Glenda Jackson in conversation | BFI Q&A

Glenda Jackson, star of Women in Love and A Touch of Class, talks about her extraordinary career.

From her Oscar wins for her roles in Women in Love (1969) and A Touch of Class (1973) to the Emmy-winning TV role Elizabeth R (1971), Glenda Jackson’s talent and intensity have burned through big and small screen alike.

She served in parliament as a Labour MP from 1992 to 2015 and, perhaps uniquely in the annals of thespian history, made a triumphant return to stage acting at the age of 82, winning a Tony Award and an Evening Standard award. In 2019 Jackson earned a BAFTA upon her return to TV after 25 years, for her role in Elizabeth Is Missing. Here she talks to BBC Radio 4’s John Wilson.
