From the moment Judi Dench appeared as a teenager in the York Mystery Plays it was clear that acting would be her career. This book is, however, is much more than a career record. Her marriage (Michael Williams died in 2001), their daughter, and her impish sense of humour contribute vividly to her account of more than half a century as Britain's best-loved actress.
