Judi Dench
Similarly to Helen Mirren, British actor Judi Dench was enormously successful for her stage work, but relatively unknown outside that arena until later in life when she played M, the head of the Secret Intelligence Service, in 1995’s James Bond film “Goldeneye.” She was 60 at the time. After that, Dench shot to fame, receiving seven Academy Award nominations and winning for Best Supporting Actress at age 64.
