I like this image because it shows Dame Judi Dench as a "down to Earth" character and it is how I imagine her to be in real life! I have never met her but I have seen her acting in many roles where she has always played the straight comedienne delivering the laughter lines. The image above seems to highlight this ability of hers to be both ordinary and charismatic at the same time. I like the way that he has taken her into the studio and taken her out of the actor's comfort zone of having props to help her create a character. She is standing in a quite open stance but possibly a softened pose with one leg behind the other - if she had been standing with both legs equally distant from the painter she might have appeared totally different! Possibly a little uncomfortable? Her clothes are quite casual compared with some of the stage costumes she has worn - such as when she was M in 007 and Queen Victoria in Mrs Brown. To me she is being shown in a plain, realistic interpretation of how she actually is - possibly Judy "in the raw"?
