Judi Dench's eyesight failing, has macular degeneration, Dame Judi Dench has to have her daughter read potential scripts to her because her eyesight is failing.

The 77-year-old actress admits she is suffering with ''macular degeneration'' and can no longer see clearly, meaning her 39-year-old daughter Finty needs to read screenplays to her because she cannot do it by herself.

She said: ''I can't read scripts any more because of the trouble with my eyes. And so somebody comes in and reads them to me, like telling me a story. It's usually my daughter or my agent or a friend and actually, I like that, because I sit there and imagine the story in my mind.
