In her own words; Dame Judy Dench…

[Deleted User 1977]

Beautiful and true sentiments!

She likely would have never gotten where she is and no one would have ever heard of her if it weren’t for her looks.

She was a Shakespearean actress (in roles like Lady Macbeth) long before she became "M" in the James Bond franchise. Yes, there fewer stage acting roles for men or women who can't look reasonable, but it doesn't require the looks demanded by the film industry of young leading ladies.

Im honestly kind of confused of what that has to do with what I said.

I really don't think her looks were a major factor in her career. No more so than for any other stage actress.

I don’t believe that she would have risen to the level of fame that she has on her talent alone.
