As her show Damages begins its third season, lesbian favorite Glenn Close talks to theDaily Beast about her best career moves and of course, kissing Judy Davis.
Close said it was Davis that made her understand what it is like to be attracted to women. Referring to one of her favorite film roles in the 1995 television biopic Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story, where she shared a passionate kiss with Davis, saying the smooch "was kind of revelatory for me, a real frisson moment. I'll never forget it." ?
Close was acclaimed for her performance as Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer in the film, which revolved around the life of the highest-ranking lesbian U.S. military officer to come out as lesbian during service.
The Advocate reports the actress dished on her 13 favorite on-screen rolls and spoke openly about her love for gays. And before she played ruthless attorney, Patty Hewes, on the popular FX series Damages, Close was loving her lesbian lip locks.
Close told the Daily Beast: "That's one of my favorite things I've ever done, because Margarethe Cammermeyer was around during the shoot. She was an exacting soldier, very strict about uniform, and how you salute-everything. It was tragic that she was the one kicked out of the Army eventually, because she was homosexual. But the thing that stayed with me-I've known many, many gay people, and they're some of my best friends. We all went through the AIDS scourge, I've lost many friends, and I've always been highly sympathetic to the plights of gays, what they've had to deal with. But the scene at the end, although I was very open-minded and supportive, when Judy Davis and I had to kiss at the end, I really felt that for 30 seconds, maybe a minute, what it really, really felt like to be attracted to my own gender. It was kind of revelatory for me, a real frisson moment. I'll never forget it."
