DAME JUDI DENCH once had a serious wardrobe malfunction which forced her to perform on television in her underwear.
The then 23-year-old was completing a quick costume change on the set of her first ever TV role when she forgot to put on a skirt - and had to make do with just a blouse.
Dench, now 72, says, "There was one shot where I had to run and do a change from one scene to another. When I got to the next scene I was standing on some stairs and I realised I hadn’t got my skirt on. "So I thought I’d sit down and the cameras were able to film me from the waist up. That’s how on the ball the crew were."

The father of RON GOLDMAN is taking legal action against a file-sharing website which has posted O.J. SIMPSON’s book IF I DID IT.
Fred Goldman owns the rights to the tome, in which the shamed former football star places himself at the scene of the 1994 killings of Goldman and his friend Nicole Brown, and claims he has lost over $150,000 (£75,000) in sales profits since Swedish site The Pirate Bay made the book available for free downloading.
Goldman’s attorneys have sent a letter demanding the site’s operators stop posting the book. However the defendants have indicated "they are not subject to the laws of the United States." The lawsuit seeks to recover profits from the "illegal publication" of the book - as the Goldman estate could lose out on a substantial sum as a court ruled they will receive 90 per cent of the book’s profits.
David Cook, Goldman’s attorney, says, "Ron Goldman LLC will never be able to stop these pirates from posting that book online but they can do that in the poorhouse." Goldman’s father Fred and sister Kim were awarded the publishing rights to the book by a federal judge in Florida in July (07) after campaigning to stop Simpson releasing the tome last year (06).
Simpson has paid very little of the $33.5 million (£16.75 million) in damages he was ordered to pay to the Goldman family by a civil court after being sued for wrongful death - with the Goldmans hoping to recoup part of this sum through If I Did It.

BLACK EYED PEAS star FERGIE was once so distraught with her flagging music career she turned to drugs - and became schizophrenic.
The singer - real name Stacy Ferguson - enjoyed moderate success in her teens with girl group Wild Orchid but fell into a deep depression when the trio disbanded.
She says, "I started taking ecstasy. From there, I got into harder drugs and a bad place. I had chemically induced paranoid schizophrenia. "At one point I was sure the FBI were coming for me. I said, ‘Okay, if you walk through that door and they’re not out there, it’s the drugs.’" But the 32-year-old eventually found an inner strength that helped her beat the habit: "A voice inside me said, ‘Listen, you can kick this.’ So I stopped."

LATEST: Australian singer/actress DELTA GOODREM is engaged to former WESTLIFE star BRIAN McFADDEN.
The couple confirmed their engagement on Friday (30Nov07), despite reports Goodrem had turned down the proposal because she was "too young" to settle down.

R&B star CHRIS BROWN has denied reports he engaged in sexual activity with his longtime manager TINA DAVIS at the age of 16.
Georgia-based blogger Sandra Rose claims the 18-year-old singer has been romancing Davis for more than two years, adding the teenage star’s mum Joyce is "not at all happy" about their alleged relationship.
But a spokesman for Brown has strongly refuted the claims, branding the speculation "false".
A statement reads, "Chris Brown and his manager Tina Davis have a strictly professional relationship. Ms. Davis has been instrumental in helping Chris achieve success as a multi-talented singer/dancer/actor.
"Rumours that the relationship goes beyond a working one are not only patently false, they diminish her efforts and his undeniable talents."

LATEST: MORRISSEY is taking legal action against a British music magazine after they accused him of using "naive and inflammatory" language on the topic of immigration in Britain.
The former Smiths frontman will begin legal proceedings against NME magazine and its editor Conor McNicholas on Friday (30Nov), claiming his words have been taken out of context.
A spokesman for the singer says, "We are suing them (the NME) for defamation.
They have not only misquoted Morrissey, they have omitted critical parts of the interview and distorted the tone of the piece, his responses and the questions he was asked in order to try and present an inflammatory case." Morrissey, 48, is alleged to have said in the interview: "Other countries have held on to their basic identity, yet it seems to me that England has thrown it away.
"Britain’s a terribly negative place… with the issue of immigration, it’s very difficult because, although I don’t have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the identity disappears." This isn’t the first time NME magazine has fallen foul of Morrissey - the publication previously angered the singer’s camp in 1992 when they printed a picture of the star draped in a Union Jack flag along with the title: ‘Flying The Flag Or Flirting With Disaster?’

LETHAL WEAPON star DANNY GLOVER and SEAN PENN are among the stars who have petitioned U.S. President GEORGE W. BUSH in a bid to bring U.S. and Cuban artists closer together.
The duo is among the artists, scholars and performers who sent a letter to Bush on Tuesday (27Nov07), asking the President to consider lifting travel restrictions on U.S. and Cuban artists.
In the letter, the collective artists write, "We are writing you as representatives of the cultural sphere in the U.S. We write you as American citizens. We write to express our dismay at your administration’s continuing hostility towards Cuba." America and Cuba have had tense relations since the 1959 Cuban revolution and the U.S. cut off the Caribbean island in 1962 when politicians enforced a trade embargo in 1962, which is still in effect today.

The SPICE GIRLS star VICTORIA BECKHAM is to bare all as part of an advertising campaign for fashion designer MARC JACOBS.
The 33-year-old will follow in the footsteps of stars including Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Naomi Campbell who have stripped for Jacob’s charity t-shirt collection in the past.
Beckham was originally signed up to model the designer’s forthcoming spring/summer 2008 fashion line, but was then asked to get naked for the revered campaign, which aims to raise money for skin cancer charities.
Jacobs raised $60,000 (£30,000) for good causes in 2006 with the previous line of t-shirts which sold in the designer’s stores for just $5 (£10).
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Victoria loves Marc’s work but wasn’t entirely comfortable with getting naked. Marc went all out to persuade her.
"And when she heard about what a great cause it was she knew she just couldn’t turn him down. The picture she and Marc have chosen is amazing - sexy but tasteful."

Mexican actor EDUARDO SANTAMARINA is desperate to get back together with his ex SUSANA GONZALEZ - because he wants the chance to put right the mistakes he made in the relationship.
The couple, who met on set of the soap Amigas Y Rivales, announced their mutual split last week (ends23Nov07), blaming "different life projects" for the break-up of their four-year romance.
But Santamarina is having second thoughts and wants to rekindle his love with Gonzalez.
In a recent TV interview, the star blamed himself for the fall out and said he had a "99.9 per cent chance" of making up with Gonzalez.
