Yep, sadly my faves are slowly leaving this earth. Judith Durham, Olivia Newton-John, and now actress Glenda Jackson. We lost Barry Humphries last month. 😪
Wise, intelligent, talented and never egotistical, Glenda Jackson will be truly missed. I feel really sad at the news of her passing. An embodiment and promoter of values I hold as fundamental, Glenda Jackson was an inspiration to me. RIP 😔
Well put! You’re so right, there’s a tremendous sadness I feel about her death because most people don’t have her principles or integrity. It feels like we’ve lost an exemplary human being and English icon.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis I can relate to what you say about the current lack of people of integrity in public life. You're right, that context is part of the sadness I am experiencing. It feels like there's a void.
I've always adored her. Elizabeth Tudor never got a better interpretation of her life than from the magnificent, magnetic, gorgeous and sensual Glenda Jackson. Rest in peace, wonderful lady. We won't see your like again. Miss you forever.👑
Just watched Glenda in the 1973 comedy Touch of Class - so quick witted and engaging. Such a talent - and sincere champion of the British working class. We will miss her -RIP
What an excellent And so talented actress , loved her performances in so many of her films She was up there with the greats and brought that talent through her performances , sadly nobody like her today , Privilidged to have shared this planet with her likes
I had the great pleasure of meeting Glenda Jackson, and besides being lovely, gracious, and a phenomenal actress, she was one of the most powerfully sexy women I've ever met...
Great woman of genuine principle and a terrific dramatic actress harnessing that same core truth. And then she showed great comedy flair on the Morecambe & Wise Show that surprised a lot of us back in the day who have long memories like what I have got.
Everything she did was riveting to me, but I always wanted her to do more flat out comedy, like the Cleopatra bit on Morecambe & Wise. I think her voice itself was her greatest gift.
@@joelangford7601 Absolutely I didn't see the Cleopatra bit, but she was divine in A Touch of Class, Hopscotch, and House Calls. Elizabeth R meant so much to me. Her disappearance into Elizabeth's life, into her heart and mind, beyond speech and gesture, was a wondrous thing. I watched it again (DVD) in tribute after I heard she was gone and she took my breath away all over again. She is an irreplaceable treasure. God love you, God keep you, God rest you, sweet Glenda. We will never forget you.🌹👑
Mavis Nicholson is an interviewing legend. She passed away recently and barely a tribute. If she were a man it would be a different story. She was an excellent role model to women; she was smart, sassy, thoughtful and a breathe of fresh air in the male dominated world.
Thanks. What a legend she was, one of the most underrated actresses of that era, even with all her nominations. Sunday Bloody Sunday alone...and I'm also glad to see this was done by the wonderful Mavis Nicholson.
She wasn't underrated - She was widely acclaimed and revered for her great acting talent - It was more a thing that she was so unique that she didn't fit into any of the established showbiz or acting categories
Underrated...2 oscars,emmys,tonys...and how many awards in england...if you think that,it's because she was not under the public for many years except for her political career,but it was her choice... then, she decides to play king lear at more than 80years old...and it was an international triumph...in a sense,she was in a league of her own.
Glenda was never underrated, she was just forgotten by new generations. When she retired from acting to focus on politics, actresses like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith took the roles that would have kept Glenda a prominent actress to the public.
Growing up in New Zealand, I will always associate Glenda Jackson for her comedic roles in some Morecambe and Wise shows. Of course she was great in serious roles as well and one that I always admired her in was in Sunday, Bloody, Sunday. RIP.
A great actress,used to enjoy watching her on tv in the 70s as a youngster,saw her in a theatre play called Stevie ,it was so long ago but her acting left an impression,condolences to her family and wishing everyone health and happiness.
A good interview. But fancy Mavis telling Glenda her face was not conventionally a good looking face, and how well Glenda took that remark. I recall writing to Glenda Jackson through her secretary about transport presenting some ideas and that she was great on the Muppets. Certainly she was beautiful with a wonderful sense of humour. I was delightfully surprised to get a very flattering comment back, saying she would definitely consider my ideas and a big thank you for the compliments. I'm glad to say, I knew Mavis personally, we were always good friends. We met in the mid-70s and met often at her home or out and about, and at first would write letters to one another. Later it was emails. She was a big fan of my poetry. Her husband Geoff was a very good writer, their 3 sons always well spoken and a pleasure to meet. Though some of the village people seem to be more friendly with my knowing Mavis and we were close friends. I was more or less illiterate up unto the mid 80s her son Harry encouraged me to write.
I agree, I thought the interviewer was rude and kept pressing her opinion about Glenda’s looks. I think she was startlingly beautiful, stunningly smart and immensely talented.
Very sad, 🥺 Lovely to see her as I've known her threw the year's, just listening to her you can see she something to give to Parliament 🇬🇧💯 a lot more than the Circus of a house it is TODAY 🤩🇬🇧🆘 A real star 🎬😍🎭 and a fighter... God bless her SOUL ✌️🙏😇 London's missing you Miss🇬🇧🆘👁️💥👁️🙏
