Jenny Agutter

The family lives in Cornwall, UK. After her retirement she settled in Vevey, Switzerland where she died after several years of poor health. The couple have one son, Jonathan. Baclanova worked extensively on stage in London's West End and in New York, for about ten years from the mid 1930s. Agutter is married to Johan Tham, a Swedish hotelier. It did not revive her film career which ended in 1943. Since 2002, Agutter has been featured in the British television series Spooks. The film was highly controversial and only screened briefly, and it would be thirty years before it achieved a following as a cult film.

In 2000, she made her third appearance in a production of The Railway Children, this time playing the role of the mother. Her career was in decline when she was offered the role of the cruel circus performer Cleopatra in the 1932 film Freaks. She has appeared in the TV series TECX, The All New Alexei Sayle Show, and And the Beat Goes On. She no longer secured leading roles, and was relegated to supporting roles. In the last decade, Agutter has mainly worked in television. The introduction of talking films proved difficult for her, as audiences did not respond to her heavy Russian accent. Agutter appeared in a number of films over the next decade, including: The Snow Goose (1971), The Eagle Has Landed (1976), Logan's Run (1976), Equus (1977), Sweet William (1980), and An American Werewolf in London (1981). A statuesque blonde, Baclanova quickly established herself as a popular actress in American silent movies and achieved a notable success with The Docks of New York (1928).

The film's theme of the transition from childhood to adulthood mirrored Agutter's life and career at the time. During a 1925 performance in New York she defected and decided to follow a life and career in the USA. Agutter began a transition to adult roles in Walkabout (1971), playing a teenaged schoolgirl who was lost in the Australian outback with her younger brother. Over the next decade she appeared in Russian films, and also performed extensively on stage, touring and performing in many countries of the world. Her quality of ingenuousness led on to a more serious role in I Start Counting (1969). Baclonova studied drama at the Cherniavsky Institute in Russia before being accepted into the prestigious Moscow Art Theatre in 1912. She first came to the attention of television audiences as Roberta in a BBC dramatisation of The Railway Children, and went on to play the same part in Lionel Jeffries' 1970 film of the book. Born in Moscow, Russia, Baclanova was the daughter of Vladimir Baklonoff and his wife Alexandra, herself an actress in early Russian films.

Her first film appearance was in East of Sudan (1964). Olga Vladimirovna Baklanova (August 19, 1896 – September 6, 1974) was a Russian actress. The daughter of a British Army officer, she travelled the world as a child. Jennifer Ann Agutter was born in Taunton, Somerset. Jenny Agutter (born December 20, 1952) is an English actress.
