| I'm not very good at this; when I've seen unknown actors and predicted they would someday be stars, they all sank like stones. But when I was in London in the late 70's, I saw an actress at the Royal Shakespeare Company, a short, stumpy woman who looked like she could transform herself into anything. The right wig, and she became a grande dame in The Comedy of Errors and The Way of The World. Dressed in black with a black scarf in her hair, she became an extraordinary Lady Macbeth. Her name was completely new to me, and she was unknown over here: Judi Dench. |
