Blurb of the memoir of the english actrice Judi Dench

You might think you know Judi Dench. In a seven-decade career, she’s been a spymaster, an Oscar-winning queen and has starred in musicals, blockbusters, tragedies and comedies. But what makes her tick? How did she become so successful and for so long? And why did her mother occasionally feel obliged to spray her with a garden hose?

Spend time in her company as Judi gradually starts to reveal herself, in collaboration with her friend and writing partner, Brendan O’Hea. With her actor’s gift for storytelling, she takes us back to her upbringing in York: the parents who shaped her, the brother who encouraged her to act and the teachers who inspired her.

She tells of pranks, onstage and off, dissects her greatest screen roles and shares tales of her joyful marriage to actor Michael Williams, as well as her passion for nature and animals. From being locked out of the Oscars to almost coming a cropper to a pack of crocodiles in Borneo, Judi’s life has been nothing if not adventurous. Just don’t ask her to cook you a meal.

Funny, intimate, surprising, moving and over ninety years in the making, this is the story of Britain’s most beloved actor.

Judi Dench was born December 9, 1934 in York, England. She is one of the world’s most celebrated actresses. She has won numerous major awards for work on both stage and screen – including an Academy Award, ten BAFTAs and a record eight Laurence Olivier Awards. In recognition of her many achievements she received an OBE in 1970, became a DBE in 1988, and in 2005 was awarded a Companion of Honour.

Book by Andy Webb about the betrayel of Princess Diana

Andy Webb exclusively reveals the true extent of the deception Princess Diana experienced at the hands of BBC reporter Martin Bashir before giving her iconic 1995 Panorama TV interview, and how the cover-up that followed left the vulnerable princess to her fate.

Andy Webb, the journalist who obtained the secret files that first broke the story, offers unrivalled insider access to the key players in a thrilling narrative spanning thirty years, from the moment Bashir made his first move in 1995 to the 2024 courtroom where Webb faced the BBC’s elite legal squad to demand access to highly contested documents relating to the scandal. Filled with revelations that have not yet entered the public record, Dianarama will become a key part in the first draft of history.

Andy Webb worked as a reporter for BBC Television for more than 15 years, appearing daily as a front-of-camera reporter, first on BBC News then as a reporter and presenter on primetime shows including the BBC’sWatchdog, before embarking on a career as an award-winning director of documentary films. It was his journalism over a 15-year period which first revealed the truth behind the infamous BBC Panorama interview with Princess Diana and so exposed the greatest scandal in the history of the BBC. Since breaking the story in 2020, Andy Webb has been invited to write on the story for a range of leading publications, including the Times, Sunday Times, Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday and Sunday Telegraph, and has also been interviewed many times on television, radio and podcasts both in the UK and overseas. Andy is married, with four children, and lives in West London.

Flaptekst van de nieuwe roman van Charmaine Wilkerson

A family full of secrets. A chance to set them all free.

When Ebby Freeman travels to France to take a three-month hiatus from her complicated home life, the last person she expects to find is her ex-fiancé Henry, with his new girlfriend in tow.

Nearly twenty years earlier, the Freemans were the only African American family living in a wealthy coastal enclave in Connecticut when armed robbers invaded their home and tragedy changed their lives forever.

Then, just as Ebby thought she had a new chance at happiness, her storybook romance with Henry fell apart.

Now, this unexpected encounter with Henry will force Ebby to reckon with her past and to think on the other loss her family suffered that day – the destruction of a beloved stoneware jar crafted by an enslaved ancestor and passed down through the generations.

A piece that might hold not only her family history, but also the key to reclaiming her future.

Charmaine Wilkerson was born in New York City. She is the author of Black Cake, a New York Times bestselling novel. An American writer, she spent much of her childhood living in the Caribbean and is now based in Italy. She is a former television journalist and an award-winning writer of short fiction. Her debut novel Black Cake was selected as a Read With Jenna pick and was adapted for the screen as a Hulu original series airing on Disney+ and executive produced by Oprah Winfrey. Her new novel Good Dirt is available in february 2025.

Flaptekst van het nieuwe boek van Judi Dench

For the very first time, Judi opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played throughout her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra. In a series of intimate conversations with actor & director Brendan O’Hea, she guides us through Shakespeare’s plays with incisive clarity, revealing the secrets of her rehearsal process and inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans.

Interspersed with vignettes on audiences, critics, company spirit and rehearsal room etiquette, she serves up priceless revelations on everything from the craft of speaking in verse to her personal interpretations of some of Shakespeare’s most famous scenes, all brightened by her mischievous sense of humour, striking level of honesty and a peppering of hilarious anecdotes, many of which have remained under lock and key until now.

Instructive and witty, provocative and inspiring, this is ultimately Judi’s love letter to Shakespeare, or rather, The Man Who Pays The Rent.
