Personal Life
Kendal's first marriage to Drewe Henley (1968 to 1979) and her second to Michael Rudman (1983 to 1990) ended in divorce. She converted to Judaism at the time of her second marriage. Kendal has two sons: Charley, from her marriage to Henley, and Jacob, from her marriage to Rudman. In 1991 she left Rudman, and subsequently started a relationship with playwright Tom Stoppard although there is no evidence that this was the cause of the marriage breakdown. The affair with Stoppard ended in 1998 and Kendal has since reunited with Michael Rudman.
Kendal was made a CBE in 1995.
