Glenn Close recently made a delightful appearance on Watch What Happens Live, where she reflected on her illustrious career and shared a charming memory about her best onscreen kiss. When host Andy Cohen asked her to name the actor with whom she shared the most memorable kiss, she immediately named Robert Redford.
Close recalled a scene from the 1984 film The Natural, where she played Iris Gaines opposite Redford’s character, Roy Hobbs. Describing the kiss, she noted, “I only got to kiss him once,” but when pressed for details, she added with a smile, “Maybe we did two takes.”
The Natural was a significant moment in Close’s career, earning her one of her eight Oscar nominations. In the film, Redford plays a middle-aged baseball phenom, while Close’s character, Iris, plays a key role in his life.
When asked which of her roles she felt most deserved an Oscar nomination, Close humorously replied, “All of them.” Despite not having won an Oscar, Close has accumulated three Emmys and three Golden Globes, solidifying her place as one of Hollywood’s most accomplished and respected actresses.
Her candid and lighthearted responses, especially about the unforgettable kiss with Redford, left fans with a glimpse of the charm and warmth that have made her a beloved figure in the industry.
