Question: Is Dame Judi Dench's M character based on Stella Rimington!?
Stella Rimington was the first female DG (Director General) of MI5!. Thanks!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Ian Fleming based much of M's character on Admiral John Godfrey, Fleming's superior in British Naval Intelligence during World War II!. After Fleming's death, Godfrey complained "He turned me into that unsavoury character, M!." Other possible influences include Claude Dansey (known as "Colonel Z") and Maxwell Knight!. Fleming biographer John Pearson also hypothesised Fleming's characterisation of M reflects memories of his mother!.

As for Judi Dench's character herself, it is likely that she is based at least somewhat on Stella Rimington, the head of MI5 between 1992 and 1996 because the similarities are too close for it not to be!. But as Casino Royale and now Quantum of Solace skews off the the track of her previous Bond films as M, it is difficult to say!. After the new movie and maybe others, it may be easier and more apparent to determine the basis for the characters!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
