Close rejects classic beauty standards

The 79-year-old actress stated she does not consider herself a classic beauty. She described her nose as big and bulbous, joking that it might meet her chin soon. Close noted that film beauty typically features small noses and large eyes like those of Rose Byrne.

Actress finds fashion shows difficult

She called attending fashion shows her personal hell and admitted she has never had a personal style. Her daughter, Annie Starke, possesses the style that Close lacks. The actress explained that she feels like an unfinished character without costumes.

Lighting helped secure Oscar nod

Close credited specific lighting techniques for her success in The Wife. She said she would not have received an Oscar nomination without the way she was lit. Proper lighting allowed viewers to see her eyes looking into two other eyes.
