Glenda May Jackson was an English actress and politician. Over the course of her distinguished career she received numerous accolades including two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and a Tony Award. Many leading British actors have mixed art and politics, but no great actor ever made such a decisive break from one to the other as Glenda Jackson, when she was elected Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate in 1992. She never had to prove a point about her politics: she was known for having concerns rather than ideas, and these were rooted in her background of working-class poverty, and her belief that the arts had both a higher purpose and a responsibility to educate and inform.In 1992 Jackson left acting to embark on a political career. That year she won a seat in the House of Commons as a Labour Party candidate. She later served as junior transport minister (1997–99). In 2000 she unsuccessfully ran for mayor of London, though she continued to serve in the House of Commons, winning reelection in 2001, 2005, and 2010. She did not run in 2015. Jackson resumed her acting career following a 25-year absence. In 2016 she notably starred in a West End production of King Lear. Her performance in the title role earned Jackson her fifth Laurence Olivier Award nomination. Jackson resumed her acting career following a 25-year absence.
