After a second career as a Member of Britain's Parliament, Oscar-winner Glenda Jackson ("Women in Love," "A Touch of Class") has returned to acting, and is now appearing on Broadway in a revival of Edward Albee's "Three Tall Women." Mark Phillips talks with Jackson about her life on two very different stages, and with her Broadway co-stars Laurie Metcalf and Alison Pill about working with a legend.

Saw her this weekend as Lear and spent a minute talking to her outside after the play. What a thrill! I told her I had last seen her in '79 as Cleopatra at the Old Vic, when I was 20 years old and studying at Cambridge. She quickly corrected me that it was at the Aldwych Theatre. She was absolutely delightful, and her Lear was so much fun to watch.

She is wonderful! Delightfully feisty!!! I love seeing her working at her craft - or enjoying her craft still no matter what age she is!!! She's strong, witty, hardworking, and still taking on challenges here! I love it! What an inspiration she is for the rest of us getting on in our senior years!!!

"Three Tall Women" was the first time I had seen Glenda Jackson in anything. I was aware of her, but haven't seen any of her performances on stage, film or television. All I could say is, "Wow! What an amazing actress!" I gonna have to do my homework and start watching her stuff. I'm grateful that it was "Three Tall Women" on Broadway that introduced me to her.

@@philipcochran1972 I'm definitely gonna check it out. Sadly KZfaq and the public libraries don't have the series. Hopefully I'll find it soon. Especially since I'm a history buff and I'm fascinated about Elizabeth 1. I've heard a bunch of people say they love Blanchett as Elizabeth, but Jackson still carries the title as "The Number one Best Actress to ever play Queen Elizabeth." My family and I are probably gonna take another trip to NYC, and hopefully Glenda will still be on Broadway playing 'King Lear.' Ha! And would love to also see Laurie Metcalf in 'Hillary and Clinton.'

Glenda is as good as they get, period! Love Streep, but she's not Glenda. She may have more Oscars, but again, as Glenda said: It doesn't make you better. Love her attitude about awards.

@outinsider 6 жыл бұрын

Glenda's right- Meryl's Oscars don't make her better. At the most, her commitment does. I think if it can be done, I would like to see a project for an American female actor that matches Glenda's style and talent. Maybe an empowering drama with her and Jane Fonda?

I saw her on stage in the West End twice in the ‘70’s . You could not take yr eyes off her. A stunning, low key, non showy, honest actor. She is real. A modern woman. Where did feminism go wrong? If you get the chance to see her live - beg, buy or steal a ticket.

What I take stock of now is that she, like Julie Andrews, was never asked to speak w an American accent. There is no reason Dr House couldn't have been British, nor Kristin Scott-Thomas in many of her US roles. But, accent apart, if such is possible, she is simply a v great actress. I love her here as well. Oscars, Oscars. I hope she won at least one BAFTA.

I'm not trying to prove or start anything here but here are the facts. Glenda Jackson was completely OUT of acting from 1992 to 2015 (23 years) when was a Labour MP. She had no TV, film, or stage credits during that period. In that same time period, two old colleagues (and rivals?) from WAAAY back -- Judi Dench and Maggie Smith -- rose to new fame to a younger generation of audience. Most of Judi Dench's Oscar nominations and wins were in fact won between 1992 to 2015 (Mrs. Brown in 1997, Shakespeare in Love in 1998, Iris in 2001 and Chocolat in 2002 to name a few). Maggie Smith was, of course, already winning acting awards and nominations for small and wide screen before 1992 but it was between 1992 and 2015 that she found new fame with a new generation of audience with Harry Potter (2001-2011) and Downton Abbey (2010-2015). Glenda Jackson has not returned to film or TV since she returned to her old profession in 2016. I wonder how the terrain will change for her generation of female actors (Sylvia Syms, Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Diana Rigg, Vanessa Redgrave, Maggie Smith, Sian Phillips, to name some of them) now that she's back? But of course these acting treasures are not to be seen as rivals. We are all extremely luck to be alive at a time when these giants of stage and screen are still churning out performances.

I don't think she knows what she's talking about. There are literally hundreds of films from the 30's and 40's for where the principal character is a woman, ensemble cast made up largely of women, the themes meant to be of principal interest to a female audience. The actresses where remarkably strong women playing strong characters. However, the actresses tended to speak well, move beautifully and be what was thought of as attractive. ..and today...?

8:22 It's odd that she would interrupt a question, saying she didn't want to talk about her career and then immediately proceeds to talk about... her career... I can't help thinking that she would have reacted completely differently if it was a woman that was interviewing her. A very fine actress but hard to like and with an attitude that seems to suggest a dislike/resentment of men.

They did work together back in the 1970s. Glenda was Elizabeth I and Vanessa Mary Queen of Scots. They were rivals in that film. Are they rivals in real life? I think when one gets to their age (Glenda is 82 and Vanessa is 81), you don't think of rivalries anymore.

1:08 I admire Glenda Jackson but this is an absurd comment. Women were often in films because they were attractive or because a sexual element might make a film more commercially successful (and people can justifiably argue that this was a sexist or objectifying attitude) but having women in the film to prove that the lead male character wasn't gay is just ridiculous.

@florinest Жыл бұрын

Awards are so often the first thing mentioned and emphasized in interviews like this. How Typical. How Boring. Jackson put the interviewer in his place, but I'm sure he hasn't learned a thing.
