Honours

Judi Dench's list of honors is remarkable even by the highest standards. Her eight Academy Award nominations place her among the most nominated actresses ever, and her single win came for a performance that defined a generation. She is one of the few performers to have won an Oscar, Tony, and multiple BAFTAs and Olivier Awards, a testament to her range across mediums. Her BAFTA Fellowship in 2011 recognized her outstanding contribution to film, and the upcoming renaming of a West End theatre in her honor is a rare and fitting tribute.
