'Ladies in Lavender' have a regal premiere THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON -- It was more regal than most movie premieres - two dames and the queen were in attendance at a showing of "Ladies in Lavender" in Leicester Square. Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith, both 69 and co-stars of the film, were given second billing Monday as Queen Elizabeth II was the guest of honor. Proceeds from the event went to the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, of which the queen has been patron for 52 years. Dench and Smith, who have previously appeared together in "A Room With a View" and "Tea With Mussolini," portray two spinsters in a post-World War II Cornish fishing village who take in a mysterious young Polish man they find half-drowned on a beach. Dench said she enjoyed the ease of working with Smith again. "It's the shorthand that we get to know," she said. Director Charles Dance said the pair were a fantastic double act. "They made life very easy for everybody. They don't have any airs and graces," he said. "They're there every day at 7 a.m. on the set without an entourage around them or an army of assistants and they do it better than anybody else can do."
