Glenn Close Discusses New Role in Hulu's "All’s Fair"
Glenn Close expressed her reluctance to repeat roles, saying, “I don't want to repeat myself because I think I'd be really bored.” Despite the many iconic women who have worked on Ryan Murphy projects, Close had not participated until now with Hulu’s All’s Fair.
Joining an All-Female Cast
Close plays Dina, a powerful lawyer in an all-female law firm that features Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, and Naomi Watts. She shared how her initial intimidation faded after understanding the show's tone: “Once I understood the tone, then it became really fun.”
“To bring all that energy...and all that experience together is bound to create something really unique.”
A Unique Bond Among Cast Members
Close highlighted the deep connections formed among the cast:
“This group of women, they’ll be my friends for the rest of my life.”
Career Choices Driven by Exploration
Beyond her immense talent, Close attributes her continued work to her desire for new experiences: “I’m basically up for anything as long as it represents a new exploration.”
Upcoming Projects
Close will appear soon in Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, released the same week as All’s Fair. Reflecting on this coincidence, she said,
“I got two Ryans in the same week. It was like, what?”
Editor's Note
The following quote is from the interview, edited for clarity. Many in Close's generation first saw her in 101 Dalmatians, but for the interviewer, Fatal Attraction was the defining introduction: “I was a 12-year-old and my father had rented Fatal Attraction, and I watched it.”
Author’s summary: Glenn Close embraces new challenges, joining a dynamic all-female cast in Hulu’s All’s Fair and balancing multiple exciting projects, driven by her passion for unique artistic exploration.
