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, we're covering the Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie Sarah, Plain and Tall! Writer Karen Peterson joins me to discuss our childhood memories of the film, Glenn being deeply involved in the creative process, how the movie adapts Patricia MacLachlan's children's book, and why the film continues to be a beloved classic.
