‘Fatal Attraction’ showed viewers I’m ‘sexy’

Glenn Close’s iconic career is not going to be ignored, Dan.

The actress, 77, got candid on working in the industry since making her film debut in the 1982 film “The World According to Garp” alongside Robin Williams.

Close’s first film earned her an Academy Award nomination, but it wasn’t until five years later that she felt one role showed her in a different light.

Close admitted that starring in “Fatal Attraction” led the world to see her in a more feminine way.

“I think it was the first time people realized I could be sexy,” she told CBS’s “Sunday Today with Willie Geist.”

The classic 1987 thriller follows an editor Alex (Close) who is jilted by a married man, Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas), and becomes unstable and obsessive.

But despite her stellar performance in the project and dozens of others, the Oscar nominee hasn’t always felt like she fits in Hollywood.

“I mean frankly, I’ve always felt like I’m a bit of an outsider. I still do feel like I’m an outsider,” Close confessed. “I still feel there’s unknowns in me.”

And that motivates the movie star.

“I think there’s still discoveries to be made. You just have to find the right team,” she added.

As for her early days in New York City acting in theater alongside Meryl Streep, Close has one word to describe that era: “Thrilling.”

“I remember going to an audition and going out of the stage door and literally thinking that the streets were paved with gold,” the Connecticut native said. “You feel like you’ve levitated in some way because you know you’re going to have a chance.”

“I had a moment in ‘The Big Chill’ — I started to understand how powerful thought is on film,” Close said about the 1983 comedy/drama, “that is just as powerful as the spoken word.”

But one role in particular fans may not know about is Close’s reunion with Williams in the 1991 family film “Hook.”

“[Steven] Spielberg said, ‘Do you want to be a pirate?’ I said sure!” Close said.

The famed director, 78, gave the actress a beard and “chest hair.”

“The script girl tried to hit on me,” Close teased about others not realizing it was her as the male pirate.

These days, the actress is starring alongside Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz in the Netflix comedy “Back in Action.”

“I was amused by the script,” Close said. “I thought it was almost a throwback to those great spy romp movies.”
