Tulip Siddiq, Labour MP for what is now the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency, is among those paying tribute following Jackson's death. Labour MP and shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell, who worked for and alongside Glenda Jackson, recalled the"incredibly kind" politician's humour. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also paid tribute, saying Jackson had left"a space in our cultural and political life that can never be filled" and that she"played many roles with great distinction, passion and commitment".Before her death, Jackson had been reunited with fellow double Oscar-winner Sir Michael Caine, who she last acted with in The Romantic Englishwoman in 1975.
While working at her local Boots store, she joined a friend at the YMCA amateur dramatics society and went on to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art . She wrote to the prestigious school and was offered a place after auditioning, but could not afford the fees.
