List of Glenda Jackson performances

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

English actress Glenda Jackson (1936 – 2023) achieved notability during her performing career, which began in 1952. She took a hiatus from acting from 1992 to 2015, after being elected as the Labour Party MP for Hampstead and Highgate. Following her departure from Parliament, she made a successful return to performing. Her acting work encompassed stage, radio, film and television. In addition, she also narrated and presented various campaign films. The list does not include works in which Jackson only appeared as an interviewee, rather than a performer, such as chat shows.

Jackson won the Triple Crown of Acting, the term used for actors who have won a competitive Academy Award, Emmy Award and Tony Award in the acting categories – the highest accolades recognised in American film, television, and theatre, respectively. She had also been nominated for, and received, numerous other awards.
