Biography

Jeffery Danny Dench (29 April 1928 – 25 March 2014) was an English actor renowned for his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He was the elder brother of actress Judi Dench.

Born in Tyldesley, Manchester, Jeffery Dench was the son of Eleanora Olave (née Jones), originally from Dublin, and Reginald Arthur Dench, a physician who met Eleanora while studying medicine at Trinity College, Dublin. He grew up in Tyldesley with his brother Peter before the family relocated to York, where his sister Judith was born.

Dench attended St Peter's School in York, where he began acting, notably playing Cleopatra in George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra.

He completed his national service at an army theatre in Catterick before enrolling at the Central School of Speech and Drama. There, he met his first wife, Betty, a speech therapist. In 1963, he moved to Clifford Chambers and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he remained for many years.

Jeffery and Betty Dench had three daughters: Sarah, a teacher residing in Brailes; Clare, living in Shiplake; and Emma, a Roman historian formerly associated with Birkbeck, University of London, and Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Betty passed away from a heart attack on 11 January 2002. Jeffery later married Ann Curtis, a costume designer for the RSC and longtime family friend. They lived in Stratford-upon-Avon, and in 2012 he was named President of the Stratford-upon-Avon Choral Society.

His death in England was announced on 27 March 2014; he had passed away two days earlier.
