Glenn Close goes
undercover in
Albert Nobbs
Now
that’s
a passion
project: It’s been 30
years since Academy
Award nominee Glenn
Close took the lead role
in an off-Broadway play
about a woman passing
as a man in order to
work as a waiter in 19th-
century Ireland, and 20
since she started trying
to turn it into a film.
She even cowrote the
Albert Nobbs
screenplay
(after acquiring the
rights to the short story
it’s based on). “There’s
something deeply
affecting about Albert’s
life,” Close says.
“She never stopped
continuing to move
me.” There’s a good
chance the Academy
will be moved, too.
