Actress and politician Glenda May Jackson CBE was from England. She is one of the very few actors who have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting thanks to her success in winning two Academy Awards, three Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award.
She received a CBE from Queen Elizabeth II in 1978. Jackson took a sabbatical from acting from 1992 to 2015 to focus on a political career.
He was selected to represent the Labour Party in the 1992 general election for Hampstead and Highgate.
She served as a junior transport minister in Tony Blair’s cabinet from 1997 to 1999 before later criticizing him.
She started serving Hampstead and Kilburn in 2010 when the constituency boundaries were altered.
A recount proved that her 42-vote majority in the general election of 2010 was the slimmest in that Parliament. After the 2015 general election, Jackson quit and resumed acting.
Health And Illness Of Glenda Jackson
Former Labour MP and two-time Oscar winner Glenda Jackson passed suddenly just a few weeks after working with Sir Michael Caine on what would wind up being her final film.
After a “brief illness,” the Women in Love actress passed unexpectedly at her home in Blackheath, southeast London, according to her agency. In 1992, the actress gave up her professional career to spend more than 20 years in Parliament.
She just finished filming the new movie The Great Escaper, in which Sir Michael, 90, plays the elderly Bernard Jordan, who escaped captivity in 2014 so he could attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France.
Congratulations from the acting and political worlds poured in at the news of her passing. According to Labor Party leader Sir Keir Starmer, her passing “leaves a space in our cultural and political life that can never be filled.”
She left her position as a member of parliament in 2015. Nevertheless, she triumphantly made a comeback to television in the 2019 movie Elizabeth Is Missing, in which she portrayed an elderly woman with early-stage dementia.
Her acclaimed Bafta-winning performance made it clear why she had won so many awards over her storied career.
Was a former Labour MP cancerous?
Glenda Jackson, a former Oscar-winning actress and Labour politician, died at the age of 87. The beloved artist and fearless politician reportedly “died peacefully” in the company of her loved ones.
People speculate that she may have passed away from cancer.
According to a statement from her agent Lionel Larner, politician, and two-time Academy Award winner Glenda Jackson died away peacefully this morning at her home in Blackheath, London, after a brief illness.
She recently finished shooting “The Great Escaper,” in which she co-starred with Michael Caine.
