her 33rd year in the theatre. Dame Judi told me she enjoyed working with her husband Michael, in A Fine Romance on television but she found it very strange being recorded with a live audience.

She is more used to doing things like Shakespeare. In her spare time Dame Judi likes sewing, tapestry, art, reading books and the Early Times, and also playing with her dolls’ house, and just having a good time.
