Judi Dench

[Connemmara]

Just after watching a little of her arriving at Skyfall (not interested) but she was on her own - could her daughter not have been with her or her little grandson.


They were saying that her eyesight is not good which I know so I think she should have been accompanied. Do you think so.

[boxtops]

No, I don't think she's troubled about being on her own. There's a bit in the paper today about a new film she's making. Great lady.

[sandyRoe]

She probably decided that she wanted to arrive on her own. If she'd wanted an escort the studio would have arranged it.

[Connemmara]

I hope I get to that age and be like her - at the moment at 60 I feel 78 - I think that is her age - I guess she is independent like me too.

[Connemmara]

But she was seen in youtube with a gentleman - who was a bit of an escort to her and also an animal conservationist like herself. He could have been there with her. To tell you the truth it brings back home like I am on my own but I adamantly refuse to go any event with out company - it is so lonely looking and she is a strikingly good looking woman she could get anybody even at her age. Too stubborn and independent for her own good - just like me.

[woofgang]

As others have said, if she want to go alone she can. I don't think she "should" do things anyore than I think that you ore me or anyone else "should"

[Connemmara]

well woofie - i think having company takes the "bad" look of you - as if you have no friends.

[woofgang]

But that means that you care what people who aren't your friends think.....and why on earth would you do that??

[craft1948]

She does have a boyfriend now................

[chelle7272]

Connemara I don't believe your 'company' defines who you are. You do. Why worry what strangers you'll probably never see again think of you?

[Ric.ror]

I believe she does have a gentleman friend
I cannot understand why people need to have someone tagging alongside them all the time
I love going to the cinema/theatre on my own - its a blessed relief to have only my self to worry about and only myself to please
It just does not happen enough

[Sharingan]

She might not have been alone, sometimes they like you to red carpet alone for photographic purposes, she could well have been with someone but I can't see it really matters if she wasn't.

[friedgreentomato]

//i think having company takes the "bad" look of you - as if you have no friends.//

Seriously?

Shall I tell that to my widowed friend who would rather go alone than drag someone with her just so she doesn't walk into a party herself!!

[Connemmara]

fried - no you don't have to tell your widowed friend anything she feels comfortable going to parties alone I don't - I am invited to about 2 weddings per year and I do not go because of that no way hosay. That is my opinion of myself nobody else.

[EcclesCake]

Why does a woman need anyone else at her side if she has self confidence and self respect???

Also as this was a professional function having to keep an eye on a partner is distracting you from your professional role.

[mrs.chappie]

I know what you mean, Conne, I'm quite a confident person but don't think I'd turn up for something like that on my own. I don't think many do.

[DJHawkes]

I'm sure she used to be married to someone called michael but i could be wrong

[Jan1957]

Since I lost my husband I am the same as you Connemmara, I hate going anywhere on my own and sometimes turn down invitations too. We are all different I suppose.

[Maydup]

She was Dotty, but he died.

[silliemillie]

Dotty, she was married to actor Michael Williams, he died a while back.
