Dame Judi Dench
'She's been one of our favourite actresses for five decades, and now ...AND FURTHERMORE gives an insight into her sensational career and how she coped after losing her husband to cancer in 2001' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
'Vivid and engaging' WOMAN & HOME
'The most popular as well as the greatest actress of her age' THE LADY
From the moment Judi Dench appeared as a teenager in the York Mystery Plays it was clear that acting would be her career. Trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama it was her performance in her twenties as Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli's memorable Old Vic production that turned her into a star. In the theatre since she has played every classic role from Titania to Cleopatra.
She first became a household name via television, thanks initially to a sitcom, A FINE ROMANCE, in which she played alongside the actor Michael Williams, whom she married in 1971. She has since made nine series of another sitcom, AS TIME GOES BY (with Geoffrey Palmer), as well as plays and classic serials such as CRANFORD. In the cinema her films have ranged from LADIES IN LAVENDER (opposite Maggie Smith) through NOTES ON A SCANDAL with Cate Blanchett to SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, in which she played Queen Elizabeth, a role which gained her a Hollywood Oscar. But it is her role as 'M' in seven James Bond films that has gained her worldwide recognition.
This book is, however, much more than a career record. Her marriage to Michael Williams, their daughter, and her impish sense of humour contribute vividly to her account of more than half a century as Britain's best-loved actress.

Critic reviews
National treasure Judi Dench's collection of anecdotes from her career and family life makes this a sharp-witted memoir.
She's been one of our favourite actresses for five decades, and now ...AND FURTHERMORE gives an insight into her sensational career and how she coped after losing her husband to cancer in 2001
What you will find in this light, readable, amusing book are the ins and outs of Dame Judi's sense of humour
Her generosity of spirit, whether to her fellow players or to the wider public, leaps off the page, as it does from her performances. It is this, together with her extraordinary talent, that has made her the most popular as well as the greatest actress of her age
AND FURTHERMORE is charming and chatty, and the company of our greatest theatrical dame is always pleasant
The much-loved star of stage and screen delves into the story of her life. The professional side spans her emergence as a teenage actress to the Hollywood days as Bond's M and Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love; on the personal front, there's the love of her husband of 30 years and his death in 2001
Vivid and engaging memoir
Much more than a career record, this is Dame Judi Dench's wonderfully honest, intimate and witty account of 50 years as Britain's best-loved actress....
Judi keep doing all that you do. You are so bloody good at it, don't ever stop
I love you judi

What made the experience of listening to And Furthermore the most enjoyable?
I am an immense fan of Dame Judi Dench and enjoyed the background information on the work she has done and indeed the choices she has made during her acting career.Even though Samantha Bond did an excellent job in reading the book I would have paid double to have Dame Judi Dench read it herself.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I found the story line quite technical in parts and referred to actors and actresses with whom I am not familiar. I appreciate in an audio book pictures and biographies of every actor is not really possible but even abbreviations used were sometimes hard to follow.What about Samantha Bond’s performance did you like?
Samantha Bond did an excellent job in reading the material and at times even accentuates certain words as Does Dame Judi Dench.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Am I really a Dame?Any additional comments?
Interesting book, Enjoyed listening to it and learned a great deal from it. No regrets in purchasing it.Perhaps more for the actor than the average reader
