I grabbed the Judi Dench biography quickly and left the Library. Later I realized it was about her career as an actress rather than a typical bio. It was still interesting, covering her career from it's beginnings until sometime before she did the movie *Chocolat with Juliette Binoche and Alfred Molina (and Johnny Depp. )
John Miller wrote the book (The proper title is: Judi Dench with a crack in her voice) and he also co-wrote John Gielgud's memoir An Actor and his Time. (which I plan to check out in the future.)
The Christian Science Monitor got it right when they said this book was "Compelling reading for anyone intrigued by actors and acting..." I am interested, but not intrigued, and so...
*When I was at Waterstones Bookshop in Belfast they had a huge sale going, and I got Chocolat and several other books by the same author (Joanne Harris) at a price I couldn't pass up. Her books are great for foodies to read. I spent a quiet afternoon in a hotel reading her novel Coastliners while a storm raged outside.
