RIP Glenda Jackson (9.5.1936 - 15.6.2023)
"An actor can do Hamlet right through to Lear, men of every age and every step of spiritual development. Where's the equivalent for women? I don't fancy hanging around to play Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. Life's too short."
"If I'm too strong for some people, that's their problem."

Glenda could be fierce‚ was an avowed feminist‚ a tireless campaigner for human rights and for those living in#poverty. she spurned the celebrity status her two oscars earnt her‚ and approached acting always as a craft‚ to be respected and taken#seriously. her entry into politics was inspired by thatcher‚ only in that she found the Thatcher government's policies and actions to be#detestable and anathema to those concerned with the welfare of the needy and the under represented. she took her political work just as#seriously as she did acting‚ becoming a vocal critic of Blair and calling for his resignation over the Iraq war and the death of David Kelly#a solid socialist‚ an immensely talented actor and a genuinely good person. we see too few Glendas these days. rip#<3

"The Venetian ambassador, Giovanni Michiel, went further still,describing her as as ‘the illegitimate child of a criminal who was punished as a public strumpet’."
IIRC, Mary says those exact words in the first episode of Elizabeth R 👌

Glenda Jackson meant a lot to me both for her acting and her politics. She will be so missed.

By the wonderful David Munrow and his Early Music Consort of London. I miss the days when not just the costuming but the music for historical dramas was *right* too. Even the theme music. Here, David Munrow has based the opening theme for 'Elizabeth R' closely on William Byrd's setting of Browning à 5 (listen to 0:20 to 0:33 of this theme, then to 1:38 to 1:50 of the Byrd below). Munrow's choice to make his own setting of Browning for the theme of 'Elizabeth R' surely nods towards a version of the song going around in Elizabeth's day with the lyrics, "The leaves be green, the leaves be green / God save Elizabeth our Queen".
