I actually didn't know that she was originally offered the part but turned it down because she was sick of playing bullies.

To me it feels like a wasted opportunity because she certainly fit the role better than Streep did. How do you think she would've fared?

Plus, for whatever reason, I can see her having amazing chemistry with Tucci.

No, I don't think so. I feel Close would have taken the character to more farcically comical places - Streep's calibrated intensity was so, so effective.

Why do you think Close fits the role better than Streep?
