Description
The book we've all been waiting for, national treasure Judi Dench opens her almost inexhaustible collection of memories from life and acting.
Join Judi as she lifts the curtain on cherished memories and hilarious anecdotes from seven decades of performing with some of the greatest names in theatre. Step behind the camera as she reprises her most famous roles, such as M in James Bond, Iris Murdoch and Queen Victoria. Walk with her through her garden as we meet the real Judi, surrounded by the home she built with her beloved late husband Michael. At turns deeply touching and riotously funny, Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It? is a memoir that shows Judi at her inimitable best—telling the stories of a lifetime spent as one of the world's best-loved performers.
