The 88-year-old actress says she has a « photographic memory. »
Dame Judi Dench now finds it « impossible » to read scripts.
The 88-year-old actress is a guest on Friday’s episode of The Graham Norton Show and expresses her difficulty with reading scripts due to her deteriorating eyesight.
Dench says she has a « photographic memory » and wants to find a machine that is able to teach her her lines and also locate them on the page.
The Oscar winner previously revealed she has macular degeneration, which causes the gradual loss of vision. In 2012, she told ET about her condition, after a report claimed she was fighting to save her eyesight.
« In response to the numerous articles in the media concerning my eye condition – macular degeneration- I do not wish for this to be overblown, » she said. « This condition is something that thousands and thousands of people all over the world are having to contend with…and it’s something I have learnt to cope with and adapt to — and it will not lead to blindness.
