Glenn Close Biography:
Born in Greenwich, Conn., on March 19, 1947, Glenn Close grew up in Switzerland and Africa while her doctor father ran a clinic in the Belgian Congo. She studied acting and anthropology at William and Mary College and got her start in show business doing local theatre.
Her first big break came in The World According to Garp (1982), which earned her the first of her five Oscar nominations. Close is best known for her portrayal of a rejected mistress who goes off the deep end in Fatal Attraction (1987), but she has a number of other great performances on her resume, including the cruel Marquise de Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and Sunny von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune (1990).
Close has been dividing her time between movies, television and theatre. She won an Emmy Award in 1995 for her portrayal of a lesbian soldier in Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story.
