Glenn Closeis looking back on her romantic roles.
After closing her eyes for a moment, Close replied, “Robert Redford. InThe Natural.”
She went on to lament, “I only got to kiss him once,” prompting Cohen, 56, to respond, “Only one take?”
“No, no, maybe we did two takes,” theFatal Attractionstar responded, quickly adding, “But I also threw him out of my apartment in that movie. But I ended up with him.”
Cohen then noted that she “got an Oscar nomination out of it,” referring to her Best Supporting Actress nod. The 1984 sports drama famously starred Redford, 88, as Roy Hobbs, a middle-aged baseball player who seemingly comes out of nowhere to become a legendary batter. Close played his girlfriend Iris Gaines, with whom he unknowingly shared a son.

During the segment, Cohen also asked Close — who has been nominated for eight Academy Awards throughout her career — to share which of those performances she believes was most deserving of a golden statuette at the time. She immediately answered, “All of them!” with a laugh, eliciting cheers and applause from the audience and a high-five from the Bravo star.
Her response was a cheeky nod to the fact that she has never taken home a win at the Oscars, despite being recognized for her work in such films asThe Big Chill,Hillbilly ElegyandDangerous Liaisons. In 2021, when she tied with the late actorPeter O’Toole— who also had eight Oscar nominations and zero wins — she addressed the much-publicized statistic.

She continued, “And I honestly feel that the press likes to have winners and losers. And then they say, ‘Who is the worst dressed?’ And, you know, ‘Who made the worst speech?’ Forget it. It’s not what it’s about.”
“I say, f— them!” she jokingly added.

When asked about her lack of wins earlier that same year, she saidacting isn’t about the awardsfor her.
She added, “It might be cool to never get one. I wouldn’t mind being wheeled out when I’m old and drooling, and I have a gray wig to cover my bald head.”
