Iain Fisher:
Glenda has just won a British BAFTA award (the British Oscars) for best actress. This goes alongside her two Oscars (one for Ken's Women in Love), a Tony Award and another BAFTA (from 1972).
Because of Corona all the nominees had to record an acceptance speech in advance, before knowing whether they had won. Glenda is such a good actress her recorded speech made it sound like she had just heard she had won and was surprised.

Others in the series are Judi Dench, Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Albert Finney, John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson.
--- End quote ---
It is nice to be honored. More so while one is still living, so one can appreciate it more. Of the people to be shown on the stamps: Dench, Finney, Jackson, and Smith are still with us, while Gielgud, Olivier, and Richardson are no longer with us.
