# Glenn Close

> Eight Oscar nominations, zero wins — a record that follows her everywhere. Close built a career on controlled intensity and chameleonic range, from Fatal Attraction's scorned lover to Damages' ruthless litigator, yet the Academy keeps her in the bridesmaid chair.

## Bio

Close launched on Broadway in 1974 and spent the next decade sharpening her craft on stage, winning three Tony Awards across play and musical before Hollywood noticed. Her film debut in The World According to Garp (1982) earned an Oscar nod, and the next fifteen years delivered a run of roles that made her inescapable: the friend in The Big Chill, the temptress in Dangerous Liaisons, the bunny-boiling mistress in Fatal Attraction. She toggled between prestige drama and broad comedy — Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians, an alien-fighting First Lady in Mars Attacks! — while collecting three Emmys for television work that showcased a colder, sharper edge. The 21st century brought Albert Nobbs, The Wife, and Hillbilly Elegy, each adding another Oscar nomination to a tally that now stands at eight. She remains the most-nominated actor never to win.
