Glenn Close Shares How a Unique Contract Clause Transformed Her Wardrobe into an Extraordinary Collection
Glenn Close recently shared an intriguing detail about her career that highlights her unique approach to costumes in filmmaking. The acclaimed actress revealed that she incorporates a special clause in her contracts, allowing her to keep the outfits she wears during her performances.
Glenn Close’s Unique Contract Clause
During her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Close emphasized the importance of this clause, stating that it grants her the freedom to choose items from the wardrobe department. “I can pick whatever I want unless it is rented,” she acknowledged, adding humorously, “though I have nicked a few of those things too!” This practice has resulted in what Close describes as an extraordinary collection of costumes.
Beyond Costumes: A Collection of Keepsakes
The actress’s affinity for memorabilia extends beyond clothing. For instance, she mentioned keeping prosthetic earlobes from her role in Hillbilly Elegy. Close humorously recounted how she framed these props for director Ron Howard, who found them surprisingly reminiscent of a different shape.
Reflecting on Oscar Nominations
In the same episode, Close reflected on her impressive track record of eight Oscar nominations. “I don’t want to break the run by actually winning,” the 78-year-old joked. She admitted to preparing a speech for the awards, although she enjoys changing it up each time.
Promoting Her Latest Film
Currently, Close is promoting her latest project, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. She revealed that she has a significant role in the film, describing it as a “great part.” In addition to her performance, Close shared her joy about the camaraderie among the cast. “We didn’t hang out in our own trailers at all, but wherever we were we had a moveable green room where we would gather and laugh and sleep and tell stories,” she recounted.
Recent Release of Wake Up Dead Man
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery was released in cinemas on Friday, bringing audiences another chance to witness Close’s outstanding talent. With her unique contract clause ensuring she retains her costumes, fans can look forward to more remarkable styles in her future projects.
