Glenda Jackson – 85, Birkenhead

Glenda Jackson started from extremely humble beginnings to achieve greatness as an actress and politician. After saying goodbye to showbiz in the early ’90s, Jackson found herself being pulled back to the camera lens, making her comeback in 2019. She is now making her return with a truly stunning performance as a lady suffering from dementia in Elizabeth is Missing.

After winning the hearts of audiences with her roles in Women in Love and A Touch of Class, Jackson turned to politics in a bid to serve the people. During her time as a British member of the Parliament, she played a key role in several social initiatives.
