Glenda Jackson: la actriz sobrevalorada Yes, it has a significant presence. And a single voice. His eyes are intense. Is clearly a character actress.
And in general, their roles have been imbued with these doses of tenacity, strong woman, with personality.
But when I speak of "overrated", I mean the excessive appreciation that has taken this as a British actress prizes.
recently saw two films that earned him Oscar category awards for Best Actress in 1971 and 1974 deliveries.
On the one hand,
Women in Love, directed by
formidably Ken Russell (Tommy
), a film definitely "advanced" for the time. However, the leading quartet, hardly excel Jackson, and is certainly overshadowed by a very young and few times more light, actress Jennie Linden
. Jackson is almost secondary, and really excels en ningún momento. Su actuación es medida y correcta, no más.
Si vamos a las comparaciones (sí, son útiles en cuanto a “premios” refieren), Glenda competía con
Sarah Miles por
La hija de Ryan ,
Ali MacGraw por
Love Story y
Jane Alexander por La gran esperanza blanca. Injusto.
Pero aún considero menos justificado su lauro a mejor Actriz por un rol mediocre en una comedia idem, que en su momento hizo mucho ruido, y que al verla hoy (sí, tal vez el paso de las décadas no ayuda) genera un mal sabor al espectador. Me refiero a
Un toque de distinción , dirigida por
Melvin Frank and co-starring George Segal
unbearable . Here
Jackson leveled his partner in a "duel" typical war of opposite sexes and faced quite poor, attending to cries and grimaces that are worthwhile.
For these injustices of the awards, once again, racing for example Glenda
by Ellen Burstyn The Exorcist
, Joanne Woodward
for Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams and Barbra Streisand
by
Way We Were .
As a curiosity, I must say that neither of the two times he was to receive the Oscar. At the same rebellious attitude against the current
Katharine Hepburn also won the award four times greater, and once with some injustice (because
know who's coming to dinner? not deserve it.)
I stay, better, with his other two jobs Oscar nominees, for those who did not win: Sunday bloody Sunday
of John Schlesinger
and Hedda
on the legendary heroine of the drama Gabler.
