It's time to explore the World According to Glenn. I'm Kevin Jacobsen, Glenn Close is my favorite actress, and this show is all about exploring the career of one of the finest actors of her generation. Each episode, I'm joined by a guest as we dive into one of Glenn's movies, TV shows, or stage productions, going chronologically through her career, discussing her performance and assessing the project itself.
This week, we're covering two of Glenn's films from 1984, the TV movie Something About Amelia and the family drama The Stone Boy! Gordon McNulty from The Lone Acting Nominees Podcast and Televised: The TV Movie Story joins me to discuss the rather dated messaging in Something About Amelia, whether Glenn is the right fit for her role, and why it was such a hit at the Emmys. Then, we break down The Stone Boy and its depiction of grief through the eyes of a seemingly emotionless child, how Glenn fares as a farm gal, and why you must always #ConsiderTheStoneBoy.
