Throughout her long and varied career, Glenn Close has been consistently acclaimed for her versatility and is considered by many to be one of the greatest actresses of all time. She has won three Emmy Awards, three TONY AWARDS and received six Academy Award nominations.

Close began her professional stage career in 1974 in Love for Love, and was mostly a Broadway actress through the rest of the 1970s and early 1980s, appearing in both plays and musicals, including major productions such as Barnum in 1980 and The Real Thing in 1983, for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. Her first film role was in The World According to Garp (1982), which she followed up with supporting roles in The Big Chill (1983), and The Natural (1984); all three earned her nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She would later receive nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performances in Fatal Attraction (1987), Dangerous Liaisons (1988), and Albert Nobbs (2011). In the 1990s, she won two more Tony Awards, for Death and the Maiden in 1992 and Sunset Boulevard in 1995. She returns to Broadway in the fall of 2014 in a revival of Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance.[4]

On television, she won her first Emmy for the 1995 TV movie Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story. She starred as Eleanor of Aquitaine in the 2003 version of The Lion in Winter, winning a Golden Globe. In 2005, she starred in the drama series The Shield, then from 2007-2012, she starred as Patty Hewes in the FX drama series Damages, a role that won her a Golden Globe and two Emmys.

Close is a six-time Academy Award nominee, tying the record for being the actress with the most nominations never to have won (along with Deborah Kerr and Thelma Ritter). In addition, she has been nominated for four Tonys (three wins), fourteen Emmys (three wins), fourteen Golden Globes (two wins) and eight Screen Actors Guild Awards (one win). She has also been nominated three times for a Grammy Award and once for a BAFTA.
