In a recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," the acclaimed actress Glenn Close disclosed that her most memorable on-screen kiss was with Robert Redford in the 1984 film "The Natural." Close fondly recalled the experience, though she jokingly lamented that the kiss was all too brief. She also mentioned that her character in the film, Iris Gaines, initially rejects Redford's character, Roy Hobbs, but eventually ends up with him. "The Natural" garnered Close an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Gaines, a testament to her acting prowess.
Close's impressive career boasts eight Academy Award nominations. When asked by host Andy Cohen which of her performances she felt was most deserving of an Oscar, she wittily responded, "All of them!" However, she playfully pleaded the fifth when asked which project she accepted solely for the paycheck.
In "The Natural," Redford portrays a gifted baseball player whose career is interrupted by a tragic incident. Years later, he makes a remarkable comeback, defying all odds to become a top player. Close's character, Iris, is his former love interest who re-enters his life during this period.
Close also discussed her experience working on the 2020 film "Hillbilly Elegy," an adaptation of J.D. Vance's memoir. During a recent appearance on "The View," she spoke about the Vance family's generosity and involvement in the film's production. She recounted how the family visited the set and shared personal anecdotes and insights, helping the actors embody their roles authentically. Close specifically mentioned how J.D. Vance himself assisted the younger actor portraying him in the movie.
