Dame Judi Dench has revealed she almost gave up on her film career after a director said she wasn’t attractive enough to be on screen.
Speaking to CBS Mornings on Wednesday (1 May), Dench recalled how she was dissuaded from pursuing a film career by a director who didn’t like her appearance.
“I took that role very seriously indeed,” she said, with O’Hea adding that Dench “didn’t even crack a smile”.
‘No you haven’t got the face for film.’ “I didn’t expect anything more,” she added.
