Dame Judi Dench is recreated in clay as royal sculptor crafts bust of actress in front of live audience at charity event to celebrate her 90th birthday
The English acting legend, 90, was sculpted live in front of an audience by royal sculptor Frances Segelman for a charity event in London on Monday.
The event was hosted by Dame Judi's longtime friend, photographer and St George's Hospital Charity ambassador Gemma Levine, who was diagnosed with lymphoedema - a chronic condition that causes swelling of the body's tissues - 15 years ago. The sculpture of Judi comes after bosses of the high profile 'science Oscars' edited out a risky sexual gag aimed at the actress, made by J ames Corden, in their final official broadcast of this year's Breakthrough Awards. Dame Judi was not present at the awards earlier this month which was held in a space aircraft hanger and recognised winners for their scientific achievements with leading futures from the entertainment, sports, technology and business.
