Show Notes
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, writer/editor Joyce Eng joins me to dive into Glenn's fun turn as a no-nonsense managing editor in Ron Howard's 1994 dramedy The Paper! We discuss Glenn's hilariously simple approach to the character, how the news industry has changed drastically since 1994, the terrific ensemble cast, why the film would work well as a TV show, and so much more!
