Oscar winning actress and former MP Glenda Jackson left a £1m fortune when she died aged 87.
Jackson won two Oscars, three Emmys, two Baftas in an acting career spanning six decades.
She passed away in June last year at her home in London surrounded by her family after suffering a short illness.
It has now emerged her estate in the UK had a gross value of £1,078,992 with a net value of £988,922.
Her will, signed in September 2009, gifted her fortune to her son Daniel Hodges.
Jackson began acting after joining an amateur dramatics group near her hometown of Birkenhead in Merseyside.
She won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (Rada) in London and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in 1963.
After making her name on stage, she won her first Oscar for playing a headstrong artist in Ken Russell’s film of DH Lawrence’s novel, Women in Love.
Her second Academy Award came three years later for A Touch of Class, a romantic comedy in which she played a fashion designer caught up in a catastrophic love affair with a US businessman.
She did not attend either ceremony and said she was too busy.
Jackson gave up acting to join the House of Commons as a Labour MP in north London from 1992 to 2015.
That included two years as a junior transport minister in Tony Blair’s New Labour government from 1997.
She later returned to acting, playing King Lear on stage in 2016 and then won a Bafta for her screen comeback in the TV drama, Elizabeth Is Missing, in 2020.
Announcing her death, agent Lionel Larner said: “Glenda Jackson, two-time Academy Award-winning actress and politician, died peacefully at her home in Blackheath, London, this morning after a brief illness with her family at her side.
“She recently completed filming The Great Escaper in which she co-starred with Michael Caine.”
Tributes flooded in for Jackson from the worlds of showbusiness and politics.
Then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said it was ‘extremely sad news’.
TV presenter Carol Vorderman added: “To see this unique woman turn into a firebrand in politics was deeply impressive for young girls like me. May she rest in peace.”
