Following news of Jackson’s death at the age of 87, Oliver Parker remembers working with her in what would turn out to be the last months of her lifeMichael Caine and Glenda Jackson on the set of Jackson’s final film, The Great Escaper , which was kicking off a retrospective of her films. At this point I’d only met her a couple of times and had recently offered her the role of Rene Jordan in the filmAn elfin, slightly stooped, but stylish figure, she fielded questions from an awed audience.
“Formidable” is a word often applied to Glenda, but I discover she is so much else besides. She can be tender and playful, swear like a trooper and laugh like a drain. And when reunited with Michael Caine – it’s 45 years since they last met on the set of– there’s a hint of trepidation. But he’s gallant and charming, and she’s graceful and attentive. Mutual respect abounds.Our deeply gifted writer, Billy Ivory, has created two passionate questing souls.
As the first week and another emotional scene ended, the crew burst into spontaneous applause. I heard Glenda mutter, “Oh, don’t be so fucking patronising”. When I reassured her they were being anything but, she broke into a broad smile and thanked them warmly.Her scenes with Michael were mesmerising. Who knew an elderly couple pottering around a care home could be so exhilarating? So delicate, so poignant, so romantic. Sometimes her impact was shocking, breath-taking.
