Glenn Close

From the predatory Alex Forrest of Fatal Attraction to the manipulative Marquise de Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons or the iconic Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians – not forgetting the ambitious lawyer Patty Hewes of the TV drama Damages – Glenn Close has enjoyed her share of complex parts, for which she has already earned three Golden Globes. This year the actress is up for her fourth nomination for her performance in Hillbilly Elegy.

Glenn Close plays the grandmother in Hillbilly Elegy directed by Ron Howard from a true story. When the HFPA interviewed her in 1985, the actress spoke about her early film roles, and how they reflected the dilemmas of modern women.

In a prolific film career that started in 1982 with The World According to Garp, 71-year-old Glenn Close has played dozens of iconic parts. Who can forget her performances in movies like The Big Chill, The Natural, Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisons, Jagged Edge, 101 Dalmatians, Mars Attack, Albert Nobbs… And now with The Wife, she is once again proving her astonishing versatility.

The Wife is a timely film about a woman coming into her own power. After 40 years of marriage, Joan and Joe Castleman (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) seem the perfect complement as a couple.
