Glenn Close revealed the identity of the Hollywood legend whose kissing prowess left a lasting impression on her.
The 77-year-old actress participated in a round of “Plead the Fifth” during her appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live!” on Thursday. In the segment, host Andy Cohen asks guests three questions, and they are given only one opportunity to “Plead the Fifth.”
At the beginning of the game, Cohen noted that Close has starred in “so many romantic movies,” before asking her, “Who has been your best on-screen kiss?”
The “Fatal Attraction” star briefly closed her eyes and smiled before replying, “Robert Redford… in ‘The Natural.’”

However, Close expressed her regret that the encounter was brief.
“I only got to kiss him once,” she recalled.
“Only one take?” Cohen asked.
“No, no, maybe we did two takes,” Close remembered.
“But I also threw him out of my apartment in that movie,” she added. “But I ended up with him.”

In the 1984 movie “The Natural,” Redford played Roy Hobbs, a young baseball player with a “natural” talent for the game. Hobbs’ career is derailed after he is inexplicably shot by a disturbed woman, but he returns to professional baseball 16 years later and defies expectations to become one of the league’s best players.
Close played Hobbs’ former girlfriend, Iris Gaines, who reunites with him over the course of the movie. During her appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Cohen pointed out that Close earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in “The Natural.”

“What performance of yours do you think, at the time, was most deserving of an Oscar?” Cohen asked Close, who has never won an Academy Award.
“All of them!” she exclaimed to laughter and applause from the audience.

Close said he and his family visited the set and Vance helped Owen Asztalos, the young actor who played him as a boy in the film, with the role.
“We all met members of the family. We all sat with them individually, you know, one-on-one and, for me, with Mamaw, I’d say, ‘How did she walk into a room? How did she sit? How did she smoke? How did she laugh? How did she change the chemistry?’ So that was, you know, the family was very generous with their time,” Close said.
