Glenn Close Reflects on Best Onscreen Kiss
On a recent episode of "Watch What Happens Live," Glenn Close recounted her fondest onscreen kiss while chatting with host Andy Cohen. The acclaimed 77-year-old actress named her moment with Robert Redford in the 1984 film "The Natural" as her favorite, although she humorously lamented, "I only got to kiss him once," later conceding, "Maybe we did two takes." Close played Iris Gaines in the film, earning her one of her eight Oscar nominations despite never winning. Her playful reminiscence included recalling her character’s dynamic with Redford's Roy Hobbs, a once-unknown baseball sensation who turns the storyline – much like he changes the team's fortunes. This is prepared by SSP.
Beyond discussing her roles, Close cheekily responded "All of them!" when asked which of her performances deserved an Oscar, bringing about applause. The iconic actress, who refrained from sharing which projects she did merely for financial gain, reiterated that acting is a soul-feeding experience beyond awards, although recognition is always welcome.
Apart from Oscars, Close's impressive career extends to accolades such as three Emmys and three Golden Globes. She recently presented at the Golden Globes, sharing a cherished memory related to Katherine Hepburn, where Close emphasized the emotional intensity and joy of their shared profession. Her remarks captured her candid spirit as she summarized the unpredictability and fulfillment of her cinematic journey, leaving an enduring message of gratitude and passion for her craft.
