Glenda Jackson – 85, Birkenhead
Actors are well-liked, but it takes a rare talent to make it all the way to Parliament. Glenda Jackson decided to become a politician after winning two Academy Awards for Best Actress. Surprise, surprise, she was terrific at it! Between 1992 and 2015, she represented Hampstead and Kilburn in Parliament, and she even became Britain’s first Under-Secretary of State for Transport, working under former Prime Minister Tony Blair. Jackson has opted to return to the studio after leaving politics, and he just starred in the 2021 drama Mothering Sunday, starring the famous Olivia Colman and Colin Firth.
