Glenn Close Breaks Down Her Career, from 'Fatal Attraction' to '101 Dalmatians' | Vanity Fair 

Her in 101 Dalmatians is an example of Disney doing a live action remake correctly

The list of Glenn Close's works in films is a strong proof that Oscar has never been the measure of real talent.

She did such a beautiful job with Cruella. As a child, I couldn’t tell the difference between her and the cartoon. I never thought she was an actress playing a role. I thought, “Oh my God, that IS Cruella! She actually exists!” Thank you for the memories.

Can we have like, 3 hours of Glenn speaking of her career? Virtually every role deserved an Oscar

What a career she has had. Her portrayal of Cruella deVil will always be a favourite of mine. Emma Stone really has some big shoes to fill. Her performance in Fatal Attraction was just superb that line “I’m not going to be ignored, Dan!!!” The way she said it was incredible.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Behold The DEFINITION of.... " AN ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER". Give this woman her flowers!!!

All these little children crying about giving DiCaprio an Oscar, meanwhile people like Glenn Close and Willem Dafoe don’t have one

1st of All.. She SHOULD HAVE WON the Oscar for Fatal Attraction, She was SOOO ROBBED!!!! 2nd .. her Role as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard on Broadway was a MASTERPIECE!!!!!! xoxoxo

I love how she defended Alex Forrester. Way before it was cool, she acknowledged how it was important to understand mental illness and not vilify people who suffer.

It was absolutely riveting to hear her interpretation of her character in Fatal Attraction. I saw her passion about her character and also her understanding of how awful circumstances on an individual can shape the choices that they make in their life.

SHE REALLY IS A LEGEND, SHE SHOULD HAVE WON OSCARS FOR FATAL ATTRACTION, DANGEROUS LIASSONS, ALBERT NOBBS, THE WIFE AND NEXT YEAR FOR HILLBILLY WITH AMY ADAMS

I love when actors tell stories about other actors or uplift professionals in the industry like Glenn does here, she gives praises to costume makers, to hairdressers, she speaks highly of Christopher Reeves, it is a beautiful thing to see how much love one can give to others with just words. I loved this interview.

"I'm not gonna be IGNORED, Oscar!" - Most nominated actress / living actor without winning an Oscar...yet!

The way she talks about many of her roles just get me to tears (again and again) throughout this video. It really sounds like she's proud of each of her characters and truly empatize with them. Now I need to binge watch her career!

She is also a powerhouse in the Shield. Her character Monica Rawlings feels so real and lived in. I recently rewatched it, and (spoiler alert!): Her stunned, desperate plea when she realizes she’s going to be fired as a scapegoat for the seizures, when she says she, ‘No one fought for me?!?’ but almost whispers it because of how much it hurts her has always broken my heart. She was a great captain and she deserved to have people fight for her.

How can a villian be this beautiful

This woman is tragically under-known, under-rated, and under-awarded. I love her in everything she does and if she doesn't get an academy award for her role in Hillbilly Elegy then there is NO JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD.

Glenn Close in Dangerous Liaisons - maybe the best performance I've ever seen.

Great to see her tackling on her career with such a wisdom and sense of humor. I hope to see Anjelica Huston in a next video.

I feel like Glenn should have 5 Oscars by now. She's royalty.

One of the best actresses we’ve ever had. Glenn is truly remarkable.

Jesus christ this woman should have won Oscars for Fatal Attraction and Albert Nobbs. Hope she wins this year just for being robbed for all those years.

Albert Nobbs is one of the hidden gems of cinematography... Very difficult to watch, but so briliant...

Finding out that Joanna Lumley was an inspiration for Glenn Close when she was creating Cruella made me happy.

What I love so much about Glenn is not only is she so skilled and incredible in her crafts, but she has so much love, appreciation and praise for the people she works with 💛

I was blown away by her performance in Hilbilly Elegy, I really hope she wins an Oscar for it, it's long overdue.

She mentioned Mars Attacks! SHE MENTIONED MARS ATTACKS!! I love that film so much.

The RANGE. And a lifelong human rights activist. Truly an amazing woman 👏🏼

She was also great in "The House of the spirits", "Mary Reilly", "Cookie's Fortune" and "Paradise Road". Oh Gosh, She's always GREAT.

She clutched my heart when she became emotional over Christopher Reeve.

She and Amy Adams need their Oscars in 2021. Viola Davis might be the big competition though.

She said what I was thinking after watching Fatal Attraction. She is not a villain, she’s the victim of the patriarchal system! She was damaged by her father and she looked for affection only, it was never her purposely hurting the family. To this day because of this character this is my favorite movie.

