Judi Dench, who portrayed Sybil Thorndike, met Thorndike several times in real life. The first time was in 1958, when Dench was in "Romeo and Juliet" at the Old Vic. "She came round to see us afterwards and was so charming. We were young actors and she was lovely to us and strongly encouraging and gentle. I think they got very, very close to how Dame Sybil was in the script."
