Robert Redford's on-screen kiss with Glenn Close was his biggest regret.
In the 1984 movie 'The Natural,' Close and Redford portrayed love interests.
Glenn Close disclosed the identity of the Hollywood icon whose kissing skills deeply impacted her.
On Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live!" on Thursday, a 77-year-old actress took part in a round of "Plead the Fifth" during her appearance. During the segment, host Andy Cohen posed three questions to the guest, and they were given only one chance to "Plead the Fifth."
In the initial stages of the game, Cohen remarked that Close has appeared in numerous romantic films, then inquired, "Which on-screen kiss has been your most memorable?"
The Natural" star briefly closed her eyes and smiled before replying, "Robert Redford.
However, Close expressed her regret that the encounter was brief.
"I only got to kiss him once," she recalled.
"Only one take?" Cohen asked.
"Maybe we did two takes," Close recalled.
"Although I kicked him out of my apartment in the film, I ultimately ended up with him."
In the movie "The Natural," Redford portrayed Roy Hobbs, a gifted baseball player whose career was cut short when he was mysteriously shot by a deranged woman. Despite this setback, Hobbs made a remarkable comeback to professional baseball 16 years later and proved everyone wrong by becoming one of the league's top players.
Iris Gaines, Hobbs' former girlfriend, reunites with him in the movie and was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "The Natural."
He observed that Close had received eight Academy Award nominations.
Cohen inquired of Close, who has never received an Academy Award, which of her performances she believed most deserved an Oscar.
The audience erupted in laughter and applause as she exclaimed, "All of them!"
Was it also asked to name the project she took on solely for the paycheck?
""I plead the Fifth!" exclaimed Close with a grin."
The actress received an Oscar nomination for her role in "Hillbilly Elegy," a 2020 film adaptation of JD Vance's 2016 memoir. In the movie, she portrayed Bonnie "Mamaw" Vance, the grandmother of Vance, who was played by Gabriel Basso.
During an interview on "The View," Close revealed that Vance's family was "generous" while filming the movie adaptation.
Vance helped Owen Asztalos, the young actor who played him as a boy in the film, with the role.
We all had individual conversations with family members. I specifically asked Mamaw about her mannerisms, such as how she walked, sat, smoked, laughed, and changed the atmosphere in a room. The family was very accommodating with their time.
