Glenn Close Reveals Shocking Alternative Ending to "Fatal Attraction" | The Drew Barrymore Show

[@gregsthrottle]

GLENN SHOULD HAVE WON. Not just for Fatal Attraction, but for Dangerous Liasions as well 🏆

[@Steven-fw1ll]

Nope the year she didn't win for dangerous liaisons she lost to Jodie foster in the accused and she frickin deserved that one

[@gregsthrottle]

@@Steven-fw1ll Yeah, I'm not saying it was the same year. She just should've won, many times, period.

[@mariosanchezgumiel7757]

Agreed. Those two Oscars were for her.

[@amybriggs7170]

I actually think she should have won for The Wife.

[@johnsax1445]

Absolutely

[@andyroo9381]

Glenn's performance, in Fatal Attraction, was so chilling!

[@darrylthomas2664]

Yes it was & she has a great body of work...not just in drama. She does a great job in BACK IN ACTION with Cameron, & Jamie which is an Action Comedy of sorts. Like her & so many other great actresses need to get their flowers while they are still here. 💐

[@champagnebulge1]

watched again recently. it really is like the mothership for so many wannabe lifetime network movies that came after.

[@Jordi7174]

Why does she not have an Oscar yet!

[@darrylthomas2664]

Yep, good question

[@murceg0electrico]

she 100% should have won for Fatal Attraction. Iconic.

[@BobbyHutchison-d1k]

Glenn is brilliant. Love her work.

[@chrisbean]

She is one of my favorite actresses next to Meryl Streep. ❤ Her voice, her mannerisms... She is lovable!

[@sport.318.]

BRILLIANT Actress. She should have won a couple of Oscars by now.

[@handebarlas6248]

I think Oscar is a joke. Similarly, Emily Watson should have won for her performance in Breaking the Waves. Even just for these two examples, I don't really have faith in Academy awards.

[@stevescissors]

Glenn is an amazing actress, love listening to her, and she's still looks beautiful.

[@LeilanaV]

She was so damm real convincing in that "Alex" role!! Omg.any awards ? Oscar golden globe worthy!!!!😮

[@marygruber8665]

One of the greatest actresses of her generation. Talk about range. Everyone should see" The World according to Garp".

[@GiftSparks]

That was her first movie, wasn’t it?

[@jenchristensen66]

Loved the book and LOVED the film.

[@jenniferspoto3688]

Glenn has real class and talent. She definitely should have gotten an Oscar for Dangerous Liaisons. Her performance was flawless.

[@manuellaopao8036]

......one of the actress that is blessed with longevity in her acting career..

[@tresjolieme81]

Bless her heart she was judged for her looks in the film and she openly admitted how beautiful the other actress was.

[@jimmyo1123]

I met her in ny shes an awesome person😊

[@AazfashFilms]

The motherly kiss Glenn gave Drew at the end of this clip was so warm and pure... ❤❤

[@allylou5151]

Glen looks amazing

[@EJofLA]

I so resonate with Glenn's interpretation. I remember completely not liking the ending (won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie). I saw Glenn's character as sad and would have much preferred the movie's original ending as Glenn just described...

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Drew! Thanks, Glenn! 🤩

[@twylacrowder1256]

Back In Action was a really fun movie. I'm glad they left it open for a possible sequel.

[@movieguy11a]

That original ending has been available since DVD

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Yeah, I thought most movie fans knew about how Alex Forrest slumps into a deep depression and takes her life, and Michael Douglas' character is framed for her murder.

[@EvanBakerian]

I really think she deserved the Oscar

[@leoguerra4516]

I admire Drew Barrymore since ET ...and we was born 02/22/75...50🎉 this year

[@HelloME-tb8kf]

Word of the day: MAGNANIMOUS

[@ThisGuy76]

Too bad she used it incorrectly.

[@gregmcfarnon1140]

Yes. Maybe Drew should look it up.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

The woman is trying to sound brainy. And she's not. The word means forgiving or charitable.

[@Lu1giMang1one]

Glenn is Awesome in Back in Action. She's great in every movie

[@PaperImagesArtStudio]

Wow Luigi's writing from jail. Seriously dude

[@Lu1giMang1one]

@PaperImagesArtStudio i'm just a fan of his work

[@princepeterwolf]

How this woman has never won an oscar and emma stone won two is completely beyond me

[@LiirThropp2687]

Glenn's performance as Alex was phenomenal. She gave Alex a humanity that made her kinda pitiful which made it all more disturbing. There were layers. Alex was a very sick, sad woman who desperately needed mental help. Glenn brought all that out perfectly.

[@Eggmanontheair]

someone might want to tell Drew that the original ending has been widely seen and available for decades.

[@TravelBeautyGirl]

I cant believe she didnt win the Oscar is not possible she is unique ❤❤❤❤

[@SteMcgarry-xy5gb]

Dangerous liasons, she owned that

[@kerryannehogg6009]

"It's simply beyond my control." Glenn and John were both phenomenal in that film.

