RIP. Her greatest performance has to have been Cleopatra with Eric and Ernie.

RIP Dame Glenda.. she was superb in A Touch Of Class.
But her best performance??
Got to be done hasn't it?

Elizabeth is Missing is one of the best standalone British dramas of the last decade. Really sad news.

Really sad.
RIP Glenda.

The film Women in Love was ground breaking as it touched subjects previously untouched by the film industry. Her Oscar winning performance was much deserved.

 

[Blf]

Really sad. Her Cleo with Eric and Ernie was superb.
As a young man I found her incredibly attractive as well.

Fantastic actress(yes I know they are all called actors now). Also decent MP and came across as a really decent person with a good sense of humour.

Genuinely great on screen, an outspoken woman in politics. Will be missed. RIP

 

[Maccarone]

So many people of my youth passing away, circle of life I know but very sad.. .

 

[Ziggy]

Genuinely great on screen, an outspoken woman in politics. Will be missed. RIP

All those things. She was defiantly her own person in politics, refused to toe the party line, which ended her chance of a ministerial career. The Thatcher tributes in house when everyone, including Labour, were oozing sanctimonious BS.She stood up and told exactly what Thatcher was. She was asked when she wrote or decided what she would say. She improvised the whole thing on the spot…but you can see what years of being one of the great actors can bring. Also a bit of Bercow at the end.

Brilliant speech sadly things are as bad under this shower of sh1te we have now. John Bercow was a great speaker. IMO.
