During a boozy sleepover, All’s Fair costars Kim Kardashian and Glenn Close watched Fatal Attraction for the first time, with a “wasted” Close sharing Hollywood’s juiciest secrets from the iconic 1987 film, from tequila-fueled scenes to keeping her character’s famous costumes.
In a crossover moment that has Hollywood buzzing, reality television icon Kim Kardashian recently revealed a surprising “sleepover” with legendary actress Glenn Close. The occasion? A first-time viewing of Close’s iconic 1987 psychological thriller, Fatal Attraction. What started as a casual movie night among All’s Fair costars quickly escalated into an evening of unfiltered Hollywood tales, courtesy of a “wasted” Close.
Kardashian, who is making her acting debut in the upcoming Hulu series All’s Fair, shared the candid details during an interview on The View, where she was joined by fellow cast members Niecy Nash and Teyana Taylor. The revelation that Kardashian had never seen the classic film first emerged on the season premiere of The Kardashians, a fact her mother, Kris Jenner, even highlighted in front of Close on the All’s Fair set, according to Entertainment Weekly.
A Boozy Deep Dive into a Classic Thriller
The “sleepover” proved to be anything but ordinary. “The night started off with some drinks,” Kardashian recalled, setting the stage for Close to uncork decades of cinematic history. “Let me tell you, Glenn was wasted. So, she was spilling every tea!” This impromptu tell-all offered a rare, intimate glimpse into the making of one of Hollywood’s most enduring thrillers, directly from the star herself.
As Fatal Attraction played, Close provided a running commentary, pausing scenes to share hidden details and personal anecdotes. Kardashian recounted Close saying things like, “Wait, pause it. I needed a pitcher of tequila before. It was hiding at the bottom. If you look close enough in the elevator scene…” This level of detail has sent classic film enthusiasts into a frenzy, eager to rewatch the film with fresh eyes, searching for these newly revealed nuances.
Behind the Scenes with an Oscar Icon
Fatal Attraction, directed by Adrian Lyne, was a massive critical and commercial success upon its release in 1987. It garnered six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and a highly celebrated nod for Close as Best Actress for her unforgettable portrayal of Alex Forrest, a character who became synonymous with obsessive passion. The film’s significant impact on popular culture and its critical acclaim are well-documented, as seen in its multiple nominations at the 60th Academy Awards.
Among the many fascinating tidbits shared by Close was her connection to the film’s iconic wardrobe. Kardashian mentioned that Close revealed she “got to keep three of her most iconic looks from the film” after production wrapped. For fans of costume design and film history, this detail is particularly exciting, underscoring the deep personal and professional connection Close maintained with her complex character.
The Prank Call That Almost Was
The fun didn’t stop with the “tea.” Niecy Nash chimed in during The View interview, revealing a hilarious detail from the end of the night. “At the end of the night, we were supposed to prank call Michael Douglas,” she said, referring to Close’s costar in Fatal Attraction. However, the plan was thwarted by their tipsy state: “We got too tipsy and forgot!” This lighthearted anecdote perfectly captures the camaraderie and relaxed atmosphere among the All’s Fair cast, bridging generational gaps in Hollywood.
A New Era for Classic Film Appreciation
This “sleepover” event highlights a fascinating intersection of classic Hollywood and contemporary pop culture. For many long-time fans of Fatal Attraction and Glenn Close, hearing these behind-the-scenes stories is a treasure trove of information, adding new layers to a film they thought they knew intimately. It also introduces films like Fatal Attraction to a new audience, potentially sparking fresh appreciation for classic cinema among viewers who might be tuning in for Kim Kardashian’s acting debut in All’s Fair, which streams November 4 on Hulu.
