* AndStarring: She's credited this way for ''Film/MaryReilly''.



* AwesomeDearBoy:[[invoked]]
** She jumped at the chance to play a "Disney witch" when ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996'' came along.
** She signed on to do ''Film/MarsAttacks'' when she heard Jack Nicholson would be her husband, and she'd get killed by the falling Nancy Regan chandelier.
* CastTheRunnerUp:[[invoked]] She really wanted to play Meg in ''Film/TheBigChill'', but was offered the role of Sarah instead.



** She's also not particularly happy about stigmatising mental illness with her role in ''Film/FatalAttraction'', and later helped set up a mental health charity.

to:

** She's also not particularly happy about stigmatising mental illness with her role in ''Film/FatalAttraction'', and later helped set up a mental health charity. In fact, she's spoken about how she'd like to see a remake from Alex's perspective, and feels that she would not be seen as a villain.
* FakeBrit:[[invoked]] As both Cruella de Ville in ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996'' (where she patterned her voice off Joanna Lumley in ''Series/AbsolutelyFabulous'') and ''Film/MaryReilly''.


Added DiffLines:

* PlayingAgainstType:[[invoked]] ''Film/FatalAttraction'' marked a departure for her, as most of her characters beforehand had been warm, motherly figures. Afterwards, she was often typecast as villains.


Added DiffLines:

* WagTheDirector: A scene in ''Film/AirForceOne'' had Kathryn breaking down crying at one point. Glenn however felt that "my vice president" wouldn't, and would instead play the IronLady, so it was changed.

* AssumedWin: The 2019 Academy Awards was seen as Close's absolutely "for sure" Oscar coronation. Her turn in ''The Wife'' had won her a Golden Globe, Critic's Choice and Screen Actor's Guild award and over 90 percent of Oscar procrastinators picked her as the solid victor. Instead, in a stunning upset, Creator/OliviaColman took the Oscar for ''Film/TheFavourite'', who even apologized to Close during her speech. Even worse, Close was wearing a golden dress that night, which many believe was intentionally meant to make her look like an Oscar.
