Sensational and highly talented Glenn Close turns 70 today. I have always admired her acting abilities and how easily she slips between characters. From being so calculating and frightening in some movies to being sympathetic and motherly in others, Close does it all and always convincingly. I can’t think of a single bad performance she’s given, which says a lot about her talent. So happy birthday Glenn Close, you’re a real legend.

As she got older, she started to remind me a lot of Robin Williams, for some reason!
Nice tribute, V.
Cheers, Pete.

It’s a travesty that she’s never won an Oscar. She’s turned in so many outstanding performances throughout her career. I could watch her in anything.

She was great in the tv series Damages. Don’t know if you have seen it, but it is worth checking out just for her performance alone 😀

70? Somehow I never thought she was that old. Time flies, I guess. Absolutely loved her in Albert Nobbs, also vividly remember her in Dangerous Liaisons. She is so talented, and despite her age she remains to active! Recently, I also thought of her because of the upcoming “Cruella” with Emma Stone. Wasn’t it Glenn who did the voice of the original character in the animation?
