Britain's Finest Actresses Dame Judi Dench's Segment

[Amusement73]

OMG! Glenda Jackson is not on the top, it's beyond comprehension!

[kamwrites]

Judi Dench is perfection in such an unperfect way. She's just lovely.

[teelineshort]

Maggie and Judi should share the honours - both are sublime and brilliant.

[mattdemon]

I freaking love Julie Walters but why the heck is Maggie not ranked higher?

[Messylin]

Apart from the horrific oversight of Glenda Jackson not being on the list (featuring Julie Walters? PLEASE!) where the hell is Annette Crosbie and Billie Whitelaw?!

[Messylin]

Glenda Jackson should be on the list, and should be number ONE. If you put her on a stage opposite Judi, she'd make mincemeat out of her, and every other actress on this list. Glenda is a force of nature!!!!! It's criminal not to give her the accolade of Greatest British Actress! CRIMINAL!!!!

[UpstairsMaid]

I'm not sure where glenda jackson fits in all this - surely she should be in the top 10. as for best actress in the rold, well katherine hepburn and meryl streep surely rank as high as Judi dench.

[sevenonpaper1]

and that is SIMON CALLOW, who played Master of the Revels Mr. Tilden, in Shakespeare in Love

[reinadegrillos]

My three top are: Vanessa, Maggie and Judi. Those three are inmense!!!

[penguinplanet]

Great Actress, GREATER Person (I Hear).

My Favorite with Myrna Loy and Diane Keaton.

[sawleo]

She is the best actress in the world!!!!!!!!

[KimLoveJulie]

Does anyone know where I can watch the whole thing, beacuse I love all of them and would like to see all of it

[fantubelicious]

I'd rank Deborah Kerr on the top 3, with Judi Dench & Maggie Smith. ;-) 

Thanks for posting. Would you post the Deborah Kerr segmen too please!?

[InnateNobility]

I love Judi Dench!

[LexiixoxRoxx]

I don't know why everyone seems to prefer Vanessa Redgrave over everyone, but in my opinion Vivien Leigh is the finest with Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor coming up behind her. Give me as many thumbs down as you want. I'll stick to my idea.

[Teezer44]

This list is voted for by the public so it is about popularity rather than sheer acting brilliance. Based on nothing more than talent and skill, the top 3 positions should be occupied by Vanessa Redgrave, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. By no means is cleopatras Elizabeth taylor or mama mias julie walters greater actors than ms Redgrave or ms smith. Those 3 oscar winning thespians are amongst the greatest britain has ever produced. Vanessa is my personal favourate..no one else is quite like her.

[PuppetPerformance]

Could you plz upload  the vannessa redgrave part?

[AdArmand]

Vanessa Redgrave should be Number 1. The woman is the only genius on the list. And where, pray tell, is Glenda Jackson?!!!!

[CocaineHabbit]

vanessa redgrave would be #2 on my list, dench deserved #1 though.

[PadrethePio]

I completely agree with you. Where is Glenda?!

I loved her and Vanessa in Mary, Queen of Scots.

[CoffeeAddictLaura]

I like how it covers past and present actresses. However i think Deborah kerr should have made it a little bit higher up the list :)

[jryczek]

Billy is right the first thing you say when someone mentions her name is "oh I love her!" So true!

[helenmirrenfan4ever]

I think Vanessa should have been at least the 5 if not the top 3. This list is about acting not about popularity right ?!

[123writerlady]

Marvelously gifted actresses all, but

Dame Judi is my favorite!

and I DO love her!!!!!!!

[picturefan2009]

Unfortunately, this is all I have

[sevenonpaper1]

@picturefan2009 what is that musical theme that is playing behind Simon Callows narration? The part in the first minute?

[lindzy1987]
