ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the participation of actress Judi Dench in the film "Notes on a Scandal," which marked the, much favored reunion with longtime theatrical and cinematic collaborator Richard Eyre. In the film, Dench stars as Barbara Covett, a schoolteacher who discovers a coworker's affair with a 15-year-old student. Barbara's character as desperate and lonely, is a departure from Dench's past performances as commanding, upright women of varied importance.