[@TheSphinx65]

Give her an Oscar…the soonest!

[@missgracey17]

We want to watch that alternate ending!!!

[@valterszeps6133]

I LOVE that movie 🍿❤

[@jako3214]

Hands over face (as in wtaf) does this woman NOT have her hands on an Oscar!! Disgraceful. Truly a fantastic, pitch perfect actress (ya, 'up there' w/ Meryl & Jessica), lovely, classy, beloved etc.... She's almost 78 yo *what* are the fng Oscars waiting on to at LEAST give her an honorary Oscar and ya, make it a BFD because she was done dirty/ painfully robbed at least 2-3 times!! Beyond brilliant in Fatal Attraction (multi layered, subtle, emotional, absolute perfection). And The Wife!! Swept every pre major Oscar award then...'loses'?? :-#

[@eddieg6436]

It’s a CRIME she doesn’t have an Oscar.

[@zezar213]

Love how Drew praised so much Cameron's movie even tho she knows it sucks.

[@gloriamovies4296]

Glenn's great actrees 🎉

[@missgracey17]

It’s so unfair she still never had an Oscar up until now!

[@daniellebelisle2446]

We watched the alternative ending in one of my college film classes, and I believe if I am not mistaken the video was buffering a bit at a certain point (if you know you know lol) and it was just soooo funny and shocking seeing it in a still image for a bit with all of my classmates LOL 😆

[@PaperImagesArtStudio]

I never hated her. It's was him who was married.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

The infidelity aside for a second, Alex's behavior to him and his family was incredibly alarming and scary. She was frightening as hell, what she said and did in that film. I found him to be a crumb-bum who shoulda kept his pants zipped, and her to be a deranged wacko monster.

[@55555gino]

I'm still shocked that Cher won that Oscar instead of Glenn. Like, WTF

[@bilaalbadurdeen2733]

Yes, that was Glenn’s Night 😢

[@robertmiller5516]

Glenn was robbed

[@Lu1giMang1one]

Award Shows are Rigged. But Shhhhh

[@doloresescala8472]

Cher should have won for silkwood, I never liked moonstruck don’t know why!!!

[@gjnoto1]

Oh well its been almost 40years !

[@zcvxs]

Hollywood loves to not give glenn oscar. Its hilarious at this point

[@eddieg6436]

What she didn’t say was HIS fingerprints were on the knife she commits suicide with, and the Michael Douglas character goes to JAIL for murder!! (the test audiences HATED this ending).

[@jazzyflorida3757]

❤❤❤

[@hjorvarthvalamir2182]

If Drew had all grey white hair like that and wore white zombie eyes contacts and bright read lipstick that would look pretty cool.

[@horrorjunkie96]

has Drew never watched a DVD's extras in her life? that alternate ending has been available to watch for ages.

[@handebarlas6248]

Oh that character!!!😨😱

[@montyduskin4610]

I ENJOY EVERY THING SHE DOES BUT HER OSCAR WIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR ,, THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP 😊

[@Violet-du9bk]

They need to release the original ending!

[@boobetch470]

it's available on KZbin someone uploaded the OG ending

[@RebeccaStropoli]

The original ending has been available on KZbin for years. Just search it and you can watch it.

[@gyobfan22]

@@RebeccaStropoli And before KZbin it was on the dvd.

[@kiwigirljacks]

I actually prefer that alternative ending!

[@shookdrm.d.9389]

a real oscar winner......yet!

[@MrS98VAC]

Jagged Edge

[@craigmurphy1618]

Bad Bunny be like " don't boil me Alex" ! 😂😂😂

[@zcvxs]

Prey Hollywood gives Demi oscar

[@Irishgirl7]

I never knew the backstory of her character in fatal attraction…gee….

[@chiedu90069]

I wish they'd dig up the footage and re-release as a special alternate cut

[@eduardo_corrochio]

It is already on the DVD as a bonus feature, and also on KZbin. Been available for a long time. People today seem to thnk it's lost footage even though it isn't. If dingaling Drew had done _any_ research beforehand she chould've told viewers that the orig ending can be seen; Glenn could have mentioned that, too.

[@JoeBuck207]

You can see the alternative ending on KZbin they definitely made a better choice changing it.

[@bonotoon5273]

Nah. The alternate ending was more in line with the character and gave her and the film more depth, as it served as a leitmotif of the connection she felt with Cio-Cio San in Madame Butterfly. The scene that ended up in the theatrical release was done for commercial reasons, and I found it to be cheesy and predictable.

[@TheAutisticrats]

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

You really shouldn't be doing stuff like that. It might be frowned upon. Imagine if you spotted a guy stealthily placing cheeseburgers into a public buffet: you don't know if they're laced with ground glass or cyanide, LOL. Plus, that's just odd behavior in general.

