©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Judi Dench has never been one to mince words. And in her new memoir “Is It Too Late to Make a Run For It?”, out Nov. 3 from St. Martin’s Press, the Oscar-winning icon of stage and screen opens up about the highs and lows of her storied career via a wide-ranging conversation with actor and director Brendan O’Hea.
In this exclusive excerpt from Dench’s memoir, the 91-year-old actress gets candid about her time playing M, James Bond’s MI5 boss, in eight Bond films beginning with 1995’s “GoldenEye” and ending in 2012’s “Skyfall,” where her character was killed off (she then had a very brief cameo in “Spectre.”)
