The acclaimed actress who connects these three distinct films is the highly versatile Glenn Close. Her performances in these movies showcase the incredible range that would define her career. In the beloved ensemble drama *The Big Chill*, she earned an Academy Award nomination for her role as Sarah Cooper. She received another Oscar nomination for her challenging portrayal of the comatose heiress Sunny von Bülow in *Reversal of Fortune*, a role told largely through flashbacks and narration. Finally, she played the stern and pious Férula Trueba in the epic family saga *The House of the Spirits*.
These roles were part of a remarkable run in the 1980s and 90s that cemented her status as a Hollywood powerhouse. During this period, she also created two of cinema's most memorable antagonists: the obsessive Alex Forrest in *Fatal Attraction* and the manipulative Marquise de Merteuil in *Dangerous Liaisons*. Despite her incredible body of work, Close famously holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations for an actor without a win. Her immense talent has been widely recognized elsewhere, however, with multiple Tony and Emmy
