Glenn Close, 'Fatal Attraction' and the Battle Over Alex


For MEL, I did a deep dive into the history of Fatal Attraction. Specifically, I wrote about Alex, the woman who has the affair with Michael Douglas' lawyer character. "Crazy" is how she's often described. That's never how Glenn Close, who played her, felt about Alex. It's a battle she's been waging for 32 years now. On the eve of Close possibly winning the Oscar for The Wife, I wrote about Alex's complicated legacy. Hope you enjoy.
