The veteran British actress has previously condemned the behavior of Spacey and Weinstein, who have both been accused of sexual harassment, but she told UK publication The Radio Times that the men’s screen and stage work should not be diminished.
London theater The Old Vic received at least 20 personal testimonies of alleged inappropriate behavior by Spacey, who was its artistic director between 2004 and 2015. None led to criminal prosecution. The formeractor appeared earlier this month in a Massachusetts courthouse as part of a case in which he is accused of groping a young man in 2016, an allegation he denies.
Dench also defended Spacey, whom she describes as a “good friend”, at last year’s San Sebastian Film Festival.
