Give a Meryl Streep role to Glenn Close, and vice versa. Jun 6, 2021 17:21:10 GMT

Which roles would you swap for the two of them? Are there any roles from their filmographies for which you think the other was more obviously skilled?

For the Streep to Close swap, it's an easy choice for me - The French Lieutenant's Woman. Close and Jeremy Irons have such amazing chemistry (Reversal of Fortune, Broadway's The Real Thing), and Close's onscreen sexuality is off-kilter because it is at once unconventional and yet utterly convincing. I would like to have seen Glenn in more of these British period piece-type roles, too!

As for Close to Streep... Hm... This one is much more difficult, as you obviously can't say that Streep has had a lack of opportunities. I love Close's Cruella de Vil, but I'm sure Streep would have had just as much fun with it.

How about you?

I was thinking Close would have been a more obvious choice for The Witch in Into the Woods, too.

K. Is there a role of hers that you’d prefer to have seen Close in, and vice versa?

Really? For me it’s impossible to imagine that film without Close, as it was she who willed it into being.

It's not that I don't like Close in it, she's great. I'm just curious how Meryl would deliver in such a role. She would, I'm sure.
