Glenn CloseGlenn Close has worked with leading men including Michael Douglas, Jeremy Irons, and Jeff Bridges — a who's who of the biggest movie stars of the '80s and '90s — but one especially stands out. You might even say he's a natural.
On Thursday's episode of Watch What Happens Live, the Fatal Attraction and The Deliverance star was asked by host Andy Cohen to name the scene partner with whom she had her best onscreen kiss. In a dreamy voice, she answered, "Robert Redford… in The Natural."
Somewhat wistfully, she added, "I only got to kiss him once." Pressed by Cohen, she allowed, "Maybe we did two takes."
Released in 1984, The Natural stars Redford as Roy Hobbs, a middle-aged baseball phenom who singlehandedly turns his team's fortunes around. Close earned her third of eight career Oscar nominations for her work in the film, playing love interest Iris Gaines.
As Close recalled on WWHL, Iris ends up throwing Roy out of her apartment at one point in the film, but the two are together in the end.
Cohen also asked Close — who has never won an Oscar — which of her roles was most deserving of an honor. She kept it simple: "All of them."

Glenn Close and Robert Redford in 'The Natural'For her third and final question of the WWHL game "Plead the Fifth," Close was challenged to name a project that she did strictly for the paycheck. She wisely chose that one as the question she wouldn't answer.
While she hasn't won an Oscar (yet, at least), Close is of course a highly decorated star with many other accolades to her name. For instance, she possesses three Emmys and three Golden Globes.

She just presented a Golden Globe at Sunday's ceremony, where her audio was cut after she used profanity. The comment came about innocuously enough.
"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 explained of the late icon from The Philadelphia Story and The African Queen.
Close's words were then censored, but Entertainment Weekly can confirm that she next said, "We are all so f---ing blessed and lucky."