[@TheAutisticrats]

@@eduardo_corrochio its not. i have a food handlers license. plus, the hard exoskeleton of the corndog will protect it from any bacteria that may be present.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@TheAutisticrats You could have a certificate from Le Cordon Bleu for all I know. But that's not the point. Look at it objecitvely from the POV of a guest who has just been told that one item they've been eating was smuggled in without permission. I wager their delight about discovering corn dogs might just dwindle. But, never mind.... I don't want to bicker about something so silly.

[@sjbenson5618]

You know I’ve been saying this alot, what if it was reversed and it was a woman that cheated on her husband for two nights and her mister wanted to be part of her life and did terrible things to get her back by destroying her family? her husband and children would be the victims

[@monicad99]

shocking alternative ending? that’s not new, or shocking, frankly. this story has been told before.

[@GabHalls]

Perfect example of when an actor grows a brain. You are getting paid, do your job and go home. This all so extra.

[@TheeOGBobby]

I saw the alternate ending in the DVD. Alex unalived herself with a butcher knife and framed Dan for it.

[@craigjb8740]

This is such old news….how on earth is it a ‘reveal’? 🤔

[@ekaterinaroyster5892]

Not the Rabbit!

[@petersmith2670]

I like to kiss drew 😍💋

[@johnlewis195]

Rabbitts Done Dan.......LOL

[@SarahJoDannetteGosa]

Is there and end where you don't harm the bunny

[@RebelBuddha1971]

Came away from seeing FA for the first time in the theater in Fall 1987 absolutely convinced Glenn was a shoo-in for every possible acting award in existence. Cher’s performance in Moonstruck “better” than Glenn’s performance according to the Academy voters?!? What?!?

[@GiftSparks]

Cher actually earned the Oscar for her performance in Mask , but since she didn’t win that year they gave it to her for Moonstruck, which wasn’t a great movie. Glenn really deserved it.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@GiftSparks Moonstruck is terrific stuff, but its subject matter, schmaltzy romance in Brooklyn, might be looked down on by some cinephiles. Cher's work in it is stellar but it's such a different role than Alex Forrest..

[@GiftSparks]

@@eduardo_corrochio I have a real soft spot for Mask and Cher’s performance. If you ever see interviews with the real-life person she was playing (Rusty Dennis), Cher does an incredible job of acting like her. It is all the more impressive since she didn’t have to. I mean, Rusty Dennis wasn’t a famous person, so no one would know. But Cher had a lot of integrity as an actor and it was important to her. Very impressive.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@GiftSparks Absolutely right. That speaks volumes about Cher. What a genuine person, and someone who values authenticity.

[@RebelBuddha1971]

@@GiftSparks I think you’re correct. I didn’t mean to imply that Cher wasn’t terrific in Moonstruck (and Mask), because she was, but her performance is SO totally different than Glenn’s they shouldn’t have even been in the same category. Unlike the Oscars, the GG’s split the best actor/actress into drama and comedy/musical, and Cher definitely deserved winning the latter.

[@beingsshepherd]

That dog looks so bored 😄

[@americanitalianisrael4008]

And to think this Superb American Icon Actress doesn't have an Oscar. But the worthless Oscars give an nomination to a Man for BEST ACTRESS 2025. Horrific.

[@rayoflight6505]

Glenn is as good if not better than Meryl Streep yet gets a fraction of the same acclaim or acknowledgement.

[@stevest-laurent]

Everything is iconic to Drew, very limited vocabulary and intelligence. Thank goodness for the teleprompter😮😮😂😂

[@eduardo_corrochio]

And then she tries to sound wise by throwing in "magnanimous", and using it in the wrong way. She annoys me no end, I have seen one episode of her show (on the wall TV of a doctor's waiting room) and ten minutes was more than I could handle. She is such a suck-up, and acts like she was born last week or is a 13 year old who was suddenly thrown into this hosting gig. All emotions are through the ceiling. She needs a therapist. And a dictionary!

[@PPLL463]

Drew , is an annoying “ Talk show host” . Stop, the noise Drew ! As far as Glenn , she is outstanding. Loved her in “ Damages “

[@ladominisima]

And nobody says the name of the movie she's promoting lol

[@DennisAlexis]

Actually, they do towards the end. "Back In Action".

[@scotchette]

I didn’t like that movie. The end spoiled everything. It was sexist too.

[@LeilanaV]

What happened to the stalker "akrx" frizzy hair!!?? Dont tell me that was created for a role ahd in reality her hair is strait..wtf!

[@user-hx7mi7ml8u]

What? That movie was FROM 1987. Do you really expect her to have the same hairstyle as back then? A lot of hairstyles are “created for a role,” what’s the big deal?

[@ELEKTRARE]

Glenn is just fabulous , her best roles are the vilains 👿 😊🫶🏼😸
