Glenn Close Reveals Taking Valium Before ‘Fatal Attraction’ Audition
Glenn Close admitted she took Valium due to nerves before auditioning for one of her most memorable roles as the infamous "Bunny Boiler." The 78-year-old actress, celebrated for her diverse roles in films like 101 Dalmatians, Hillbilly Elegy, and Dangerous Liaisons, delivered one of her finest performances in the 1987 psychological thriller Fatal Attraction. In that film, she played a vengeful lover who stalks a man and his family following the end of their affair.
Behind the Scenes of the Audition
During an episode of The Kardashians, Glenn joined her All Stars co-stars to watch Fatal Attraction. She shared insights about her casting experience before the film began.
“I was doing a play on Broadway and I had to let my understudy go on, which is a big deal, fly to LA. And my hair was long and wild and crazy. And I said, ‘What am I going to do with my hair?’ And I finally said, ‘Oh f**k it, I’m just gonna go like that.’ And I was so nervous I took a Valium.”
Unfamiliar with the drug, she felt the Valium was perhaps too strong for her.
“I don’t take Valiums, so the fact that I took a Valium meant it was serious,” Glenn explained to her All's Fair co-stars, including Kim Kardashian.
