Michael Caine and Judi Dench’s Enduring Friendship ‘Keeps Everything in Perspective’ As They Age

Michael Caine and Judi Dench have grown even closer as they navigate the realities of aging, a source tells the Examiner.

Their decades-long friendship has become a steady source of comfort amid health challenges on both sides. “There aren’t many people who’ve lived as long as Michael and Judi,” the source shares. “When they want to reminisce about the madness of their early careers, they really only have each other.”

Between them, the screen legends — he’s 92, she’s 91 — have earned three Oscars and starred in more than 100 films.

While Michael continues to take occasional roles, Judi has largely stepped back due to severe macular degeneration. “It’s been hard for her,” the source says. “But Michael has been a tremendous support, and Judi lifts his spirits too. Their friendship keeps everything in perspective.”

'Miss Congeniality’s Makeover Still Works Because It Was Never About the Dress

Twenty-five years later, the film’s costume designer revisits the rom-com’s fashion legacy.

When Miss Congeniality hit theaters on December 22, 2000, it landed right at the height of the rom-com makeover era. This was during a time when shopping montages ruled the silver screen, a new hairdo could literally change your life, and Sandra Bullock was Hollywood's most effortlessly charming leading lady.

The film introduces Bullock as FBI agent Gracie Hart, a gloriously awkward, no-frills cop who wears “really masculine shoes” and battles her microwave while cooking Hungry-Man dinners. By the final act, she’s gliding across a beauty pageant stage in sequins and heels. Yet somehow, she never loses the endearingly scrappy spirit that made her compelling in the first place.

Miss Congeniality Marks 25th Anniversary

Sandra Bullock shines as an FBI agent forced to go undercover in a beauty pageant in Miss Congeniality, which marks the 25th anniversary of its release today.

“I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.” – Cheryl Frasier (Heather Burns), Miss Rhode Island, on her idea for the perfect date.

The story begins in 1982, when 10-year-old Gracie Hart (Mary Ashleigh Green) breaks up a playground fight, only to be rejected by the boy she likes—prompting her to punch him. Eighteen years later, Gracie (Sandra Bullock) is an abrasive but talented FBI agent. During a sting on Russian mobsters, she breaks protocol to save a choking mob boss, which leads to another agent being shot. Her actions frustrate FBI Assistant Director Harry McDonald (Ernie Hudson), who removes her from field duty and assigns her to desk work.