She truly sounded wise and considerate. Unlike many progressive-minded people today, who speak down to people with more conventional views. Kudos and RIP
You gave her a script and whether it was a serious drama [Sunday bloody Sunday], historic [Mary Queen of Scots], or comedy: A touch of class, this lady was a winner all the way, never ever disappointing her audience. Her performances were so compelling that you wanted to stand up and cheer. In Mary Queen of Scots and A touch of class, I was drawn to both films like a magnet and re-saw both movies several times over. Her characters always spoke their mind, irrespective of the consequences, but the audiences always found themselves gravitating towards her character[s] and agreeing with her wholeheartedly. Glenda was truly a gem of GEMS! Rest in peace you humongous piece of talent.
“Skeins of life”? 😁 I love it. An obvious reader, Jackson was always refreshingly articulate and honest about her place in the profession. R.I.P. Thanks.
"You're not conventionally beautiful?" Sorry Ms. Jackson agreed with that stupid question-I always thought Glenda Jackson was amazing looking and quite beautiful. RIP
A very fine actress indeed. It was probably unconscious, but Glenda Jackson promptly gives the correct pronunciation of Bette Davis's first name, overturning Mavis Nicholson's rendering of it - it should be two syllables. Glenda Jackson was at least the equal of Bette Davis as a performer, although I doubt she would ever have said so.
“Your face isn’t a conventionally good-looking face” - wow! 😄 I get what the interviewer is saying, and it is clearly meant respectfully, but it is a bit of a shock, too. (And I’m German, we’re not famous for sugarcoating.)
The women interviewer spent first few minutes basically telling Glenda she wasn’t glamorous and as pretty like normal film stars. So rude. Glenda is perfectly lovely as she is.
@@BedboundME I suppose it was more about her having two Oscars at about that time (not quite sure about the timeline) and not quite fitting the expected movie star expectations.
I’ve always thought she had beautiful eyes. I think she would have been a beauty: had she not had such cropped hair and only a tad of makeup. Nothing excessive. She had a great shape-and was quite graceful. So intelligent! 😀
Some of us think the 1950s was a most elegant time. People have always been free to wear what they please, despite prevailing fashions. And the 1950s, like all eras, encompassed actually a very wide variety of costume, for different times of day, different occasion, level of formality, etc. Just a glance at 1950 films reveals this (to everyone except those people who say all Mozart's works sound alike...) The absurd assumption prevailing styles have such power over us is analogous to Betty Friedan's assertion that women are VICTIMS of television commercials. My mother, a surgeon, graduated medical school in 1958, knew how to turn televisions off. My grandmother, a surgeon, graduated medical school in 1927, also knew how to turn televisions off. When gardening, at home, with friends, they wore what they wanted. When out in the world, they considered certain costumes (namely a jacket and skirt type of suit) empowering rather than constricting. Such suits -- also for men -- are "democratizing", all become more equal, thus ULTIMATELY, less emphasis on the clothes and more emphasis on CHARACTER and COMPETENCE. None of those hippy-dippy styles resulted in any revolution in the status of women. If they are more comfortable, fine. But just as a point of reference: First lady doctor: 1849. First lady PhD in Mathematics 1678 -- yes, SIXTEEN SEVENTY-EIGHT (Elena Piscopia Carnaro -- and a few years after that, Laura Agnesi). Glenda Jackson, a wonderful actress in Elizabeth R! Absolutely wonderful! As political scientist/historian, hmm, well let's just say she hasn't read the script yet.
" . . . not conventionally good-looking." I'm not sure what that really means. She was certainly striking. I think she was beautiful--gorgeous eyes, high cheekbones. Weird that they got started on her looks like that.
I think it's a great beautiful haircut that suits her very well. (But of course I could be all wrong, having no knowledge in beauty matters whatsoever.)
She calls herself an actress. More than once! Isn't actor for a woman less sophisticated, less glamorous, less feminine? Is being politically correct so v controlling? Ugh.
She was our greatest actor...EVER
Great actress and really smart as well. No wonder she was so lauded during her lifetime!!!!!
What a magnificent Actress she was, the world is most definitely a smaller place without her. Bravo !

Brilliant interview by the peerless Mavis Nicholson, using her brilliance to get a fascinating interview from Glenda.
So articulate and erudite. Although a 'modern feminist', still so very English and respectful of her heritage.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Glenda Jackson, and besides being lovely, gracious, and a phenomenal actress, she was one of the most powerfully sexy women I've ever met...

It was a deliberately ungrammatical line to send her up which she uttered succinctly in a Morecambe and Wise skit! Great sense of humour!
Both incredibly Brilliant
Glenda Jackson an awesome actor.

Have to make it about politics, don't you, Karen.
Was able to reinvent herself and lived a brilliant life
Beautiful as you are. ❤
A really beautiful actress. Saw her once, not long ago at Blackheath station, very nice lady indeed.

I love Bette, but not as Elizabeth. She was Bette Davis playing in a costume piece both times.
Glenda WAS Elizabeth. Period.
Simply superb.

Has an American actor ever used the word 'avuncular' in their common everyday speech? I don't even know if a Brit has, that is - before Glenda.

"This ghost town called Hollywood." And in 1973!
She was like a female John Lennon. Totally fearless and determined not to behave.
Tom Priestly wrote her a biopic which was very good
