Glenn Close Reflects on Career and the Impact of 'Fatal Attraction'

The actress credits the 1987 thriller with showcasing her versatility and redefining her image in Hollywood.

Glenn Close identified 'Fatal Attraction' as the film that first highlighted her ability to portray a 'sexy' character, a departure from her earlier roles.
The 1987 psychological thriller, in which she starred opposite Michael Douglas, became the second-highest-grossing film of that year and earned six Academy Award nominations, including one for Close.
Close revealed that producers initially doubted her capability to lead an erotic thriller, but her performance proved pivotal in reshaping perceptions of her range as an actress.
Despite eight Academy Award nominations throughout her career, Close has yet to win an Oscar but remains focused on fulfilling work rather than accolades.
Close also reflected on her personal life, sharing that she has been happily single since her 2015 divorce and prefers to avoid dating apps or actively seeking relationships.
