Whether it’s her sunny disposition, her gift of laughter, her wide-ranging talent, or all three, Judi Dench is loved as much by her professional peers as she is by the public. Her very name evokes an admiring response, both for her distinguished theater work and for her many memorable roles in movies like Mrs. Brown, Shakespeare in Love, Chocolat, and Iris, and as "M" in four James Bond films. 

          Darling Judi is a book of tributes by fellow actors, writers, and people of the theater, film, and television–including playwright David Hare, actor Ian Richardson, and Scottish comedian and Mrs. Brown co-star Billy Connolly. John Miller is the author of Judi Dench: With a Crack in Her Voice.
