Love this interview because she does not appear to be performing for the camera or audience as she does in other interviews and allows herself to speak naturally. I miss those times in the 1970’s when realism and truth were in vogue. She is also immensely articulate and spellbinding to look at.
She acknowledges her RADA grant from Cheshire Education Authority very early in the interview, always mindful of the contribution of public funds and a social policy to value the potential of lower class folk. She never put her own actor ego above that social contribution to her success. A fine woman, a feisty spirit, and a great actress.
Miss Glenda Jackson confirme une fois de plus que la filière théâtrale du Royaume-Uni forme les meilleurs acteurs de la planète. Sa diction est tout simplement parfaite, et ses réflexions toujours pertinentes. Un bel esprit qui se déploie sans contrainte grâce à un interview rondement mené par Mark Caldwell. Une belle découverte.
A really enjoyable and satisfying interview. Glenda is surely an intelligent and articulate women and she is riveting. And an interviewer that listened and let the interviewee speak. As a result, we got a great insight into the actress and person. God, imagine lighting up now! It's illegal!!
Thank you so very much for posting this! What a sharp, keen mind she has. And what an actress. No one will ever play Gudrun as well as she did in Women In Love, which is my favorite of all her films.
+Dave Fuller - absolutely! I read that DH Lawrence based Gudrun on Katherine Mansfield, and that just made Glenda's rendition of the character all the more potent and evocative.
@BigDeanoSyd And all of them except Blanchett are cold and aloof. I think there's a common misconception that emotional coldness in women is a sign of strength. I don't believe there's any connection between the two.
It’s a great interview but I wish it was longer and more detailed. I’m American and born in 1966, so I never got to see her on the stage. I feel like I’ve been robbed.
Good gracious,, I just now have realized that one can fall in love with another based on intelligence. A wonderful actor and a wonder of a woman. Thanks for posting.
Interviews are always fun to watch when you have someone as intelligent, quick witted and elegant as Ms. Jackson. Really missed her all those years when she was in politics. Don't suppose there are many acting roles for 80 year old ladies. Too bad.
So she had her education at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) paid for by a scholarship and grant from the Cheshire Education Authority. 0:35 This was during 1954-56 and she came from a low income family. It's the middle class kids who then and now have to struggle to get any help for an education and frequently don't. You can see a picture of her about the time she graduated in '56 when she had a bit part in a movie called "Extra Day". Type in Glenda Jackson Extra Day 1956 in search bar. It would be eight more years of repertory theater work and low paying regular jobs to support herself before her career took off starting with "Marat/Sade" in 1964.
Just saw her yesterday in "Three Tall Women" on Broadway---if you are a fan of hers, make it a point to go see this play. She is a tour de force on the stage.
I have the utmost admiration & adoration for Miss Glenda Jackson's intellect, charm, beauty & professionalism. But for some strange reason during this interview, David Bowie came to mind. Facial similarities? Dunno really, just looks like they might be related although I'm sure they're not. Amazing interview though. She was and is an amazing talent and a lovely woman.
And very good ... in UK as Labour M.P. a "people's parliamentarian" and ombudsman in the best tradition of olde England; a Joan of Ark fighter for right, soothsayer to power.
Phil Baugh I’ve always seen her and John Hurt as the missing link that never was in British Cinema. If only they had made a leading film together what a presence it would have been.
I feel as if sometimes maybe Glenda Jackson is considered to be far too posh or too much of a professional actress But I think people sometimes horribly think her as maybe being bratty or snobbish But she really isn’t and she’s very well spoken and she’s not over the top And I heard Scott baio when he was in after they were famous documentary when working on bugsy malone that he said they met Glenda jackson and she was like “what are you doing here why are these people here so horrible” But I don’t think she wouldn’t have been like that at all or a show off.
Maybe it's just me--but if Glenda Jackson were ever to be portrayed. I don't know, but I really think that Melissa Gilbert would portray her very well. :D
18:14 - 18:29 I find this statement slightly troubling. In The Romantic Englishwoman, Lewis Fielding (Michael Caine) is certainly jealous and insecure but any notion that his wife (who is cold and aloof) could have contributed more to the marriage is completely dismissed by Glenda Jackson. The argument that he was ‘failing her’ and that the fault was entirely his suggests that a husband’s duty to his wife is greater than the wife’s duty to him. I really think that Jackson just doesn’t like men very much.
I could listen to her all day. Such such incredible intelligence and insight not to mention the loads of talent in that woman...