Glenn Close impersonating Katharine Hepburn is my spirit animal.

Glenn Close is a treasure.

I fell in love with Glenn Close after seeing Dangerous Liaisons( I must have seen it at least 400 times), then watched every movie that I could find that she was in.

I LOVE that she classifies Cruella as a witch! She got that archetype and delievered in spades!

An amazing career. 8 Oscar nominations and NO win is scandalous. 😡 seeing her live in Sunset Boulevard was a wonderful experience.

The first time I’ve seen Glenn close was when I watched “The House of Spirits” and she was just mesmerizing. Such good acting, she brought me to tears. And I’m not crying so easily. I love her so so much❤️

I have never heard an interview of Glenn Close, which now that I think about it is incredible.... Yes, I've loved her acting and her roles, but O.M.G. I LOVE HER as a person. She seems like my long lost friend. So genuine and humble and kind! WOW!

Glenn Close should have won an Oscar for The Wife. It was one of the most powerful performances I have seen.

I'm so happy she loved being in Mars Attacks!!! I love the movie, it traumatized me as a kid, which is high praise. It seemed like a fun movie to be a part of, and I loved that she loved it too. Also her talking about Christopher reeves made me choke up a bit

She based Cruella’s speech on Patsy Stone. Omg I’m dead. If Patsy was Cruella, I believe she would’ve gotten her puppy coat.

The way she talks about Guardians of the Galaxy and compares it with a children's game, that emotion is how you know she loves to perform, demonstrates that superhero movies require a demanding acting exercise. It's not about what kind of movie you're involved in; it's about enjoying it as a play! (In your face, Martin Scorsese)

queen should have won an oscar by now!!

You forgot "The House of Spirits". Wonderful movie and wonderful performance of She.

Her performance as cruella was genuinely terrifying I was terrified of her but that shows how incredible an actress she is and I loved her cameo in Hook too

I absolutely LOVE Glenn. She's one of my favorite actresses ever. I loved as Cruella and of course Fatal Attraction, Damages, and The Wife.

9:08 That Glenn Close has seen Absolutely Fabulous makes me so happy

Glenn Close is the absolute bomb. I will watch anything if she's in it.

And one of my favorites -- Jagged Edge with Jeff Bridges. Glenn is one of our greatest actors ... ever.

The Marquise de Merteuil is one of my all time favorite villains, so iconic.

Reversal of Fortune is missing. Love that film!

She played Cruella that terrified me when I was little. Somehow that makes me love her even more now.

One of my FAVORITE actresses!!!! Love Glenn! Alfred Nobbs made her nearly unrecognizable in the best way. One of the best films to see her range. Hillbilly Elegy is another great role of hers. Wow. Just wow.

Cruella De Vil was my favorite role she did, though I'm surprised she didn't mention being the voice of Kala in Disney's Tarzan (his gorilla mother) :o

I'm Not Gonna Be Ignored, Dan

There should be an Oscar for great spirit, personality & character ❤ what a woman.

Wow she's obviously made amazing contributions to women in her films her roles are very diverse but she always plays strong female leads! The power she has! This woman deserves an oscar asap!

No one will ever beat her cruella

She *absolutely* should have gotten an Academy Award for Best Actress in Fatal Attraction.

I wish you included Stepford Wives on this video, i love that movie and her character is so funny lmao

She didn't comment about The House of Spirits , I adore this movie actually I love everything that Glenn does 😘❤️💞

Glenn is one of those actors that can morph in her characters to a point she become the character. Its so good to see that she is not affraid to be more or less elegant if the character demands.

Hillbilly Elegy was an amazing movie. Such a great actress ❤

Love her in 101 Dalmatians her shoes, dress, gloves she had some BAD OUTFIT.❤❤❤❤

Damages is one of my favorite shows. She and Rose Byrne, what fantastic chemistry. I think it's an underrated show. It was on Netflix for a while, if they put it back on, I'd rewatch the show.

Hope she got a nomination for Hillbilly elegy! She should win for that performance! She should've won at least 3 Oscars by now.....

Jungle Book & 101 Dalmatians were the very first remakes, sadly completely both forgotten now, cuz nahh it doesn't belong to 2010+ and its not a fairytale movie etc. However, out of all remakes, her role as Cruella is the best live action portrayal to this date. She completely upgraded the character to the whole new level + she really deserved an Oscar for that role.

I could listen to her talk for hours. Love her 🥰

Glenn Close is such a phenomenal actress, it's such a shame that she doesn't have an Oscar. With all of the amazing characters that she's done, she should have many awards.

