Glenda Jackson has died

A great actress and dynamic politician. RIP xx

Great actor.
Loved her in ‘a touch of class’

Oh and winking emojis when someone has just died, really?

The glib response from Primrose53 is so disrespectful
A wonderful actress, from working, class roots, her mother was a cleaner, her father, a painter and decorator
Respect goes a long way you know

A friend I did Sick Children’s Nursing with was Nanny to her son Daniel,that was in 1969.She had a wonderful time with the family,

Glenda was a fine and versatile actor and a committed politician.

RIP Glenda Jackson

Champagne socialist! 😉

A very talented actress and certainly a principled amd courageous woman. RIP.
Thankyou Foxygloves I saw Elizabeth is Missing and would love to see this again.

vintage1950

She was marvellous in 'Elizabeth Is Missing'. It might be on BBC catch-up. What an amazing woman.

Elizabeth is Missing has just been repeated on BBC4 so will be available on iplayer.

Such a great actor. I wish I had seen her on stage. I love Sunday, Bloody Sunday. She was wonderful as Stevie Smith (the poet) too - an underrated film, I think.

I wish she’d been my MP!

RIP Glenda - strong, courageous, caring constituency MP, and very bright.

My, I would have liked to see her "Lear".

I spent a day with Glenda, she bought me lunch and we talked about things other than Showbusiness . I think she appreciated time just talking about every day stuff and our children. We corresponded briefly after but I knew she was busy so did not pursue it.
She was great company and we both enjoyed the day we had.
I am sorry to hear that she has died,

Great actress and a wonderful and caring politician. She put her beliefs into action and almost lived two lives in one lifetime. RIP Glenda

She was a wonderful person who made a positive difference during her lifetime.

In the late 60s I unknowingly entertained her and Richard Green on my boat.
It’s wasn’t until they left that near neighbours came and told me who they were.
I didn’t recognise her. All I remember was that they were very interested in buying a boat and sailing. That’s what they were looking for.
Maybe if id recognised her the afternoon wouldn’t have been so relaxed.

It would be good if a Touch of Class turned up on IPlayer, I 'd like to see that again. I enjoyed many of her early films, apart from Women in Love Bloody Sunday was another.

A Touch of Class (1973) - Glenda Jackson as Vickie Allessio

Vickie Allessio : I'm sorry to bother you at this late hour, but do you have oregano?
Dora French : Christ, I hope not! I had a checkup last week.

Sorry to hear that. RIP Glenda. I’ve seen her in a few productions, but the one that immediately sprang to mind, was her performance with Morecambe and Wise. I hope if they put a program about her life on, it includes that sketch.

I was just thinking about her this morning. Whenever I squash an onion to loosen the layers I remember a scene in "A Touch of Class" She had learnt from her lover a clever way to loosen the leaves of a lettuce by turning it upside down and pressing down on it. Then she sees a female friend doing exactly the same and realises that her lover must have taught the friend the trick too - so what else had they shared?

RIP

A very talented lady in many areas. RIP Glenda

RIP a great actor.

Sorry to hear this sad news. A very talented and much admired woman in both her public guises. Her recent role in "Elizabeth is missing" proved she was very much a force to be reckoned with in the acting world.

RIP Glenda

She was marvellous in 'Elizabeth Is Missing'. It might be on BBC catch-up. What an amazing woman.

RIP for a wonderful actress
