Judi Dench isn’t a fan of terms like “old” or “vintage”, as she feels robust and alive as ever at the age of 79. The Academy Award-winning Philomena actress will turn 80 in December, but entering the octogenarian epoch doesn’t frighten Judi at all. In fact she is outright insulted by how some people categorise the elderly, and she has banned the use of some words in her home. "It's the rudest word in my dictionary, 'retire'. And 'old' is another one. I don't allow that in my house. And being called 'vintage',” she told The Hollywood Reporter. "I don't want any of those old words. I like 'enthusiastic' and I like the word 'cut' because that means you've finished the shot."  Skyfall star Judi suffers macular degeneration, a disease that impacts eyesight. The congenital malady, which her mother also had, often results in a loss of central vision and the damage occurs gradually. "I never want to make much of it, but it is difficult - very, very difficult," Judi admitted about what it is like dealing with symptoms. "I can't read anymore. I can't paint like I used to. I try to watch movies, but it's quite difficult. But these are all of the negatives. I don't want to really think about all that. What I can do, I do. And I somehow get by." Via: Entertainmentwise
