she's not, but Cate Blanchett is worlds above her as an actress ;)

Nice compilation, but it's true, Glenda Jackson won the Oscar in 1970 for "Women in Love" (among my all time favorite films), not Jennie Linden, the actress pictured here, who played her sister, Ursula.

You might not recognize the image b/c it's actually only a "Darling" publicity photo...not a still from the movie. The movie is in Black & White.

3:44 appears to be Julie Christie from the movie "Darling". (Best Actress 1965)- she's the one wearing all blue while standing near some railings. At 3:45, it is Elizabeth Taylor in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"
