just turned 80, has lost much of her vision and is thus scaling back her film career. But what a career Judi Dench has had.
From the Bard to Bond, with an Oscar in between. Seven Oscar nominations, in all, in a storied career that put her on everything from British sitcoms to every great work the stage has to offer a woman.
I’m talking with her about her turn in “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.”
Questions for Dame Judi? I’m serious, I could use the suggestions. Comment below, and thanks for the help.

She’s often said she always looks to do something different than her last role. What’s it like then to play the same character, Evelyn Greenslade, a second time?
Was her M to Daniel Craig’s James Bond the same character M to Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond?
Who would she like to work with in the theater and in the movies?
PS – don’t ask about retirement because she has no plans to retire.
What brand of shoes does she wear, they look comfy.
