MAGGIE SMITH & JUDI DENCH INTERVIEW Part 1

While promoting their film Ladies in Lavender in 2005, the great Dames gave an interview to Leonard Lopate.
Part 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ToJZiTmYXY

A new DVD entitled Maggie Smith at the BBC has recently been released, which sounds great. Unfortunately the release seems to have been marred by idiocies: 1.) It's not available in the UK (even though Maggie is British) and 2.) It omits the BBC productions of Lily in Love and Memento Mori, in which is contained one of Maggie's "funniest performances" according to her biographer. Insane.

I think it was from Time Magazine.... helped?

I'm glad you agree!

Lovely listening to Maggie and Judi; the interviewer is rubbish though. Instead of latching onto their answers, and getting them to expand their responses he moves onto a totally different question all the time.

The interview doesn't flow very well.

MI6 agent chief and a Hogwart's professor? Seems like an unstoppable bunch.

I love it when Maggie says something witty and Judy would crack up.

Leonard Lopate is a little too interested in hearing himself. He always railroads a good potential answer so he can chime in on it somehow and show that he's on top of it. He can be incredibly tedious. Regular noon-to-two daily show on WNYC -- one tunes in to hear the guests and hopes he doesn't stampede the guest too much.

He has a deeply more talented brother, Philip, a very good writer. I think he's compensating for it.

@FeDe4 i agree.

What a tedious interview! Dame Maggie and Judi were gracious and tried to make the best of it.

The two most exemplary actress, both stage and screen, of the last 50+ years. Both are so versatile and everything they do is a gem. I wish Dame Maggie would do more interviews . . . .
