DENCH AND DICAPRIO IN SHAKESPEARE HALL OF FAME

DAME JUDI DENCH and LEONARDO DiCAPRIO are among a handful of stars who will be inducted into a new hall of fame dedicated to WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. The hall - to be erected in the playwright's birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England - will honour the performers, directors and artists inspired by the great dramatist's body of work.
Dench toured with esteemed theatre troupe the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1960s, while DiCaprio became a star after tackling the tragic lead role in the 1996's Romeo + Juliet.
Actors Laurence Olivier, Kenneth Branagh and Patrick Stewart - who have all played various Shakespearean characters on stage and screen - will also join the celebrated display.
The hall of fame is due to open in April (09) - the month of both Shakespeare's birth and death.
