Glenn Close Says She "Looked at Charlie Chaplin" to Pose as a Man in Albert Nobbs

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:31:03 PST

In Albert Nobbs, Glenn Close stars as a 19th century woman posing as a man to get by. The movie is out today in wide release and just in time, because Close just earned an Oscar nomination for best actress for the role. Recently, I sat down with Close to chat about bringing the story from the stage to the screen, how she got into character, and why her costume was far more comfortable than what she wears for her TV series Damages.

Michele Foley — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:06:08 PST

Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Rooney Mara, Meryl Streep, and Michelle Williams are the nominees for best actress at this year's Oscars. It's standard to wonder who will win or what they'll be wearing, but we're curious about how these women stay sane and fit during the hectic award season. Find out how these stellar actresses stay healthy, from a one-glass-of-wine maximum to retreating to the mat.

Albert Nobbs Trailer: Glenn Close Knows How to Be a Gentleman

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:45:01 PDT

Glenn Close has tackled a lot of complex roles, but none have been quite like the part she plays in Albert Nobbs. She stars as the title character, a man in 19th-century Ireland who lives a simple life as a waiter in a busy hotel. He generally keeps to himself, but there's something he's really keeping to himself: his gender. Nobbs is actually a woman who has adopted the dress of a man to survive the social climate of the time, but even though Nobbs has kept up the charade for a while, he encounters a few complications. First, another man comes into Nobbs's life and challenges his identity, then Nobbs decides to pursue a dream of opening his own tobacco shop, which requires taking a wife, and he sets his sights on a maid in his hotel (Mia Wasikowska).

There's an undercurrent that Nobbs is on the verge of being discovered at all times, but the trailer plays up the lighter aspects of the story - especially the interesting "love triangle" that Nobbs gets involved in. But the real draw of the film is to see Close as a man, a role that's already earning her awards buzz. To get a hint of how convincingly she mans up, just watch the trailer when you keep reading

Who Should Win the Emmy For Best Lead Actress, Drama?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:00:02 PDT

You've been weighing in on who should win Emmy honors, and I've been loving your arguments! Now that the lead guys have had their turn in my Emmy breakdowns, it's time to sound off on some of the leading female contenders (Friday Night Lights fans, I'm sure you'll want to chime in!). Let's begin with the drama category.

This year brings in new blood, as Mad Men's January Jones and Friday Night Lights star Connie Britton both enter the competition for the first time. They'll be up against Emmy vets, including Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order: SVU, who is up for her seventh nomination (though she's only won once), and Kyra Sedgwick of The Closer, who is making her fifth attempt. Plus, we've got defending champ from the past two years Glenn Close of Damages. Early predictions name Julianna Margulies as a possible front-runner, and although it's her first nod for The Good Wife, she's no stranger to Emmy, having earned six nominations while on ER.

This could be a tight race, so who do you think should win? Share your vote below, and then fill out my Emmy ballot - you could even win an iPad!

Glenn Close Lists Her Upper West Side Digs

CasaSugar — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:30:13 PST

$11.8 million is a lot of money. A lot of money. If I had that kind of money, I would most definitely buy myself a beautiful spread, and hire a fancy decorator to fill it with killer décor. But apparently Glenn Close doesn't have the same priorities.

She's put her 2,000-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath apartment on Central Park West on the market for a whopping $11.8 million, and from the looks of it - furnishings spare, underwhelming, and poorly arranged - decorating is not one of her priorities. But that's OK because the bones of the place are fabulous. It boasts a wood-burning fireplace, two expansive terraces with french doors overlooking Central Park and the Museum of Natural History, two studies, a guest room, hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, and custom Craftsman-style cabinetry. It's just waiting for some glamorous Manhattanite with big pockets to swoop it up. Know anyone?

The Ladies Have Color and Sparkle Despite the Gray in LA

PopSugar — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:57:12 PST

A little rain didn't dampen the fashion show on the red carpet at last night's Golden Globes in LA. Some of our favorite ladies had to accessorize with umbrellas, but apart from wet trains, they seemed pretty unfazed. Diane Kruger led the evening's artsy trend in her bold pink Christian Lacroix gown, while Cameron Diaz went bright in her red Alexander McQueen. Sandra Bullock also decided on color with purple, though Marion Cotillard went a little more low-key in a muted dark green. Jennifer Garner, meanwhile, opted to go the sparkly route in Versace.

A few ladies, though, decided to forgo the color - Penelope Cruz chose black with a part-lace Giorgio Armani Prive gown, as did January Jones with her Lanvin. Kate Hudson and Anna Kendrick took opposite approaches, each choosing to go with light Marchesa numbers. Drew Barrymore also picked Versace, though her dress was one-shouldered and nude-colored. Fab and Bella had things covered on the style and beauty fronts with their love it or hate it polls, so make sure to check in with them for all the latest news from the carpet!

Say What? Glenn Close Speaks Up About Sister's Mental Illness

TresSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:00:00 PDT

"We didn't know that it wasn't Jess just being wild, there was something going on there. . . We come from the tradition that you hardly ever went to a psychiatrist - it just wasn't done. You certainly don't talk about depression, or alcoholism, or any mental illness. It's just not done, and I think a lot of people still feel that."

- Glenn Close went on Good Morning America today to discuss her family's struggle to understand her sister Jessie's mental illness. Jessie was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was 47-years-old. The actress and her sister have filmed a public service announcement with hopes of challenging the stigma attached to mental illness.

Outstanding Comedic Actor Alec Baldwin pranced with joy around the press room last night at the Primetime Emmy Awards in LA. He wasn't the only one happy with his award though - click here for a full list of winners and Buzz's highlights from the night. Kristin Chenoweth kissed her trophy in excitement, although shortly after she left the press room she was hit with a bad migraine and had to be looked after by paramedics. Her rep reassured everyone she was doing fine later on in the night. Creative Arts Emmy winners Justin Timberlake and Tina Fey happily received their trophies backstage, and Tina was joined by her triumphant 30 Rock costars as the Mad Men cast filed in and everyone celebrated after the entertaining show.

Julia Showers Tom With Love and a Few Naughty Words

PopSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:30:00 PDT

Tom Hanks was the man of the hour last night at the 36th Film Society of Lincoln Center's Gala in NYC. Rita Wilson sparkled on his arm, while Ron Howard framed the perfect shot of Tom and Julia Roberts. Fresh off her trip to Venice, Charlize couldn't help but gush about Salma Hayek's wedding and how beautiful the bride looked in her gown. Julia got the most attention of the night due to her miniroast of Tom. She teased him about a few of his past movies and used the f-word so many times to describe everything from his wife's body to wearing the same dress as his publicist that Tom called out her potty mouth in his own speech.
