A wonderful lady, I would imagine a very deep and intelligent person and genuinely gentle. I think most men my age fell in love with her as boys back in the late sixties and early seventies.
I agree Ian, very well spoken and very respectful of other people in her craft. I think for me there was a "stirring" in 1984 when I first watched her performance as Nurse Price in that iconic 1981 horror and then about 1988, whilst in my early teens, I first stumbled on the work of Nicolas Roeg and watched her in Walkabout that I realized Jenny was not only a beautiful actress but also a fantastic actress.
I was thinking the same thing when he mentioned that he has to do his own stunts too. Tragically died two years after this when he fell from a horse, breaking his pelvis and succumbing the next day.
Like many young guys at the time I had the most fantastic crush on Jenny. And just a couple of weeks after this was first shown I met a girl who was the absolute spitting image of her though a few years younger. We've been together ever since....lucky me! So much was she her spitting image that in the summer of 1987 we went on holiday to Corfu and the barman at our beach resort wouldn't believe she wasn't Jenny; he'd seen her in American Werewolf. So as she was Jenny he refused to accept payment for our drinks and we had a nice, cheap holiday! Does he still have the "Love from Jenny" signed photo, I wonder?
Great piece of footage with Jenny here. But sad that Roy Kinnear was talking about stuntmen and when he appeared in a Spanish film they refused a stuntman (for reasons of cost) and he fell from the horse and ............. All very sad. RIP Roy, a great in comedy actor
Harsh irony is that the large actor to Agutter's side who "knew no stuntman who could play him" died from doing his own stunt just a couple of years after this interview
That comic has that irritating disease a lot of comics have: continually interrupting conversations to somehow make everything about them/don't know when to be quiet. His constant interjections were infuriating.
At that time there was an annoying trend for guests to be interviewed one after the other, but to be asked to remain when their session was over. It must have been more infuriating to just be sitting there, wanting to contribute as you would in a normal social gathering. Instead, despite being famous (as Roy Kimmear was) you are suddenly the gooseberry. It must have been infuriating. The were several TV interviewers who carried out this practice. I can forgive Roy Kinnear; he was not hogging screen time, he was joining in polite conversation. Why else was he there, he was a guest on a show, not a gooseberry in a punnet. What angered me more, though, was the fact that Jenny Agutter had to walk past Roy Kinnear in order to greet Michael Appel, the interviewer. Kinnear had stood (good manners) and extended his hand (good manners) and Jenny walked past him leaving him with his hand extended. Refusing a handshake is ill-mannered. I accept it wasn’t Jenny’s fault, she entered the stage from behind a partition wall and probably only had her eyes on Aspel, who was the interviewer. This was a huge social gaffe which is entirely the fault of the stage manager. Reallly inexcusable.
Is it just me or is Jenny one of the most beautiful women to look at and listen too on the planet . 😍
No, I think you'll find there is a 'Club' with a plethora of members ;)
@@majordolbyscat I hope you're including agnetha faltskog 😁
But of course. 😁
@@majordolbyscat well of course there are many , but Jenny agutter is my " desert island beauty" .
Her voice, her accent!
When i see her in a movie ...its always a comforting feeling that the movie has quality

That was great, I'm mesmerized, by the lovely Jenny and haunted by the prescience of poor Roy's' words. His son is remarkable. I loved this thanks.

Great interview, Jenny is so lovely
Soooooo beautiful. You can't take your eyes off of her. ❤️
I could listen to her read tax law
Roy the man! What a lovely natural funny man ! RIP xxx
Still very much missed
She is so beautiful love her 😍
By the Lord Harry! Absolutely gorgeous!

Lucky, lucky you indeed! I expect he would still have that photo, but please don't burst his bubble ;)
this woman is still good looking
Indeed, the lovely Jenny.
Aspel & Company - Jenny Agutter Interview (1986)
Great piece of footage with Jenny here. But sad that Roy Kinnear was talking about stuntmen and when he appeared in a Spanish film they refused a stuntman (for reasons of cost) and he fell from the horse and .............
All very sad. RIP Roy, a great in comedy actor
Totally agree, tinged with a sad irony. Lovely interview from the both of them though.
Harsh irony is that the large actor to Agutter's side who "knew no stuntman who could play him" died from doing his own stunt just a couple of years after this interview
I know right, tragic how events played out for Roy.
She is just something else.

Absolute babe
Oh very much so.
At 2mins.20seconds, Michael Aspel looks like he is totally entranced by Jenny. But what red-blooded male wouldn't be?
I regret dumping her now.😊
If what you say is true, and I mean this will all due respect, but you were a fool. How could this be?!
He is probably just lying or it’s his sad attempt as a joke
"The electrics are... probably dangerous, yes." lol what a dear.

It’s always funny how actors pretend to be doing their own stunts

A the end of the day, light entertainment will be what it is intended to be, light entertainment.

Jenny was born a boy
Okay then
No...she is an actual woman and has been that way since birth.
I know that frightens you.
