Judi Dench's forthcoming memoir, titled Is It Too Late to Make a Run For It?, recounts Robin Williams offering to help her late husband, Michael Williams, up a steep hill during a party at Billy Connolly's home in Scotland, according to Variety. The book describes Williams as "gently supportive" and says Dench has often thought about his sensitivity and understanding.
The memoir also contains Dench's first public comments on acting in the 2019 film Cats, adapted from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical. In the facts as reported, Dench does not hold back on the experience.
Background
Dench and Robin Williams worked together in 1996 on Hamlet, and in 1999 Williams presented her with the best supporting actress Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. Williams died in 2014 at the age of 63.
