CAP D'ANTIBES, France — Janet Jackson may have joined the ranks of diet plan celebrity spokeswomen Jennifer Hudson and Mariah Carrey, but she insists there's absolutely no competition among the slimmed-down singers.LONDON – Actress Judi Dench is battling to save her sight.
The James Bond star said in an interview published Saturday that she had been diagnosed with macular degeneration, an eye condition that can cause blindness, and that her eyesight was already so bad that she couldn’t even read her own scripts.
“It’s usually my daughter or my agent or a friend and actually I like that, because I sit there and imagine the story in my mind,” she told the Daily Mirror in an interview. “The most distressing thing is in a restaurant in the evening I can’t see the person I’m having dinner with.”
Dench, 77, made her Shakespearean debut in 1957 at London’s Old Vic.
She won an Academy Award for her role as Queen Elizabeth I in “Shakespeare in Love” and is best known to international audiences as intelligence boss M in the James Bond series.
