Who is Judi Dench?

I didnt get that joke at all.

Great actress. She should've got the Oscar for the other time she played the Queen of England, in "Mrs. Brown."

She also has a comedic flair, starring in the BritCom, "As Time Goes By", about two lovers reunited by happenstance after decades.

Excellent show, one of my favorites.

Spike TV just showed a James Bond Marathon over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I saw Judi in one of the movies. She was the only woman who kept her clothes on.

Who's Judi Dench???

No offence intended, but do you go to movies at all?

To be fair, Dench is not a household name in the US. I knew who she was only when I saw a picture of her.

Ok, fair enough. I would have thought that anyone with several Oscar nominations and one win would be better known though. But then I'm a bit of an Oscar geek. :)

Outside best actor/actress and picture, no one cares about the Acadamy Awards, as recent Nielson ratings of their telecasts have shown.

A lot of people do care actually,or they wouldn't bother holding them!

But not enough to place an actress like Judi Dench into the minds of the average US moviegoer.

BTW, what/when/for what was she nominated for?
