Legendary actor Glenn Close is set to be immortalized outside will the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with a hand and footprint ceremony.
The ceremony will take place on May 1 as part of the 2026 TCM Classic Film Festival, which will take place from April 30 to May 3.
Last year, Close starred in Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.” Later this year, she will appear in “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” as Drusilla Sickle. Speaking about her role, Close teased, “It’s huge. There’s all these extras and helicopters and chariots and horses.”
She recently joined the Ryan Murphy-verse, playing a wily divorce attorney in the campy Hulu drama “All’s Fair.” “I was intimidated,” she admits. “I’d never been in a Ryan movie or show. … I didn’t understand the tone for a while. I found it hard.”
Close will present a special screening of “Dangerous Liasons” as part of the festival.
Ben Mankiewicz, TCM primetime host and official host of the TCM classic film festival said, “To this day, I can remember the first time I saw Glenn Close on the big screen. Though her film debut came a year earlier in ‘The World According to Garp’ (earning an Oscar nomination), I’ll never forget seeing her in ‘The Big Chill,’ delivering a memorably layered performance that revealed the extraordinary talent, intelligence and emotional depth that have defined her career ever since.” He added, “More than four decades later, she continues to captivate audiences—from her earliest roles to powerful later performances like ‘The Wife’—and we are proud to honor her enduring legacy at this year’s festival.”
Close joins Jodie Foster, Michelle Pfeiffer, George Clooney, Jamie Lee Curtis, Diane Keaton and more, all of whom are immortalized outside Hollywood’s famous courtyard.
The TCM Classic Film Festival celebrates the power of classic cinema through screenings, special events and appearances by legendary talent.
