Her own father (Sir Michael) accepted a knighthood and an OBE so she was surely used to being around titles at home. Perhaps having reached her eighties has modified her views anyway. Interesting you should mention Glenda Jackson since she's also in that old film "Mary, Queen of Scots" as Elizabeth I.
Glenda reprising the role she had already made famous in the BBC TV series "Elizabeth R".
Talk of Vanessa always brings to mind what Laurence Olivier, who was a close friend of her father, did when she was born. When he heard the news he interrupted the play he was appearing in and said to the audience, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make. Today, a great actress has been born!"
How prescient was that?
