Glenn Close on Avoiding Repetition in Her Roles
Glenn Close said, “I don't want to repeat myself because I think I'd be really bored.” Despite the many iconic women who have appeared in Ryan Murphy's projects, Close had not worked with him until now. That changed with Hulu’s All’s Fair.
Joining All’s Fair
Close plays Dina, a formidable lawyer at an all-female law firm with cast members including Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, and Naomi Watts. She admitted feeling intimidated at first but found the process fun once she understood the show's tone.
“To bring all that energy...and all that experience together is bound to create something really unique.”
The Bond Among Cast Members
Close highlighted the strong connections formed on set, describing the group of women as lifelong friends.
“This group of women, they’ll be my friends for the rest of my life.”
Pursuing New Challenges
Close’s continued passion for acting stems from her desire to explore new roles rather than repeating herself.
“I’m basically up for anything as long as it represents a new exploration.”
Upcoming Projects
Close will next appear in Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which premieres the same week as All’s Fair. She commented humorously on the coincidence.
“I got two Ryans in the same week. It was like, what?”
Editor's Note
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Many remember their first Glenn Close film from 101 Dalmatians or Fatal Attraction, reflecting her lasting impact on audiences from a young age.
