I adore her so much! I am going to rewatch both of her Oscar winning role .Women in love is hard to get through but she's also one of the few I would do that for.
Always have thought Glenda was stunning in "Women in Love," including her looks. I agree with Jill Clayburgh on the counter-viewpoint.
You can't BE more brilliant! Within an hour, TWO phenomenal summations of two "turbulent" years (1962, 1970). Just one note: one of my closest friends was Pauline Kael (in the last decade of her writing career, i accompanied her to the movies 50% of the time, and four out of five times, when she quotes her friend, i'm the friend), and when Glenda Jackson first burst on the scene (in WOMEN IN LOVE and SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY), Pauline was very ambivalent: recognizing the power of her talent, but admitting that Jackson was often off-putting and seemingly deliberately unlikable. But by the end of the 1980s, with performances in movies like STEVIE and THE RETURN OF THE SOLDIER, she became one of our favorites (someone we looked forward to seeing if she was in a movie). What had happened was that Jackson was bringing her power and her attack to parts of retiring, "humble" characters, and she showed how she could also assay the spark inside seemingly "shy" characters. (And by the way, Pauline was always antagonistic towards Stanley Kauffmann, but i was also a friend of Stanley's, and we did discuss Glenda Jackson, and Stanley felt that she was someone whose "frankness" could be her beauty.) BTW i wish Pauline and Stanley were alive, because i would be sending them links to your videos, so they could appreciate your brilliance as much as i.
Thanks so much for your kind words and this fascinating insight! Amazing that you knew her!
I absolutely adore this win 🥇 my personal top 10, a win that could only have happened that year. 1970 was actually a strong year for female performances but the academy went with performances not looked back with great enthusiasm. Where was the nominations for Shirley Stoler in The Honeymoon Killers, Barbara Hershey for The Baby Maker, Faye Dunaway for Puzzle of a Downfall Child, Shima Iwashita for Double Suicide and Nadine Nortier in Mouchette? I’m happy for the best actress performances that were nominated for 1970 but there were other possibilities. Jackson delivers an avant-garde performance in an avant-garde film. 🎞️ This best actress win remains unpopular but I’m thrilled that it happened. This win proved that a female character didn’t need to cry every 20 minutes to make a cinematic impression, or have to become a victim to inspire interest from the audience. The character of Gudrun is a complex cipher, painted with broad and bold colors by Jackson. Thanks for your great work.
I agree. And she’s great, along with Peter Finch, the following year in their nominated work for “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”
Love this Video.
And, Glenda was BEAUTIFUL in that closeup where some one is applying make-up to her eye in Women in Love when she gives the famous "CLEOPATRA" speech !! See the film !!!
I always wish the Golden Globe Best Actress in a Drama would have won. Her film is the only one that I've watched (and enjoyed!) multiple times with a few tears.
My rank order: 1) Jackson - far above all; 2) Snodgrass; 3) Alexander; 4Tie) Miles; MacGraw
Ah, Fritz...you know my thoughts on this win. Jackson was different and stood out at the right time. But Carrie Snodgress will always remain my choice for 1970.
Carrie is a wonderful choice as well! :)
Always loved Glenda. Yes, I'm gay, but I've always found her exceptionally beautiful. Since i saw her im Elisabeth R in late 1990s there was not a chance for me not to be a fanboy
A year ago, I was sad upon Glenda Jackson’s death and sought out UA-cam programs of her I had not seen and came across Fritz and the Oscars’ monumental account of the 1970 Best Actress Oscar race. I have been an admirer ever since of his superior episodes.
Thanks so much!
EASY ANSWER: She gave a far better performance than any of the others and is basically a far better actress in general than all the others except Jane Alexander.
I agree that Glenda, despite incredible competition, deserved to win. That year, Ali McGraw was a favorite in what was the number one grossing picture of that year, ‘Love Story’. Her performance, however, paled in comparison to Glenda’s. Carrie Snodgress would have been my close second. Thanks, Fritz, for another amazing trip down cinema memory lane and for highlighting the often neglected Glenda Jackson.
I never saw Glenda as unattractive she was no beauty queen but she was not ugly in fact I think she looked good in A Touch of Class
Women In Love was released in 1969
Women In Love was released in the UK 🇬🇧 and Europe 🇪🇺in 1969. The film 🎞️ was released in the USA 🇺🇸 and North America in 1970, as to why the Academy Awards nominated Women In Love for the year of 1970.
Glenda deserved the Oscar, Ali just gave a typical Hollywood starlet performance. Glenda was classically trained with superb articulation and a strong film & stage presence.
Ali was prettier and simply rode on the popularity of that STUPID, MORONIC BESTSELLER- LOVE STORY❤❤
Oh, give me a break, lol... Glenda was a gifted actress; Ali was pretty.
Young GJ bears a more than a passing resemblance to Kate Moss, how times have changed.
You do know, I assume, that Ali and Ryan thought Love Story was so ridiculous that they would laugh after playing the scenes. They thought it was a joke, and there is more than a little contempt in their perfirmances.
This is a really easy one. McGraw simply isn’t that great of an actress. Jackson is in a different class entirely.
I thought the lineup for best actress 1970 was for the most part forgettable it was no one's finest hour
I agree with the other comments below. Snodgress was simply amazing in that movie. Amazing. I did not get Jackson and MacGraw, yuck. Over sentimentalized mush.
Ali McGraw didn’t win because it was a terrible performance
Mmm my favorite is Sarah miles Jackson is only good no more maybe because women in love is for moment a complicated film.love story with defects is better for me.ryans daughter is fabulous.Alexander y Snodgress so so
