Glenda Jackson studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was with the Royal Shakespeare Company for four years. Jack Robinson photographed Jackson on January 16, 1971 for a 'People Are Talking About…' feature of Vogue and soon after, she would win her first Academy Award as Best Actress for her performance in Ken Russell’s Women in Love (1969). Directly following that role, she reunited with Ken Russell to star in The Music Lovers (1970) opposite Richard Chamberlain. Jackson was described in Vogue as 'the British actress who plays unadmirable women to admiration, with a steamy swamp of a voice and a deep, rapidly accelerating laugh.' At the time of this session, her bangs had been trimmed back for her role as Queen Elizabeth I in the BBC serial Elizabeth R (1971).
Born in 1928, Jack Robinson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, attended Tulane University, and pursued photography as a hobby in New Orleans. His early street portraits captured New Orleans' rich culture.
In 1955, he moved to New York, becoming a renowned freelance fashion photographer, even gracing the cover of Life Magazine within four years. In 1965, he joined Vogue Magazine and impressed Diana Vreeland with his portrait work. Jack completed numerous assignments for Vogue over seven years. In 1972, he returned to Memphis to care for his parents, ending his photography career. Later, he excelled in stained glass design.
When he passed away from cancer in 1997, his extensive photographic legacy was discovered, leading to The Jack Robinson Archive and The Robinson Gallery, fulfilling his posthumous wish to preserve his work.
