I'd gotten so accustomed to seeing her as an MP, I'd forgotten how incomparably gorgeous she was. Fifty years ago, after having seen her performance as Elizabeth R on PBS, I wrote her a gushingly sycophantic fan letter, found her address somewhere in the library and sent it off. Much to my surprise, she replied. What a thrill. It's one of the enduring tragedies of my life to have lost her letter. Goodbye, Glenda. You were a wonderful woman, a brilliant artist and brave champion of justice and freedom. Thank you.

Dame Glenda had the ability to tackle anything she'd handle in life. I was just a toddler when she won "Women in Love"; she is the last of the surviving acting Oscar winners from 1970 to pass yesterday (06/15/2023). My sympathies to her son upon her passing and other family members. She will be missed. R. I. P. Dame Glenda.
