Judi Dench Tired of Being M

The British actress has had enough of playing James Bond’s boss, however, producer Barbara Broccoli did everything she could  to convince the star to participate in Quantum of Solace.

Broccoli resorted to using persuasion to convince Judi Dench to come back for one more adventure. The producer said, "I don’t want her to leave. She keeps threatening to leave but I will not let her!"

According to Broccoli, no other actress could touch the talent of the Oscar-winner for Shakespeare in Love. "She is our anchor. She is the anchor of the film in terms of the character. She is the only authoritative figure in Bond’s life. She is the real Bond girl – the one that keeps it all going," Broccoli explained.
