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, Substack writer/Glenn superfan Mark O'Donovan joins me to discuss Glenn's Oscar-nominated performance in her passion project, Albert Nobbs! We delve into the film's reputation among critics in the last 15 years, its divisive approach to feminism and transness, how Glenn's performance differs from anything she's ever done before or since, and so much more!
