Glenda Jackson on "King Lear"

"King Lear" is considered one of the most daunting roles an actor can take on, but Oscar-winning actor Glenda Jackson likes a challenge. She is taking on the title role on Broadway, having already played Lear to rave reviews in London, and joins the program in between her 8 performances a week to discuss the play and politics.
