Glenn Close censored at Golden GlobesLegendary actress Glenn Close gave the Golden Globes censors a well-rounded glimpse at her choice vocabulary during Sunday night's live show.
The 77-year-old star appeared on stage toward the end of the CBS broadcast, where she was set to present the award for Best Motion Picture — Drama. After a brief introduction by host Nikki Glaser, Close walked out in a black gown stitched with French words written in glistening silver. She then addressed the audience before handing out the award.
"One of my most treasured possessions is a letter that Katherine Hepburn wrote to me, in which she described what we all do as this 'terrible profession,' 'this terrifying profession,' and, let's face it, this delicious way to spend your life," Close said of the iconic Hollywood star, who died in 2003. What she said next was censored on the air, though Entertainment Weekly was at the ceremony and can confirm that the performer said, "We are all so f---ing blessed and lucky."
