Summary
- Glenn Close didn't realize a romantic dinner with Robert Redford was a date.
- She described herself as too clueless and unsure at age 21.
- Close named Redford her best onscreen kiss in a past interview.
Actress Glenn Close recently shared a surprising anecdote about her past interactions with the late Robert Redford. She recounted a romantic dinner invitation from Redford in 1984, after they starred together in "The Natural," which she failed to recognize as a date.
Close, now 78, admitted on a podcast that she was too "clueless and unknowing" at the time to even consider the romantic potential of the dinner. She humorously referred to herself as a "dork" in her youth, wishing she could tell her younger self to "pull yourself together."
In a separate past appearance, Close had fondly named Redford as her "best onscreen kiss," recalling their limited on-screen intimacy. She is currently engaged in various projects, including "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" and the Hulu drama "All's Fair."
