Glenn Close, the star of FX’s Damages, sat down with Hollywood.com for an interview where she dished out info about her new character. We of course perked up when we read the portion where Close spoke about her dogs and then some, read to find out what she said.
HW: Your character may have had a dog killed in the pilot episode. Did you cringe when you first saw that, thinking about what you did to the bunny in Fatal Attraction and terrorizing puppies in 101 Dalmatians and wondering how animal lovers might view you.
GC: [Laughs] I did. I thought of my mother. I thought, ‘Oh, my mother is going to hate this.’ I grew up with dogs. We’re dog fanatics in my family. But what I love about it–and again, I don’t know the whole story about that and I’m clinging to nothing–that’s what it seems. So I don’t know if we’ll find out more about what actually happened. I love the cheeky fact that she’s actually a dog lover. She’s rescuing the dog. Dogs are definitely a theme and it’s kind of a great witty thing on the writer’s part, with all my baggage of Cruella di Vil and all of that. That’s what I love about the series. I think these guys are truly witty–whether they’re talking about someone being covered with blood or someone’s just done this sort of twisting mind games. It’s rare to find that kind of real wit. It makes things so much fun when we sit around the table and read the next episode. We’re always going “”Oh, no! Oh, God! You get to play that!”"
HW: Any other pets on the show that should be looking over their shoulders?
GC: I have two dogs that I take to work everyday–Bill and Jake–and they have become the mascots of the Steiner Studios. So, dogs figure very highly there.
This is our first post about Glenn but not our first interaction with her and her dogs from a writer’s POV – we had the opportunity to write a caption for the NY Post this year and Glenn was one of our subjects
