Glenn Close Almost Dated Robert Redford: 'Too Clueless'

Glenn Close recently shared a surprising anecdote about her relationship with legendary actor Robert Redford. Following their collaboration on the 1984 drama 'The Natural,' Redford extended an invitation to Close for a dinner at a romantic restaurant. Close, however, confessed that she was "too clueless and unknowing" at the time to recognize the romantic overtures, thus preventing a relationship from developing.

Despite the missed romantic connection, Close maintained a positive sentiment towards Redford, referring to him as a "great friend" and a "true artist" from whom she learned a great deal. Her professional relationship with him also earned her one of her eight Oscar nominations for her role as his love interest in 'The Natural.'

When reflecting on her extensive career, Close identified her kiss with Robert Redford in 'The Natural' as the most memorable onscreen kiss. She expressed a slight regret that they only had that one opportunity to share such a moment, though she acknowledged his significant contributions to film both as an actor and as the founder of the Sundance Film Festival.
