She should have won the Oscar that year.

[@MrCraigblaze]

Yes she should have but..She protested the original ending.. XD

[@truthseekeralways7050]

@@MrCraigblaze WHAT ? Please Elaborate More

[@MrCraigblaze]

@@truthseekeralways7050 Glenn did not like the fact that Alex commiting sucidue in the bathroom as in the original ending ..So that is why the movie came up the bathroom brawl that was in the movie ending..So she she did the bathroom fight scene under protest. From what I hear. But since then Glenn has changed her mind..And I just found out she was pregnant at the time too . Maybe that was another reason to 2??

[@raphaelasof8671]

She didn't? Which actress won The Oscar that year?

[@MrCraigblaze]

@@raphaelasof8671 Cher for Moonstruck..1987.. XD

[@terencehennegan1439]

She was also brilliant in Dangerous Liaisons. A fine actress indeed.

[@toddpardoe1352]

Can't believe Cher won the Oscar that year. I've seen both movies and Fatal Attraction was above/beyond Moonstruck

[@mirellalastar]

Thank you.

[@paulvoorhies8821]

It’s the only Oscar injustice of many that physically makes me sick. What a joke!

[@pamcornelius9122]

How humiliating to be an actress of her caliber and lose to Cher.

[@richalderson6069]

She was unbelievably convincing in this role, it still sends chills up the spine.

[@AF-vm6xx]

Must be truth to it i’m sure. She has a track record of husbands in real life.

[@DR-mq1vn]

Glenn Close should have won the Oscar that year. She was robbed.

[@hullmiddleschoolgone]

Agreed 100%

[@halcyon5zippo]

Far more than worthy, absolutely. It’s an iconic performance that will love forever.

[@jimnewcombe7584]

And when you say "forever" you mean what exactly?

[@blondewriter99]

What an intelligent interview. No screaming, no fake laughter, no stupid questions.

[@farrellmcnulty909]

You mean like on Oprah?

[@lookitzmiikeyy]

Ugh I agree 💯❤

[@LeenaBusan1980]

Ok boomer

[@rhondafortson5205]

So right. This lady is a Great Interviewer...respectful, intelligent, & relatable with Ms CLOSE.

[@marleneflourentzou680]

Simply love Glenn Close - a wonderful actress!

[@chrisbean]

I think she is one of the best actresses from USA. I love her soft voice as well.

[@scottbrandts610]

An absolutely SHATTERING, brilliant performance. Glenn nailed it completely. This should have been, unquestionably, HER Academy Award win. This was one of the finest, most powerful performances in cinema history, no argument. They speak here of other actresses who were considered... The only other actress I could ever see fulfilling this role, to the degree that Glenn Close did, is Jessica Lange.

[@slavetometal8529]

Very interesting. Always loved "Fatal Attraction". Fantastic movie.

[@jenniferjones188]

GlennClose is an amazing actress. Her role as Alex Forrester was brilliant in Fatal Atrraction

[@dragonfly6908]

In the bathroom scene Anne Archer wipes the steamed up mirror and sees the reflection of Glen Close behind her just staring at her i get the chills every time i see it.

[@thenightporter]

Funny how we can know exactly what is coming but still get scared when we watch FA for the 25th time.

[@maillad]

Glenn Close didn't want this ending, she was playing the game.. this woman is amazing, but still had to conform at this time.. and it was never about awards, it was about the journey.. Glenn Close and Anne Archer was this film, i wish we could take it back in time and see it from their sides... great film with alot of reality

[@BarekHalfhand]

She was smoking hot in that movie, I just watched it last night ❤

[@treefrogmusicdanceeducatio7315]

They have something against her. She’s won all of these awards and been nominated a bajillion times and still nada.

[@CarolFitzpatrickk]

Wow the interviewer is really tough and awful with that sweet grandma voice

[@truthseekeralways7050]

SharkjawYokel Exactly 😂

[@peretzo]

Bobbie is an excellent interviewer

[@JloveLamar]

LMAO @ "awful with that sweet grandma voice"

[@jameswilliams-zr8co]

it was the 80's kid lol she was a top interviewer

[@Ariana-wv4pf]

She lost to Cher. She never won an Oscar. Somebody is blacklisting her. The Academy hates her.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

I wonder how Cher feels, knowing she didn’t deserve to win her Oscar over Glenn.

[@Notturnoir]

Lame. Cher deserved it! and Dirty Dancing was best picture! Swayze should have won!

[@gregsthrottle]

I love Glenn’s answers/discussions here, but wow! Some of these questions about nudity and other actors are so inappropriate!

[@josiahmitchell8594]

She said her husband will have a tough time watching it. That's an understatement.

[@nox5870]

How she did not win an Oscar for this portrayal is beyond my understanding. She played a nutcase so damn well, absolutely terrifying performance.

[@peretzo]

fantastic interview. Made me want to see the movie 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@humbertoluiz1975]

Wonderful actress

[@JThomason87]

I love watching Bobbie’s interviews on KZbin…it seriously my favorite i guess pass time. I enjoy it more than modern late night television. In this particular interview with Glenn Close, I find it just fascinating that Bobbie was shocked that a studio couldn’t imagine Glenn in the role…if only Bobbie understood the human condition and being a producer…you are thinking lots of things…one of them is revenue and making your money back…who’s the biggest star and will sell tickets lol luckily they ended up thinking of the finished product and why we still reference this movie today and has been remade now in 2024. It was the number 1 movie of 1987. What else do you need to understand that Hollywood has completely lost its audience?

