Jackson's agent Lionel Larner said she died Thursday at her home in London after a short illness. He said she had recently completed filming “‘The Great Escaper,” in which she co-starred with 90-year-old Michael Caine. Caine said Jackson was “one of our greatest movie actresses. I shall miss her." Born into a working-class family in Birkhenhead, northwest England, in 1936 Jackson trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. She performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company — where she starred in the cutting-edge drama “Marat/Sade” directed by Peter Brook — and became one of the biggest British stars of the 1960s and 70s, winning two Academy Awards, for the brooding D.H. Lawrence adaptation "Women in Love” in 1971 and the sophisticated romcom “A Touch of Class" in 1974. She was Oscar-nominated, too, for 1971 film “Sunday, Bloody Sunday,” and had memorable roles in “The Music Lovers,” Ken Russell's avant-garde 1970 film about the composer Tchaikovsky, and gentle romance “Turtle Diary” in 1985.
