She was 87, good lord . What was the film she made with. ( forgotten his name) she was his mistress I think ?

[MargoTester]

Women in Love with Oliver Reed?

[pastafreak]

Oh my...I didn't realise she was still alive.

Back in the day, if Glenda Jackson was in a film, you knew it would be worth watching. One of our best actresses, imho.

RIP Glenda

///One of our best actresses, imho.///

Very true Ken. Yet she once said the highlight of her acting career was appearing on the Morecambe & Wise show. This remark, and her performance on that show parodying her own acting, show what a wonderful person she was. She will be much missed.

[Patsy33]

Yes, brilliant actress.
RIP Glenda.

[Lie-in King]

Sad news indeed. RIP Glenda.

[anneasquith]

A touch of class ?

[ichkeria]

She played King Lear at the age of 80.

I really wish I’d seen that

[Ellipsis]

RIP ...

[jno]

it was magnificent, ichkeria. Actually 82, I think

Marvellous actor. Supported Labour and played a male Shakespearian role, and still loved as a national treasure, despite doing all the "wrong" things. (Wrong in the right-wing AB sense).
Bless you, Glenda.

[jourdain2]

A wonderful actor, yes definitely R.I.P.. I believe her very last film, with Michel Caine playing a D-Day veteran who escapes from his care home to revisit Normandy, is yet to come out. I shall look forward to it.

[jno]

also wrong in the Labour sense, Atheist - she might well have gone a lot further in politics if she hadn't forthrightly opposed the Iraq war, but she stuck to her principles.

[lady-janine]

RIP Glenda.
A wonderful actress;
A stuiring and caringly thoughtful politician;
Someone with a great sense of humour and self awareness.

Not many people like that - if any. You were inspiration and long may you be remembered.

[Hymie]

She wreaked heinous social and economic damage on the UK.

Some ABers are going to have to re-evaluate their praise of Glenda.

[pastafreak]

Elizabeth is Missing is on BBC 4 now.

[Peter Pedant]

Hi olds
yes agree - she was worth a cinema ticket - I liked a touch of class

women in love - ken russell. Gorgeous cozzies - the brightest and best supplied by russells wife who was a collector ( obv c taste).

odd two careers - and not very good at her second (MP)

Morecambe and Wise - did anyhone spot the Sand Dance?
I hadnt realised her than they had telegrammed her - we can make you more money than you can imagine

[Peter Pedant]

sand dance here - typical musical hall, and in all their films
audience loved it - a bit rude to be woke

[Peter Pedant]
