Actress Judi Dench wins 8th Olivier Award─── 14:24 Tue, 05 Apr 2016
Veteran film, television and stage actress Judi Dench picked up her eight Olivier Award on Sunday, a record tally at Britain’s biggest night for theatre.
The 81-year-old scooped the Olivier for best actress in a supporting role for The Winter’s Tale.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am absolutely livid as I had a bet with my grandson, which I’ve now lost and I'm never going to be allowed to forget it,” Dench said in her acceptance speech.
“I know everybody says what a wonderful time they had doing something, I can truly say this time that in The Winter’s Tal', it was an absolutely memorable time for me.”
Asked backstage if she had any plans to slow her workload down, Dench told Reuters: “Who wants to slow down? No, I want to be employed. It’s putting the car in the garage that. You will never get it started.”
