Glen Close has performed love scenes with many A-stars over the course of her 50-year career, but which one was the best kisser?
The actress, 77, spoke modestly about the details during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday evening.
The veteran star’s latest film, Back in Action starring Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, debuts on Netflix on January 17, but host Andy Cohen and fans wanted her to revisit her past.
During a game of Plead the Fifth, Cohen asked Close who her best on-screen kiss was. Close said ‘Robert Redford in The Natural.’
