The legendary performer of the role of M admitted that she has almost completely lost her sight due to age-related macular degeneration. Now she struggles to recognize people, and this has led to her departure from acting. The last film she appeared in was released back in 2022.

According to Judi, her sight has been deteriorating rapidly in recent years. She previously noted that she had a photographic memory, but now cannot work with texts due to vision problems. However, the actress tries to maintain her sense of humor. She recalled a funny incident from the production of “The Winter's Tale” with Kenneth Branagh.

“During the final speech, Kenneth told me that I was looking the other way. And I just rely on people to guide me!” the actress joked.
