Who wants to beJudi Denchs plus one to every event?
Because she really needs the help.
On Trini WoodallsFearlesspodcast, Dench says her failing eyesight is now preventing her from going out alone.
Somebody will always be with me, she says.
I have to now because I cant see and I will walk into something or fall over.
It is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 60, according to theCleveland Clinic.
There is a silver lining, however.
Macular degeneration is a great excuse to skip press events.
Im always nervous before going to something, Dench said.
I have no idea why.
Im not good at that at all.
Nor would I be now.
And fortunately, I dont have to be now because I pretend to have no eyesight.
Its not exactly pretending.
Its difficult if I have any length of a part, she said at the time.
I havent yet found a way.
