Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith joke Judi Dench 'has paws on all acting jobs' in resurfaced video

Dame Joan Plowright took a playful swipe at friend and fellow actor Dame Judi Dench in a clip from Tea with the Dames.

The video resurfaced following the announcement that the award-winning actor and widow of Lord Laurence Olivier died at the age of 95.

The iconic actors starred alongside Dame Maggie Smith in the documentary film in 2018, to look back at their careers.

As Dame Maggie joked that Dame Judi was always offered roles first, Dame Joan shared an anecdote.

“My agent in America said to me... ‘Well, if you do want to come over again, we'll look around for a nice little cameo that Judi Dench hasn't got her paws on,’” she added.
