But with two Academy Award nominations in as many years -- in 1997 for her stunning performance as Queen Victoria in Mrs. Brown and in 1998 for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love -- as well as the lead role in David Hare's Amy's View on Broadway and her interpretation of "M" in the James Bond films, Dench has quickly become one of Hollywood's most respected and sought-after stars. First acclaimed in England in 1960 as the Juliet of her generation, Dench has triumphed ha a career which encompasses most of the great Shakespearean leads as well as a variety of television and big-screen roles. This authorized, affectionate biography, the first time she has cooperated in the telling of her story, contains many of Dame Judi's own reminiscences and includes a postscript in which she recounts her triumph at the latest Oscar ceremony, her return to Broadway after 40 years, and her role in the new Franco Zeffirelli film, Tea with Mussolini. minimize
