What is Glenn Close’s “Signature” Role?

Fatal Attraction. She was [italic]iconic.[/italic] Every straight man in America was scared shitless after seeing that.

So were pet rabbits, r1!

She probably wabts it to be Norma, but she was so OTT in the 90s that she had to tone it down when she reprised it a few years ago. If her original take was so good, that wouldn't have been necessary.

Fatal Attraction...no contest!!! Cruella DeVil might be a distant 2nd...and nobody, I mean NOBODY would say she's had a role in the past 20 years that would be a contender (despite 3 Oscar nominations during that timeframe).

That's why she wants to do the Sunset film. They could use her old vocals and with thr right set and support cast, make her look like a movie musical queen (neither she nor Meryl are, sorry ladies).

8 time loser.

Hillbilly Elegy~

A 90 year old, balding Norma Desmond who sings like a dying frog? Hard pass.

Yes, but Patti’s signature role was 40 years ago, which is at least as depressing.

I don't understand the question.

This=

"Maxie" with Mandy and Ruth.

Where’s THE BIG CHILL?

Perennial Oscar Wall-Flower.

The Susan Lucci of Oscars

Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Bride?

You haven't heard the last of me yet...

What's that you say?

Da butt

Never catching up to me

The dancing stooge last year.

She was Stepin Fetchit in a blue dress.

Unforgettable!

What an ugly expression! And what an ugly display!

A 60 year old woman exercising her intestinal muscles in public!

It was a colossal spectacle, and a horrendous embarrassment.

Poor Glenn thought she could reverse five decades of slavery horror with five minutes of self-humiliation.

Her signature role is definitely from Fatal Attraction but her best role was in Dangerous Liaisons.

Obviously

Fatal Attraction was a phenomenon. Newspapers, radio shows, Tv shows all debated it and G's character. Movies just don't stir that kind of talk anymore.

Fatal Attraction is a pretty dumb movie. She boils the bunny and slits her wrists to Leontyne Price? (no one that good:) DAN, Dan, DAN! She's a fucking howl.

Glenn Close's signature role is that of part-time mother. For six weeks every summer and Christmas, every other year.

Dan, wait!

r27 is not one of us.

I fuckin hope I'm not like you, R29. I'm a man, under 40. What are you? Old white queers are so insular.

✅✅✅✅

According to this other post of yours r30 you are over 40.

In the late 80s I was 4 to 5 years old. Not exactly a young gay. Though I loved MJ, Diana Ross and Whitney. Things have changed since then gramps. That was one of the points of my OG post @ R358. Weren't you all suffering the consequences from being Ass UP in a bathhouse and taking loads for more than a decade by the late 80s? Living and dying with AIDS. A terrifying time. Like Norman Lear. You can't really blame Bonnie Frank for that now, can you R358? Maybe it was poppers.

Nobody watched the show but Glenn was indeed masterful on Damages. Definitely the role of her career. Thankfully it holds up well to binge-watching (ahead of the curve in that way) so it may be appreciated more in the coming years.

She was robbed of that Oscar for [italic]Fatal Attraction[/italic]. Robbed!

I think she will be forgotten, other than eight time Academy Award loser, Glenn Close.

Can't get it up for math either Gramps @ R32? You ARE a sad example of one of them.

R35 Is M. who will also be forgotten, other than most nominated acting nominee.

Ok I didn't read the late eighties part. But you are rapidly closing in on 40 and yikes you're the deranged Jennifer Hudson poster. And yes you are not one of us DLers who love Fatal Attraction regardless of age.

You sound like a character on Pose.

All movie stars will be forgotten. It's a dying art. Kids are more interested in their phones.

I don't watch Pose. I'm a man. You need to put the bottle down and get some rest now, Gramps. Aka, R29/R32/r38. Would you like me to repost some of your racist RANTS on from this site or just report them directly? You have hundreds of them. Probably thousands. Is that what you mean by "one of us" ??? Probably. Old white gay RACIST, with bad taste. That's the DL on a Thursday night! You're dying off, praise the devil.

You have a long lonely weekend of drinking ahead of you R38. Put the bottle down for tonight. Check your diaper. Rest.

I'm not at all like you. ✅ Correct. ✅ I'll pray for you though. ❤

Many people say that Glenn Close is Trans, and not just because of her name. Don't you wish you had her jawline Gramps? GC isn't anyone's idea of a movie star, that's for sure. Good actress, but not a star.

Hell no.

She was really bad as Norma Desmond....it's not a great show but ALW always always comes thru with a few showstoppers. to be kind, glen was inadequate....bad.

ah your that person too, the one who thinks everyone is the same poster posting thousands of racist posts. Why don't you do both. Respond to them and report them to the manager. You only get a few F and F's a day you know, Karen.

No. By one of us I meant people who enjoy a complex character study that is pretty much beloved on DL. You are not one of us. You're a psycho with some hang up on age. 40 's coming pretty fast for you. And your deep hatred of white people will probably haunt you for the rest of your life.

[quote] I'll pray for you though

to the big man in the sky r40? Your belief in that shows us you are also not one of us.

What a sad desperate old man you are R43. Who would want to be like you? You represent no one but yourself. You are not well liked here. You are quite crazy to be honest. Y'all soon will be replaced.🙏🏾

Another thread ruined by the Ancient White Fag troll.

When will it end, Muriel?

As if you know who is liked and who isn't and who is old and who isn't.

I've seen your tirades in other threads. Anyone who differs with you is old and racist.

and your the crazy Y'all poster I've read people complain about.

Have fun at church. Lots of downlow men their I'd guess. Probably why you go.

This thread is damaged by R45 and his other hateful and stocking posts here. At R29 and r38. This poster is well known to Datalounge and Murial. it posts from multiple accounts and harrasses people on this and other threads. Trolldar its posts and you'll see who is ruining things for younger men on Datalounge. There is a serious mental illness to pity about this man. But he chased us around too and he's very disturbed. F&F R45. R46. R29. R42. R43/ I use all of them on him today. F&F. I am 51 years old and this old man hunts me down to. Please sTop it. Internet harrassment is not allowed on DL.

r47 still hasn't learned to spell stalking.

No one is hunting you down. The posts you list don't even all belong to me.

R47, aka Ancient White Fag troll, is certifiable crazy!

And WW-ing your own post within seconds is not only pathetic but sad. Get help. I'm sure there are some decent mental institutions in Nova Scotia or Saskatchewan.

And yes, I'm going to continue exposing your mentally unstable ass until Muriel bans you for using such inflammatory, homophobic language.

Then, sadly your time here is over. R49. RIP Nana.

I've never upvoted my own post here ever. I don't need to. That's your trick, because you post from 3 separate accounts. Everyone knows how you try to evade being red marked as a TROLL. Though you will be again. Soon. Very soon.

the letters are written and the phone calls come again about this thing....there is a sure way to make it gone, without blocking it over and over.

contact me

Please post in English r51.

we all wish for the same result - your nurse understands my english

✋🏾✋🏾✋🏾Victory is near, R53.

Another vote for Damages. I especially like the last season where they changed networks and suddenly everyone was able to say fuck. Glenn was also fun to watch in her single season on The Shield.

No love for her role as Homer Simpson's mother?

Fatal Attraction, as much as I'm sure she doesn't want it to be.

I can tell you what she WON'T be remembered for.

Cruella de Vil, of course! She was so good she came back for a sequel.

The live-action sequel stunk. Making matters more confusing was the direct-to-video sequel to the original animated film around the same time.
