On April 29, Glenda Jackson appeared in conversation at 92nd Street Y to discuss her career with moderator Annette Insdorf.

Throughout the interview, clips from films that Jackson appeared in throughout her career were shown, as she discussed what brought her to today.

Clips were shown from such films as Ken Russell's Women in Love-for which she earned her first Academy Award-and Marat/Sade, The Music Lovers, Sunday Bloody Sunday, A Touch of Class, Mary, Queen of Scots (co-starring Vanessa Redgrave), The Return of the Soldier (with Julie Christie and Ann-Margret), The Romantic Englishwoman, and Hopscotch.

Currently starring in King Lear at the Golden Theatre, Glenda Jackson is not only a legendary performer but a politician who spent 23 years as a member of Parliament. Her triumphant return to Broadway in Edward Albee's Three Tall Women last year-after a 30-year absence-earned her the Tony Award, among other prizes. For her performance as Queen Elizabeth I in the BBC series Elizabeth R (1971), she received two Emmy Awards, and was also nominated for The Patricia Neal Story.
