Dame Judi Dench has become the oldest star to appear on the cover of British Vogue in its 104-year history.

The 85-year-old was photographed for the magazine’s June issue before lockdown, but in the interview talked about self-isolating at home in Surrey.

She said she hopes “a great deal of kindness” will come out of the crisis.

The Oscar-winning actress also admitted to being unhappy about her character in the Cats movie, saying she looked like a “battered, mangy old cat”.
