Glenn Close Posted From Home. After Dolly, It Doesn’t Feel Casual

Maybe Glenn is just checking in to say hello to fans. Obviously, she is enjoying some time away and isn't in her Hollywood glam. None of us look our best when we are hanging out at home. Maybe we are all just overreacting because the loss of Dolly is so fresh, but this just feels like losing another legend. 

Glenn Close is 79 years old. She looks beautiful, a real human being with a face full of life and experience, she’s wearing her mom’s shirt and feeling the breeze.

There’s a sickness to expecting women to look 30 or under forever, no matter how weird/fake/robotic the effect. https://t.co/6E1WDN1xvv

I know Close’s politics are nothing like mine. I still try to keep some joy in my life and leave politics out of the movies I watch. Too many actors these days won’t let the audience do that. They insist on becoming campaign surrogates instead of entertainers. I’ve loved Close in so many of my favorite films, so I’ll hold on to those memories and ignore the ill-informed comments she makes on subjects she has no business lecturing anyone about.

For me, it’s not simply about them being celebrities. It’s what they represent. Mainly an era of my life that’s now over. As these stars age and pass, it’s not just a reminder of my childhood being gone, it’s a reminder that I have aging parents that aren’t gonna be with me…

This is a good way to look at it. It’s far less about the actress and more about what the movies represent in our lives. It was a favorite with a best friend, a first date, a break from studying for finals, or a fun outing after a day at the beach. It was the movie you went to when you were home from college on break, or the one you flipped on for background noise while you nursed a new baby.

The reason we are hit so hard when a particular celebrity dies is that the celebrity may have been with us our entire life.

Always in the background. In a movie. A TV show. A song. A headline. And now popping up on our timelines on social media.

Yes, we don't know these people. Our lives will go on. It still feels like a loss. Hopefully, Close is well and this was just a strange video.  

Kevin Costner did one of these too. None of them are going to survive this.

Tbf I did a goodbye video yesterday too. I haven’t posted it & instead saved it in my vids because I didn’t want to get 911 called on me. But I did it because we don’t know when our last day is. And I wanted those that care about me know what I hope to leave behind when I do go.

None of us is promised another second.

Tell the people you love that you love them.
Apologize if you need to.
And thank God — always—for everything He has done for you.
