- Oscar-winning actress and former Labour MP Glenda Jackson has died aged 87.
On 16 April 1971, Jackson spoke to ITN after finding out she had won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance as Gudrun in Women in Love (1970). It was the first of two Academy Awards for Best Actress Jackson would receive in her career, the second being given for her turn in A Touch of Class (1973). As well as recounting the moment she found out about her win, Jackson discussed the differences between the British and American film industries, the decline of Hollywood, and what she planned to do with her award.

Imagine listening in to the conversation between Bette Davis and Glenda Jackson - absolute legends and a real similarity in many ways.
I thought she was nonchalant winning Oscars because mostly that's what I read but here she was delighted.
She didnât attend the ceremony either of the two times she won. Thatâs probably what led to the impression that she was nonchalant about the award.
I agree, perceptions can be very false, and rumors spread like wildfire, so itâs great to hear straight from the _subject_ of all the chatter.
Glenda Jackson was an enormous talented and is so deeply missed! đâ€ïžđ
A brilliant actress. I see her as the (Voice only as the female John Hurt, that husky accent with a northern tinge coupled with elegance. Her greatest performance on The Morcombe and Wise showđ, to send herself up with Eric and Ernie was pure magic. RIP Glenda Jackson one of Britain's finest.
I'm ashamed to say that I only now discovered her. I'll have to take a look at her work. She was extremely articulate and clear in this interview. Very impressive and obviously a very serious and talented actor.
See both Women In Love and touch of Class. Two totally different performances and whatever you do, see her in Stevie which is very hard to find, but the entire movie is here on CZcams. Both Jackson and Mona Washbourne are brilliant and both should have won Oscars for those performances. Also, Sunday, Bloddy Sunday where she was also brilliant but had just won the year before and lost to Jane Fonda for Klute. Then Hedda, another fantastic performance and she was also nominated for that one and if I'm correct, Hedda was her last nomination for Best Actress. She was up for Women In love-win; Sunday Bloody Sunday/ ;Touh of Class-Win; Hedda. Again, should have been up in 1978 or 1982 depending on how its looked at for Stevie.
Glenda is wearing the headscarf as she shaved much of her hair off to look like a more authentic Elizabeth I as she was filming Elizabeth R at the time.
Rip Glenda May Jackson, you will be missed
Glenda Jackson as THE most of her century actress involved in politics and became famous for her activities đąâ€đą
A very honest and direct actress. I remember when people were just straight forward, no need for excessive over reacting and humour like those of today. Glenda Jackson always remained like that.
That is the most amazing interview and the answers about the difference between America and British awards for acting.
My God what an insirful insite in to two sides of the same kind
She really was the greatest on so many levels about her art
The fact that she and Bette Davis were friends mind blowing.
My two favorites
R.I..P sleep with the angels â€â€
In addition to her monumental acting skills, she was also very beautiful with the most gorgeous accent.
RIP GLENDA JACKSON. Your words of kindness, understanding and empathy as a politician I hope will live forever alongside admiration of your incredible talent â€ïž x
Greatest English actress ever. Best Elizabeth I ever
This is the only time Iâve ever seen her talk positively about her Oscar win(s). I wonder why she changed from this to the disdain she showed for most of the rest of her life? Either way, a huge loss - and insane timing that only a week before she died she posted me back signed photos that Iâd sent her! RIP Glenda đ„ș
There's a more recent interview from around the time she left parliament where she is asked - once again! - about those bloody Oscars, and she simply reiterates the surprise and shock (her word) of winning, and the idea that they are lovely things to have but irrelevant to the doing of the job itself. I don't think her attitude ever changed, but it was always held up as a model of sneering contempt because she didn't go the other way and absurdly celebrate the wins as an anointing by God. She was simply avoiding those very Hollywood pressures she mentions in the video by not falsifying her reactions - although you can believe that when every interview she ever gave, whether for acting or for politics and across more than 50 years, always involved talking about those Oscars, she was tempted into exasperation. But I don't think her 'disdain' was ever the same thing as ingratitude, contempt, or unkindness.
Such an insightful observation. She noted that failure, for American actors, if you want to refer to losing the Oscar as failure, could seriously impact their value as box office bets. Losing an award competition, she said, wouldn't damage a British actor's future employment options,in that way. It's worth pointing out, though, that this was probably truer in the years when major film companies had singular control and say so over film production and over the professional and often personal lives of actors. The American film industry has decentralized a great deal since 1971, resulting in more employment options for actors who don't benefit by the validation of an Oscar win.
Uma estupenda atriz.Gostei da atuação dela no filme Hedda.
She is right about America. We don't like failure at all. And artists have no respect when they faile.
RIP
Leonard Parkin interviewing.
So articulate.
A classy and decent woman.
Icon.
I would have loved to have seen her and Bette Davis in a movie
I saw her with Joan plowright in a play. A touch of class is my favourite film or hers. Her sense or humour!
