Dame Judi Dench who is constantly busy with several new movies (every year and more) coming soon (ie. Jane Eyre with Tamzin Merchant, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel with Penelope Wilton, and My Week with Marilyn to name a few) was seen on set recently filming J. Edgar (directed by Clint Eastwood) with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Judi Dench plays Dicaprio's title character J. Edgar’s mother Anna Marie Hoover. Naomi Watts is set to portray Helen Gandy, a loyal secretary of Hoover, and Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) is cast for the role of Agent Smith, a clean-cut operative hired by Hoover to write his biography.
