An actress unafraid to speak her mind
Glenda Jackson, who has died aged 87, had scant patience for the usual foibles and pretensions of her profession.
"I regard acting," she once said, "as a serious job for serious-minded people."
Hollywood showered her with admiration and two best actress Oscars. But Jackson was not easily flattered.
Famously prickly, her view of Tinseltown often bordered on contempt. "If I'm too strong for some people," she said, "that's their problem".
And, at the height of her acting power, she gave it all up for a career in politics.

Glenda Jackson was piercingly intelligent and unafraid to take risks
Glenda Jackson, who has died aged 87, had a career unmatched by any of her contemporaries. From 1957 to 1992 she enjoyed huge success on stage, film (twice winning an Oscar) and television. From 1992 to 2015 she was a Labour MP, first for Hampstead and Highgate and then for the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency, becoming a notably outspoken backbencher. In 2016 she returned to acting as a magnificent King Lear at the Old Vic, London; later, on Broadway, she won a Tony award for her performance in Edward Albee’s Three Tall Women.

Sir Keir Starmer said: "I was very sad to hear of Glenda Jackson’s passing. She leaves a space in our cultural and political life that can never be filled."
"She played many roles with great distinction, passion and commitment."
"From award-winning actor to campaigner and activist to Labour MP and government minister, Glenda Jackson was always fighting for human rights and social justice."

"I had been prepared to be awed, intimidated, even terrified," Ben Brantley writes of meeting the actress in person five years ago.

Glenda Jackson: morta la diva due volte premio Oscar e attivista politica
A 87 anni è morta ieri a Londra Glenda Jackson, grande attrice che aveva legato il proprio nome in teatro a Peter Brook e al cinema a straordinari registi come Ken Russell, Schlesinger, Losey. Attrice drammatica (negli ultimi anni sulle scene prima inglesi poi americane ha trionfato nel “Re Lear” come protagonista), la Jackson era anche brillante e se ne era accorto il regista Melvin Frank che con “Un tocco di classe” le fece vincere nel 74 il secondo Oscar dopo quello ottenuto nel 71 per “Donne in amore”, statuette mai ritirate, cui si aggiungono a molti altri premi, fra cui due David di Donatello) ed altri per il teatro e la tv.

Egérie de Ken Russel, Glenda Jackson avait 87 ans. Elle avait abandonné le théâtre et le cinéma au début des années 1990 pour se consacrer à la politique, du côté du Labour et des «pauvres, des chômeurs et des malades».
Die zwei Leben der Glenda Jackson
Glenda Jackson hat zwei Leben geführt. Eines als berühmter Film- und Bühnenstar und eines als Politikerin. In beiden gab sie sich nur mit Spitzenleistungen zufrieden.
