In 1976 she also starred alongside Richard Chamberlain in the television production of The Man In The Iron Mask and The Eagle Has Landed with Michael Caine and Donald Sutherland. In 1977 she play Jill Mason in Peter Shaffer's Equus with Richard Burton.

In 1981 Jenny played Desdemona opposite William Marshall in Othello. Other Shakespeare performances include King Lear; Love's Labour Lost as Rosaline for the BBC and Romeo and Juliet as Lady Capulet in 1994. During the 80's Jenny continued to make numerous films and television series including Sweet William and the TV mini series "Beulah Land" (1980); The Survivor; Amy and An American Werewolf in London (1981); This Office Life and Secret Places (1984); Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe (1985); Dark Tower (1987); Miss Right (1988) and King of the Wind (1989). In the 90's Jenny has concentrated on mainly television with roles in TECX; Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less; The All New Alexei Sayle Show; The Buccaneers with Sean Pertwee, Ewan McGregor and Catherine Zeta-Jones; And the Beat Goes On; September with Edward Fox, Michael York, Virginia McKenna and Jacqueline Bisset; A Respectable Trade with Warren Clarke, Anna Massey and Richard Briers. Films during this period included Child's Play 2; Darkman with Liam Neeson; and Blue Juice. Jenny's most recent television appearance was in 1998 as Mrs Bruce in two feature length episodes of the popular ITV series Bramwell in which she appeared with Jemma Redgrave. She has also made several guest appearances in TV shows The Red Dwarf; Boon; The Equalizer with Edward Woodward; The Twilight Zone; Magnum P.I. and The Six Million Dollar Man. Jenny is married to Johan Tham, who she married in the late 1980's. They have one son Jonathan, born in 1990, and live in Cornwall, England, UK. Her particular love is charity work for The Diabetic Association and NCH Action for Children - a charity which provides home and other help for homeless children - a charity she has been involved with for 5 years. Jenny played Mrs Darling in The National Theatre Company production of Peter Pan in December 1998.

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Perenially cast in roles that exploit her understated sensuality, the wholesomely pretty Agutter began her film career at age 12 in East of Sudan (1964). Trained as a ballet dancer, she appeared in several inconsequential British productions before making her Hollywood debut in Star! (1968). Agutter was not yet 20 when she starred in Nicolas Roeg's controversial Walkabout (1971), playing a teenaged girl stranded in the Australian outback with an Aboriginal boy. Despite having won critical acclaim for her performance, Agutter didn't appear in significant mainstream films until resurfacing in Logan's Run (1976) and The Eagle Has Landed (1977). She was widely feted for her performance in Equus (1977), but her subsequent movie work has been sporadic.
