Gen X, Y and Z better watch out, for the Silver Generation is about to become the generation that speaks with authority and responsibility, but has it’s own expectations on how we should and need to be treated and dealt with in today’s society.
Dame Judi Dench has apparently overtaken the Queen as the most popular female in Britain. Whether that’s true or not, it does bear the question. When is old, too old? For what? Why? Is there literally if not technically an age when a person becomes of no importance? If so, what is that age, and why is it deemed to be so?
Judi Dench was born in 1934, and she is still the drawcard for today’s films. Even discounting the wonderful Bond movies in which she played the part of “M” and the two Most Exotic Marigold Hotel films, she has also recently starred in a lovely little romantic comedy for the BBS starring Dustin Hoffman called Esio Trot (a play on the word tortoise). Her work schedule would overwhelm any woman and yet she is still ever eager for the next script to land on her desk. And I ask a simple question - why shouldn’t we all have the same enthusiasm for any new idea or project?
