What does everyone think?
I admire and appreciate Dame Judi's immense talent and have the utmost respect for her as a person. She appears to be one of the most grounded actresses ever...not caught up in her own celebrity...working for the craft and the personal satisfaction more than the monetary benefits. She's deserving of this award. However, we all should recognize that this poll was, basically, a popularity contest. One cannot, and should not, try to compare modern day talent to that of the past...it's akin to comparing apples and oranges.