I'm an example of a kid who knows her for 101 Dalmatians lol She'll always be Cruella to me, even though I now know other movies she was in.

Love this woman! So many magnificent performances.

Wow! Glenn Close. Such talent. Always an admirer!

I love everything Ms. Close does ... she is truly one of our best actors of this generation!

I have been on my soapbox about Glenn Close for literally decades. I don't know why the Academy overlooks her time and time again. They always seem to determine that the performance of another actress was better than hers. With all due respect to Cher, Glenn should have won the Oscar way back in 1987 for *Fatal Attraction* . I have been outraged about that ever since. Olivia Colman turned in a wonderful performance in *The Favourite* but was it really better than Glenn in *The Wife?* And now here we are in 2021. I recently read some Oscar previews where someone predicted that Glenn would win the SAG for Hillbilly Elegy but she wouldn't win the Oscar. They said "Glenn will surely win *one day* but this isn't her year." One day? Are you kidding me? How old will Glenn have to be? She just turned 74 years old this month for crying out loud. When will this wonderful and iconic actress finally get the recognition she deserves? For the love of God...let it be this year.

My nickname as a child was Cruella, I lived and breathed the live action of 101 Dalmatians. I love it and it gave me my love for Dalmatian print. My favourite film still to this day.

I stopped watching the Academy Awards after Ms. Close lost best actress for Dangerous Liaisons. Her acting in that film was magnificent. I will never forget that ending shot of her wiping the makeup off her face as she stares into the mirror.

Really appreciate the fact that some more recent editions in this series don't seem to have that kind of very intrusive background music comoeting with the actor's voice? It's difficult to listen through, particularly for us more neurodivergent folks...

She’s an icon! Give this woman an Oscar already

What a wonderful person to listen to! Watching this I realise I remember how I was myself the first time I saw her films. Like good songs a good film hold personal emotional memories: The Big Chill [seen on the telly] first when I was a teenager, second this year much older now than the characters, Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liasons, 101 Dalmations, Jagged Edge [not mentioned here], Airforce One, The Wife. Wonderful, wonderful.

I just love and admire this woman.

She is literally adorable - she will forever be an icon

I also loved her in The Lion in Winter, her acting was just amazing!!!!

I liked Ms. Close's character of "Mrs. Wellington" in the "Stepford Wives" comedic version!

They should’ve included her role with Jeff Bridges in 1985’s Jagged Edge. She was fantastic in that.

Glenn is underrated in my opinion. She puts so much effort into the art of transforming into a different person for film and stage. She can be dainty or frightening. She can posh or disheveled. She’s in my childhood forever and she’s right up there with Meryl Streep, Bette Midler, and Patti LuPone in terms of star power.

I really love that she knows all the people behind her entire career and who to thank to by mentioning it❤️

I love Glenn but I'm crushed they didn't include the Lion in Winter. It's my fav performance of hers 😭

I wish she had talked about SARAH, PLAIN AND TALL. She was so compelling in that part, and her chemistry with Christopher Walken was electric.

I notice how Glenn Close is so complementary of others. She seems such a genuine and caring person.

She was great in hillbilly Elegy. I hope she gets the nomination for oscars

I love that Glenn gave us a talk on all the films listed above. Great job.

She is a legend, the best actress of the last 40 years together with Meryl Streep. This career timeline, anyway, isn't complete: Jagged Edge (1985), Reversal of Fortune (1990), Cookie's Fortune (1999), The Lion in Winter (2003), The Stepford Wives (2004) and, most of all the musical Sunset Boulevard (1993-1994 and 2016-2017) are all wonderful performances in different genres and media (cinema, tv, theater). She should have one three Oscars by now: for Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liasons and The Wife.

My first introduction to Glenn Close was as Cruella in 101 Dalmatians. She was so captivating yet scary as well. Absolutely mesmerizing performance

The World According To Garp is not just one of my favorite books, it is my absolute favorite film of all time. It’s a travesty that it’s so unknown. It’s simply perfect, a perfect film. If you get the chance to check it out, you won’t be disappointed. It’s simply incredible, original and one of a kind.

This woman is a delight . I never watch all through any of these actor career breakdowns. But i watched every minute of this. She's brilliant. And clearly proud of her career

She is the best actress of all time ❤️

Incredible ! I could watch a much longer version of it. She is fascinating.

what a joy to watch glenn acting! 2 of her movies are some of my all-time favorite: dangerous liaisons & reversal of fortune.

I wish more people were aware of The World According to Garp. Loved the book and the movie. Glenn Close is phenomenal and Robin Williams, John Lithgow, and the rest of the cast are superb.
