Glenn Close's Memorable Kiss with Robert Redford That Left a Lasting Impression
Glenn Close, one of Hollywood's most respected actresses, has always been known for her powerful performances across a variety of iconic films. However, when she was asked about her "best onscreen kiss," her response made headlines and captured the hearts of fans everywhere. During her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen , Close was put on the spot in the show’s “Plead the Fifth” segment, where she was asked to reveal which Hollywood heartthrob gave her the most unforgettable kiss on-screen.
Without missing a beat, the 77-year-old actress named Robert Redford as the actor who made a lasting impact on her. She fondly recalled their kiss in the 1984 sports drama The Natural , where she played Iris Gaines, and Redford starred as Roy Hobbs. Close didn't hesitate for long, closing her eyes momentarily before revealing that it was indeed Redford who stole her heart on set. The kiss was brief, but it left its mark. "I only got to kiss him once," she said with a slight chuckle, adding that they might have done two takes. Of course, she also humorously noted that in the film, her character eventually kicks Redford’s character out of her apartment, before ultimately ending up with him in a romantic finale.

It’s clear from her words that Close holds that moment with Redford in high regard, as the chemistry between the two was undeniable in The Natural . The film, a timeless classic, is filled with romance and tension, but it’s their connection that stands out to Close, even after all these years. And who can blame her? Redford's charm and magnetic presence have been adored by fans for decades.
Though the kiss was short-lived, the movie's end saw Close's character happily reunited with Redford's, a resolution that many fans still remember fondly. But what made the moment even more special for Close was the recognition she received that same year: an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. It was a bittersweet combination of success and fleeting moments, a perfect metaphor for her career—filled with memorable roles, but somehow still eluding that elusive Oscar win.
As Close reflected on her long and storied career, which includes an astounding eight Oscar nominations, she responded humorously when Cohen asked her which of her nominated roles deserved to win the most. "All of them!" she replied with a smile. It’s clear that Close doesn’t view her nominations as a disappointment but as a testament to her exceptional range as an actress. From Fatal Attraction to Dangerous Liaisons and The World According to Garp , her work has left an indelible mark on the cinematic landscape.
While Close's time with Redford may have been brief in The Natural , the memory of their kiss has certainly stuck with her—and with us. The two stars are a reminder of the magic that can happen when powerful performances and undeniable chemistry collide on-screen.
