Glenn Close
FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
An American, Close was raised primarily in Switzerland and Africa, travelling with her doctor father, and she didn't take up acting until the 1970s, when she shone in various Broadway productions. She didn't make her big-screen debut until she landed an important role in George Roy Hill's successful The World According to Garp, but she immediately shot to stardom, receiving an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress in her first appearance. She followed that up with two additional nominations in the same category the subsequent years (with The Big Chill and The Natural), but despite several more Oscar nominations after that, she is yet to win an Oscar in her illustrious career. Throughout her career, Glenn Close has demonstrated her versatility and ability to choose challenging roles for herself. Perhaps best known for her "bitch roles", such as Alex in Fatal Attraction, Marquise de Merteul in Dangerous Liaisons and the role of Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians, Close also has a more gentle side, which she has proven in a handful of deeply expressive emotional roles.
