Glenda Jackson, a two-time Academy Award-winning performer who had a second profession in politics as a British lawmaker, has died at 87.
Jackson’s agent Lionel Larner stated she died Thursday at her house in London after a brief sickness.
“She lately accomplished filming ‘The Nice Escaper’ through which she co-starred with Michael Caine,” he stated.
Jackson was one of many largest British stars of the 1960s and 70s, and received two Academy Awards, for “Ladies in Love” and “A Contact of Class.”
She then went into politics, was elected to Parliament and spent 23 years as a Labour Get together lawmaker.
She returned to performing after leaving Parliament and had a few of her most acclaimed roles, together with the title character in Shakespeare’s “King Lear.”
