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, AwardsWatch editor-in-chief Erik Anderson joins to discuss Glenn's instantly iconic performance as Patty Hewes in the pilot of Damages! We delve into the significance of a movie star of Glenn's caliber agreeing to star on a drama series in the late 2000s, how the heightened theatrics of the pilot sets up the rest of the series, how Patty Hewes is a synthesis of Glenn's great performances that came before, and so much more!
