Getting Up Close With Glenn

Are you a fan of “Fatal Attraction” or “Dangerous Liaisons?” Seen the FX show “Damages” or “The Shield?” This morning we ran an interview that I recently did with Glenn Close while in New Orleans. I have not written about it on the blog as I waited for the interview to run but now that the cats out of the bag I can speak freely.

First of all, she is stunning—and so beautiful in person! I couldn’t believe how great she looked. I’ve been a big fan for years but thought she would have aged a bit. She has not. She’s graceful, elegant, poised, incredibly smart and a terrific role model for women. If you don’t know about her background you’ll hear pieces of it in this interview. She is a very well-educated woman having attended William and Mary with a BA in drama and anthropology. She grew up in Greenwich, CT and her grandfather was Edward Bennett Close, once married to Marjorie Merriweather Post, the heiress to the Post cereal fortune and mother to actress Dina Merrill. She has been nominated for five Oscar’s and has won an Emmy, Screen Actor’s Guild Award and two Golden Globe awards. Not too shabby !!!
