    Glenn Close feels like an "outsider" in Hollywood

    The 77-year-old actress has starred on stage and screen for more than five decades, but Glenn still doesn't feel like she truly belongs in Hollywood circles


    She told 'Today': "I still feel like I'm an outsider.

    "I still feel there's caverns of the unknown in me and I'm still waiting for the roles that demand everything 'cause they're few and far between."

    Glenn stars alongside Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in the new Netflix movie 'Back in Action', and she relished the experience of working with them both.

    The veteran actress shared: "It's very important who you spend your time with, you know? It's just as important as what's written on the page, is who you leave home for. That's the way I look at it. Life's too short."

    Glenn played a psychotic ex-lover in 1987's 'Fatal Attraction', and she regards the movie as a turning point in her career.

    The actress explained that the public came to see her in a new light after the film was released.

    She said: "I think it was the first time people realised I could be sexy."

    Glenn has never felt comfortable with the idea of living in Hollywood, and she's now surrounded by her family in Montana.

    The movie star previously told Glamour magazine: "I've never felt that I could live in Hollywood, because I think I've just envisioned myself kind of shrivelling up, or never even going out of my house. That I didn't have a wardrobe for it or something. But I had the wardrobe for the Village in New York. So I just basically stayed in territories that I felt comfortable in.

    "And now I'm living full-time in Montana, having my entire family here, which is unbelievable, that it's worked out this way. So I feel like I do my work and then I just come home."
