My Encounter With Glenn Close! I Was Shaking!

She wasn't someone to tangle with.

But when I spotted her sitting at a benefit dinner I was covering, I gamely requested a quickie interview.

The publicist ran over to Glenn and put in the request, then came back to me and said, "Fine. But only innocent questions."

Huh?

I had no idea what that meant.

My questions have never committed a crime in their life!

They've all been declared "not guilty" by courts of law!

Well, most of them.

So I crawled over to Glenn with a mixture of anticipation and fear.

I was crackling with excitement to meet this incandescent star, but was desperate to not offend the woman since I make a point of keeping every deal I agree to.

"I bet you have no innocent questions," she said to me, with a twinkle.

She seemed only half-joking, if at all.

I was thrilled. It meant she'd read my work!

"Well," I responded. "Have you ever had sex with a dead animal?"

Kidding!

I didn't get up the nerve to go that Borscht Belt on her.

I simply asked her a boring question about the charity we were celebrating and she gave me an earnest answer.

And I left, thoroughly impressed with her control mechanisms.
