Glenda Jackson

From CNN" — "Two-time Oscar-winning actor and former UK politician Glenda Jackson has died peacefully after a short illness at the age of 87. Glenda Jackson, two-time Academy Award-winning actress and politician, 87, died peacefully at her home in London this morning after a short illness with her family by her side,” her agent Lionel Larner confirmed to CNN on Thursday." She certainly gave the world a lot of pleasure through her fine acting. We had the good fortune to see her in a play in London in 1976 called "White Devil". She played an amazing death scene as I recall. And I think we paid about 75 cents to see the play. London theatre was cheap in those days and we always got the cheapest seats since the theatres were small and you got a good theatre experience from pretty much anywhere in the theatre.