Brilliant, intelligent woman. She has the best diction ever, and she's also the best Queen Elizabeth l i've ever seen
Absolutely marvelous! Glenda, along with Vanessa Redgrave, are among the best ever!
A truly brilliant actress and woman. Loved her especially in Elizabeth R!
She's exquisitely eloquent.
What a Powerful, Principled, Talented, Wonderful Woman.
I'm glad she had a chance to light that cigarette
What a good interview. Intelligent and direct. Too bad we don't have interviewer's like him.
WOW, what an amazing lady! If only all actors had such good heads on their shoulders!

She is amazing-I love her.
Thank you for posting! I could listen to her voice all day. Love Glenda.
Amazing an actress that can speak in full sentences.
Glenda Jackson, Cate Blanchett, Judy Davis, Katherine Hepburn are All Taureans and extremely powerful, articulate and highly intelligent women
@BigDeanoSyd And all of them except Blanchett are cold and aloof.
I think there's a common misconception that emotional coldness in women is a sign of strength.
I don't believe there's any connection between the two.
brilliant and fun lady....
one of the most pleasurable interviews ive watched in a long time......such an interesting gutsy lady.....love her
Among the delights of this unusually intelligent woman's interview here is watching her recall John Schlesinger with an increasing amusement.
Erudite. Humble. Chatty. THE Elizabeth 1. Remarkable Northern lass.
It’s a great interview but I wish it was longer and more detailed. I’m American and born in 1966, so I never got to see her on the stage. I feel like I’ve been robbed.
Excellent.A real find.
I first saw her in "women in love" circa 1970 an exceptional woman, a marvelous Actress, a great human being then and now
I love Glenda Jackson
I love Glenda Jackson too❤
Good gracious,, I just now have realized that one can fall in love with another based on intelligence. A wonderful actor and a wonder of a woman. Thanks for posting.
Her voice has not changed much since then....still sounds the same.

not. Amazing interview though. She was and is an amazing talent and a lovely woman.
She is so intelligent and talks so much lol.
A Hampstead class warrior.. Lady fortune is indeed a strumpet.
She's from the working class north of England you idiot.
No doubt an intelligent woman and one of our finest actresses. However, I am open to debate re her abilities as a politician.
The interviewer is Mark Caldwell
Was this interview ever transmitted on television or what date it was transmitted on?
No it was never on broadcast TV
And very good ... in UK as Labour M.P. a "people's parliamentarian" and ombudsman in the best tradition of olde England; a Joan of Ark fighter for right, soothsayer to power.
Or what channel it was transmitted on if it was?
No TV channel; because it was never on broadcast TV anywhere.
Was the tape just recorded privately but then for no audience.
Was it stored with you in like an archive of tapes?
It was originally recorded for showing within the network at Imperial College London, but has gained a wider audience since CZcams started.
@@benjaminclasper9355it's included as a supplement on the Criterion Collection Blu-ray of Women in Love.
I've always admired her greatly. I see a bit of Charlotte Rampling here. Although, Glenda is more verbose.
Phil Baugh I’ve always seen her and John Hurt as the missing link that never was in British Cinema. If only they had made a leading film together what a presence it would have been.
Yes. They have similar voice and face.
Who is the interviewer?
I feel as if sometimes maybe Glenda Jackson is considered to be far too posh or too much of a professional actress
But I think people sometimes horribly think her as maybe being bratty or snobbish
But she really isn’t and she’s very well spoken and she’s not over the top
And I heard Scott baio when he was in after they were famous documentary when working on bugsy malone that he said they met Glenda jackson and she was like “what are you doing here why are these people here so horrible”
But I don’t think she wouldn’t have been like that at all or a show off.
She lives a very simple and spartan life these days.
Glenda was from a working class family.
I see more resemblance to Mick Jagger.
It may seem irrelevant, but I could swear the interviewer was a woman, until i heard the voice.
17:50 I wasn't the least bit surprised when Jackson said this. I get the impression that she's never been interested in a man's point of view.
Maybe it's just me--but if Glenda Jackson were ever to be portrayed. I don't know, but I really think that Melissa Gilbert would portray her very well. :D
Hilary Swank looks like her though.
i see your point actually , but it is giving me the impression that you must be american.
Look's like this geeks glasses are steaming up. Who can blame him.
18:14 - 18:29 I find this statement slightly troubling.

I really think that Jackson just doesn’t like men very much.
I must say very good interviewer,very inteligent and knows his stuff but unfortunately not very masculine and gave her a good run
If she was so intelligent, why did she smoke?
