JESSICA 6 - Jenny Agutter

JENNY AGUTTER starred as JESSICA 6, alongside MICHAEL YORK - as LOGAN 5 - in the 1976 Sci-Fi extravaganza ‘LOGAN’S RUN’. The futuristic film is set inside a giant domed city where the human population lives a carefree life culminating in their ‘rernewal’ at the age of 30 in the Carousel festival. Jessica convinces Logan to ‘run’ and not accept the Carousel Renewal process. The film is based on a novel by William F Nolan and John Clayton Johnson.

The somewhat camp aesthetic is seen as a great ‘time capsule’ of the 1970s, but in its day it was a serious, big budget science fiction film.

Both of the very attractive leads bring an innocence to their characters which inbues the film with a resonating charm.
