Glenn Close
Glenn Close is an American actress known for intense dramatic performances across stage and screen.
Her film roles often feature complex, formidable women—the spurned lover in *Fatal Attraction*, the scheming aristocrat in *Dangerous Liaisons*, the ruthless lawyer in *Damages*.
Despite numerous Academy Award nominations, she has become notable for never winning, making her name shorthand for Oscar-worthy performances without the trophy: She's the Glenn Close of her generation.
