- Glenn Close told followers in an Instagram video that she underwent a complete hip replacement and that is why she has been using a cane.
- She said her left hip “was in really bad shape,” that she is recuperating now, and that she feels great as she thanks supporters.
- Close did not give the date of the surgery and used a light, candid tone in the clip, including a brief joke about a small forehead patch she called a “frownie.”
- She said she hopes to travel on October 26 to attend The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping premiere in London and then return to New York for the All’s Fair season-two premiere.
- The update drew broad support from fans and fellow celebrities and renewed attention because Close, 79, has major promotional commitments tied to several high-profile film and TV projects.
