Informative Caption informs us that Young Judi is "holding a script of 'Henry The Fifth', which is being broadcast as part of 'An Age Of Kings', a serial adaptation by the BBC of Shakespeare's eight sequential history plays. Dench plays Katherine of Valois in the two-episode adaptation of the play." She is 26 here, and I respect this woman's LIFETIME commitment to a short 'do.
