Which American titaness do you prefer? I think Fonda has more onscreen magnetism when she's acting at a lower register, she has an ability to slip into the skin of an everywoman but still make her organically compelling. Glenn OTOH is capable of hitting more thunderous dramatic notes that Fonda probaly couldn't pull off with the same gusto. All in all I think Fonda has shown slightly more shades as a performer but it could really go either way between the two.

I am weird with this because Close to me, even though she's not a personal fave is just an insane worker - she'd never take 15 years off like Fonda did. She has conquered all 3 mediums which is a big deal to me - she's admirable. But Fonda is more my type as an actress - she comes from that generation that changed American acting in the late 50/early 60s - when a whole bunch of actresses did for each other what Brando/Clift had done for the men a decade earlier.
.........and I love Fonda in such diverse stuff as Fun With Dick and Jane AND Spirits of the Dead like my movie relationship with her covers more films and kinds of films.

Allenism - 100%. It's Close's best performance since Dangerous Liaisons.

Glenn Close. I love Fonda too. I just find myself being more floored by Close's performances.

it's close (heh) but I have to give this one to Jane whose breadth of work overall is more impressive and interesting to me.

Love Fonda but I pick La Marquise. She has a more diverse career.

Love them both but I prefer Fonda's acting abilities, Fonda's body of work, Fonda's body in general I always adored her.

Personally it's the reason I voted for Fonda.

Personally it's the reason I voted for Fonda. Well, Fonda hasn't done anything near that level of quality since the 80s, but to each his own!

She's not a favourite of mine, but at her best she's top drawer. Still, I do feel like The Wife was an over wrought misfire. When Close finally takes her career worthy Oscar, I would like it to be for something better.
