Actress Glenda Jackson has died due to an illness at 87.
Her agent, Lionel Larner, announced her death, “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.”
He added, “Today we lost one of the world’s greatest actresses and I have lost a best friend of over 50 years.”
Jackson was an actress who won two Oscars for her performances. She later became a politician.
She was born in 1936 in Birkenhead, England. She started acting when she was a teen and was involved in theater groups for amateurs. Shortly after, she won a scholarship to attend the acting school the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Once she graduated from college, she immediately began booking jobs. She acted in many shows and got her first Broadway gig in 1965 where she was a part of the cast Marat/Sade.
