Over four decades have passed during Glenn Close’s career. The well-known actor, who recently turned 76, proudly flaunted her bare face while assertively claiming that she still views the world “through the eyes of a 20-year-old.”. ”.
On March 18, the multi-award-winning actor celebrated her birthday, and as a thank you to her fans, she posted a video update to her Instagram. Glenn Close flaunts her bare, unprocessed beauty in the update while wearing her short, white hair undone.
The actor who played Cruella de Vil in the live-action Disney films 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians (1996 and 2000) updated fans on her health and recent activities while pointing out that the portrait in the background was the Elizabeth I painting on the sequel’s set.
After a busy schedule that included time spent alone after receiving a Covid diagnosis that prevented her from attending the 2023 Oscars, where she had intended to present an award with Harrison Ford, Close said she was relieved to be reunited with her dog.
In addition, the Back in Action star of Reversal of Fortune revealed she would soon join Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in the Netflix comedy-action film.
The actor for the stage and film was praised by admirers who also sent their best wishes and thanked her for serving as an inspiration.
One fan from Scotland writes: “Your work is amazing, and your posts are so inspiring. Your gift and talent in your trade are just mesmerizing, and I look forward to watching you in your upcoming efforts.”.
Another recalls the star’s prior theater stage performances before making the switch to film. The supporter continues, “We so enjoyed having YOUR extraordinary talent in the theater. Many thanks once more.
The talented performer made her Broadway debut as Anjelica in Love for Love in 1974. She created the delusional character of Norma Desmond in the Broadway adaptation of Sunset Boulevard in 1994; she later reprised the role in 2017.
She was discovered by George Roy Hill, the director of movies like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), The Sting (1973), and Slapshot (1977), to name a few, while she was appearing on Broadway. When Robin Williams, who was only four years her junior, was cast as the mother in The World According to Garp (1982), actress Joanne Hill was working on that film. For her performance, she received the first of eight Academy Award nominations, but she did not receive any wins.
For his subsequent performances in The Natural (1984) and The Big Chill (1983), Close received back-to-back nominations.
For her roles as the spiteful wife in Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons (her fourth and fifth nominations), Close has won three of each of the Tony Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards, and Golden Globes.
She received the sixth and seventh Academy Award nominations for her roles in Albert Noobs (2011) and The Wife (2017), both of which she co-starred in with her daughter-in-law and lookalike, Annie Starke, whose father is John Starke. Starke and Close dated from 1987 to 1991. She had already had three previous marriages.
35-year-old Annie appeared on screen with her mother in Father Figures, where she plays a younger version of the character Close played in The Wife.
Close is constantly praising her daughter’s beauty. During a Glamour interview, she stated, “Well, I’m a mother, so I’m most proud of my daughter.”. She is a wonderful person, and I am proud of her. She continued, “I’m glad she’s more fierce than I am. She is probably the person I consult the most when I want to know what she thinks about something because I know she will have a viewpoint I don’t, and I need that viewpoint.
They cherish one another.
On Close’s birthday, Annie shared a vintage photo of her mother with Michael Douglas and Eddie Murphy, writing, “Happy birthday, Queen!!! You’re a legend! We adore you.
Before the 91st Academy Awards, in January 2019, Annie shared a photo of the two. You deserve EVERY goddamn award there is, but especially THIS ONE, she proclaimed. Close received a nomination for The Wife. CONGRATULATIONS”.
That year, Close was defeated by Olivia Coleman’s performance in The Favourite.
The 2020 movie Hillbilly Elegy’s mother role earned the actress her ninth Oscar nomination.
Given that Close has been performing on stage or in movies for more than 40 years, it is not surprising that he appears older than when he played the enraged bunny boiler in 1987.
Even though she admits that it might be difficult to avoid falling prey to Hollywood’s beauty game, she says, “I’ve always felt that my body is not really who I am.”. If you’ll excuse me, the house we live in doesn’t accurately represent you. I’ve thought about it because, despite being 75 years old, I still feel like I have the energy of a person in their twenties. And that is how I am.
But in the morning, in a certain light, I look down at my arm and exclaim, “Ah, are you serious? This is whose arm it is.”. Okay, I see; it says it’s happening; are you sure? She declares every day her resolve to find beauty in everything, including her aging skin: “I’m trying to get to the point where I accept my—what do they call it? spooky skin.
I think it might resemble the sand after the tide has gone out, but does it have any beauty to it? We’ve been so brainwashed about skin, especially women’s skin. Others who are struggling to regain a waist contrast with the texture of your skin and your warm, hard, smooth bodies. It fascinates me because as our house ages, we should become more ecstatic and passionate. But you still keep up this front.
In addition to appearing in blockbuster movies, Close keeps pushing herself. She dons a habib and speaks fluent Farsi for the first time in her career for her role in Tehran, the critically acclaimed Apple+ thriller’s second season.
I spent about two months studying, she said. There are three classes I have each day. I proclaimed to everyone, “I want to speak Farsi that will surprise speakers of Farsi.”. So we put a lot of work into it.
Even though she terrified a nation of animal lovers in her performance as Cruella de Vil, it’s hard not to adore and appreciate Glenn Close!
We think she should have won at least two Oscars. What do you think of Close’s acting, her appearance, and her?
