Judi Dench poses on the red carpet during the Oscars arrivals at the 94th Academy Awards in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, US on March 27, 2022.LONDON - British actress Judi Dench has called on Netflix to add a disclaimer to royal drama The Crown, joining a chorus of voices criticising the series' fictionalised storylines.
Dench has portrayed historical queens Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria on screen as well as James Bond's boss 'M'. "No one is a greater believer in artistic freedom than I, but this cannot go unchallenged... the programme makers have resisted all calls for them to carry a disclaimer at the start of each episode," Dench wrote.