[@thebigl156]

This a cringeworthy interview and Glenn is noticeably uncomfortable with it, for Bobbie focusses more on the nudity and what her Glenns husband's reaction than the character of Alex. It was shortly afterwards revealed Glenn was pregnant at the time of the film's release, but she and her husband had separated, and Glenn had begun a relationship with someone else.

[@zerpblerd5966]

the other ending? I think she kills herself ?

[@astorkitty]

Yes, In The first ending they filmed she kills herself, and basically he gets framed for the murder because he had handled the knife...it really is a more powerful ending.

[@eternalreverie3473]

One of the best actress in the world. She s amazing!

[@Daleylife]

You can tell Glenn is a bit annoyed with having to defend the theatrical ending. It's sad that so often actors "lie" in interviews. Not her fault, it's just kind of the thing.

[@scottbrandts610]

Absolutely... She personally felt that the theatrical ending was completely disloyal to the character of Alex. Glenn totally embraced her (Alex), and knew that a woman like that can and does exist, and felt so strongly that she would have taken her own life before anyone else's. Glenn was a real campaigner for this role, and knew the character inside out. Amazing.

[@jeffkoons001]

she's totally lying here about preferring the revised ending. She's spoken on numerous occassions about how the new ending turns Alex into the 'crazy pscyho lady' she wanted to subvert in playing her.

[@christinebrett4825]

She wanted the original ending to be played where she committed suicide and Michael Douglas got the blame. The reviewing audience that watched it didn't like it, so they changed it.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

She was on the promotion circuit and had to support the movie when it was released. If she hated the revised ending she couldn’t admit that here.

[@andrewlampe6116]

prurient or moralistic questions

[@MrCraigblaze]

Thanks for the upload.. Glenn had one more nudity scene in jagged edge XD.

[@francisphillips53]

Beautiful and very scary..

[@rhymeandreasoning]

The second ending is your typical lame ending. Not saying that it was not good, but had they gone with the original ending that would have so messed with the heads of those in the audience. THAT is what you want. They would not have expected the original ending. The original is more traumatizing, and dark, shocking. The original would have made people leave the theater with their heads spinning. It would have been more emotional, and traumatizing. It would have lingered in the minds of the audience long after they left the theater. And those who watched the movie, and who were cheaters, or were even thinking about cheating. It would have made them really think, and think twice.

[@goldengirl8355]

Yeah. And that may have won her Oscar. But then again, at what cost?

[@rich9987]

Her performance in that film was phenomenal.

[@jimmybuu3179]

EXTRAOSINARY GLENN CLOSE. SHE IS AWESOME/

[@rhondafortson5205]

Glen Close definitely DESERVES AN OSCAR! She is a PHENOMENAL ACTRESS....every bit as good, if not better, than Merle Streep.

[@johnsarkissian5519]

I much, much prefer the original ending! The second ending turned the movie into a cliché “thriller” whereas the original ending was very “realistic” and far more “disturbing”.

[@stereo-type1510]

Till this day when I see her I'm afraid of her because of that character

[@zacktadlock5962]

Yes SHE should have. It was hers

[@juliusJolie]

Lots of great performances during this years but glen is wonderful

[@nadecha5326]

Ironically she divorced her husband the same year the movie came out in ‘87, so let’s say he didn’t care for the nudity

[@GLeon-ov9yu]

Glen Close is an A+ Actress! An Absolutely & Incredibly talented woman - she was perfectly cast in the role.

[@johnsarkissian5519]

4:31 The husband did react, alright! 😉 They divorced the same year! 🤔

[@johnflynn9619]

Bobbie is Magnificent.

[@silverkitty2503]

Fatal attraction was good ...however Audition was BRILLIANT The only thing that isn't believable about the character in fatal attraction is that she is so worldy its hard to believe she would be that naive and she is so socially skilled she would have 100 men eating out of her hands ... its hard to believe she would care about micheal she isn't obsessive ... also there is no back story to explain her damaged self ....why she abuses animals ....in audition ...its clear why she is damaged she suffered awful abuse and had that not happened she would not be this way...and in audition its clear she is stunningly beautiful and that is the only reason men talk to her but they realize there is not much more to her ....and she has no social skills due to her abusive and secluded upbringing ..you can see why she would be obsessive ... she literally sits on a sofa all day and only comes alive when the phone rings on a call from her new victim ..and she does not really assume the man is hers after a first night or date even ..it takes time but then she quickly becomes a monster ...but then i get glenn's point she IS just a generic psycho ..and glenn's character isn't

[@minavamp2811]

glenn was lying, lol. she never liked the theater released ending. she was forced to come back months after shooting completed to reshoot the theater released ending.

[@bryanalstoncoxing]

This was when the movie was still fresh in theatres so she couldn’t trash the movie or anything. She’d prob get in trouble if she told interviewers she didn’t like the ending of her new movie

[@JloveLamar]

She did not like it before it was shot. All of the interviews I have seen of her she says she goes with this ending. Even here, she says she was committed to the first ending, but she would go with the new one. I believe 2 years ago she was asked if she wanted the original ending and she said said it would not have been the hit it was had the original ending stayed

[@polanialmoni6274]

@@JloveLamar what’s the other ending?

[@JloveLamar]

@@polanialmoni6274 Alex commits suicide and makes it look like Michael killed her, so he goes to jail. It's been a while, so the jail part might be incorrect, but she does not go back to the house to fight them or have a big showdown. I believe she goes back just to kill herself.

[@Daleylife]

@@polanialmoni6274 Alex listens to Opera music and ends her life.
