From September 1978 to April 1979, Glenn appeared on Broadway in ''[[The Crucifer of Blood]]'' playing the part of Irene St. Claire, with [[Paxton Whitehead]] and [[Dwight Schultz]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.playbill.com/production/the-crucifer-of-blood-helen-hayes-theatre-vault-0000004470|title=The Crucifer of Blood (Broadway, Helen Hayes Theatre, 1978) &#124; Playbill|access-date=April 21, 2023|archive-date=April 21, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230421180139/https://www.playbill.com/production/the-crucifer-of-blood-helen-hayes-theatre-vault-0000004470|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1979, she filmed the television movies ''[[Orphan Train (film)|Orphan Train]]'' and ''[[Too Far to Go]]''.

Her last major stage role before beginning her motion picture career was playing Chairy, the female lead in the Broadway musical ''[[Barnum (musical)|Barnum]]'', from April 1980 to March 1981.<ref>{{cite web|website=IBDB|url=https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/barnum-3949#OpeningNightCast|title=Barnum|accessdate=May 1, 2024|archive-date=May 1, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240501043054/https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/barnum-3949#OpeningNightCast|url-status=live}}</ref>

===1980s: Breakthrough and rise to prominence===
The 1980s proved to be Close's breakthrough in Hollywood. In 1980, director [[George Roy Hill]] discovered Close on Broadway and asked her to audition with [[Robin Williams]] for a role in ''[[The World According to Garp (film)|The World According to Garp]]'', which would become her first film role, as well as her first [[Academy Award]] nominated performance.<ref name="makers">{{cite web|url=http://www.makers.com/glenn-close|title=Glenn Close|access-date=August 28, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170302034408/http://www.makers.com/glenn-close|archive-date=March 2, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> She played [[Robin Williams]]'s mother, despite being just four years older. The following year she played Sarah Cooper in ''[[The Big Chill (film)|The Big Chill]]'', a character that director [[Lawrence Kasdan]] said he specifically wrote for her. The movie received positive reviews and was a financial success. Close became the third actor to receive a Tony, Emmy, and Oscar ([[Academy Award]]) nomination all in the same calendar year after the release of ''The Big Chill''. Also in 1980, she received her first [[Tony Award]] nomination for her performance in the musical ''[[Barnum (musical)|Barnum]]''.

In 1984, Close was given a part in [[Robert Redford]]'s baseball drama ''[[The Natural (film)|The Natural]]'', and although it was a small supporting role, she earned a third consecutive Oscar nomination. Close, to this day, credits her nomination to cinematographer [[Caleb Deschanel]], stating "That hat was designed so the sunlight would come through. We waited for a certain time of day, so the sun was shining through the back of the stadium. And he had a lens that muted the people around me. It was an incredibly well thought-out shot. And I honestly think that's the reason I got nominated."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.ew.com/gallery/glenn-close-reflects-10-roles/518384_natural-1984|title=Glenn Close Reflects on 10 Roles|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|access-date=August 25, 2016|archive-date=November 14, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161114001558/http://www.ew.com/gallery/glenn-close-reflects-10-roles/518384_natural-1984|url-status=dead}}</ref> Close also starred opposite [[Robert Duvall]] in the drama ''[[The Stone Boy (film)|The Stone Boy]]'' (1984), a film about a family coping after their youngest child accidentally kills his older brother in a hunting accident. She continued to appear in television films in the following years, beginning with ''[[The Elephant Man (1982 film)|The Elephant Man]]'', and in 1984, she starred in the critically acclaimed drama ''[[Something About Amelia]]'', a television film about a family destroyed by sexual abuse. She won her first Tony Award in 1984 for ''[[The Real Thing (play)|The Real Thing]]'', directed by [[Mike Nichols]].

Eventually, Close began to seek different roles to play because she did not want to be typecast as a motherly figure.<ref name="Close">{{cite news|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/01/24/glenn-closes-13-favorite-movie-roles.html|title=Glenn Close's 13 Favorite Movie Roles|last=Close|first=Glenn|date=January 24, 2010|newspaper=The Daily Beast|access-date=August 20, 2016|archive-date=September 22, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160922051512/http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/01/24/glenn-closes-13-favorite-movie-roles.html|url-status=live}}</ref> She starred in the 1985 romantic comedy ''[[Maxie (1985 film)|Maxie]]'', alongside [[Mandy Patinkin]].

Initially, [[Jane Fonda]] was attached to the role, but was replaced with Close when she requested changes in the script. Producer [[Martin Ransohoff]] was against the casting of Close because he said she was "too ugly" for the part. Close eventually heard about this and said she didn't want Ransohoff on set while she was making her scenes. Director [[Richard Marquand]] stood by her side and sent Ransohoff away. Infuriated, Ransohoff went to the studio heads trying to get Close and Marquand fired from the picture. The studio refused, stating they were pleased with their work in the film.<ref>{{cite book|title=Hollywood Animal|last=Eszterhas|first=Joe|publisher=Hutchinson|year=2004}}<!-- ISSN/ISBN needed --></ref> ''Jagged Edge'' received mixed-to-positive reviews and grossed $40-million on a $15-million budget.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/jagged-edge-1985|title=Jagged Edge Movie Review & Film Summary (1985)|last=Ebert|first=Roger|website=rogerebert.com|access-date=August 26, 2016|archive-date=August 16, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160816180323/http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/jagged-edge-1985|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1987, Close played the disturbed book editor Alex Forrest in the psychological thriller ''[[Fatal Attraction]]''. The film became a huge box-office success, the highest-grossing film worldwide of that year. The film propelled Close to international stardom and the character of Alex Forrest is considered one of her most iconic roles; the phrase "bunny boiler" has even been added to the dictionary, referring to a scene from the movie. During the re-shoot of the ending, Close suffered a concussion from one of the takes when her head smashed against a mirror. After being rushed to the hospital, she discovered, much to her horror, that she was actually a few weeks pregnant with her daughter. Close stated in an interview that, "''Fatal Attraction'' was really the first part that took me away from the Jenny Fields, Sarah Coopers—good, nurturing women roles. I did more preparation for that film than I've ever done."<ref name="Close"/> Close received her fourth Oscar nomination for this role, her first in the leading role<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1988|title=The 60th Academy Awards - 1988|date=December 4, 2015|access-date=January 19, 2018|archive-date=March 19, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220319085619/https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1988|url-status=live}}</ref> and also won the [[People's Choice Awards|People's Choice Award]] for Favorite Motion Picture Actress.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

In 1990, Close went on to play the role of [[Sunny von Bülow]] opposite [[Jeremy Irons]] in ''[[Reversal of Fortune]]'' to critical acclaim.

Close stated that she made the right move because television was in a "[[Golden Age of Television (2000s–present)|golden era]]" and the quality of some programs had already risen to the standards of film.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2006/may/20/features.weekend|title=Move over Hollywood|last1=Patterson|first1=John|date=May 19, 2006|last2=McLean|first2=Gareth|newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|access-date=January 27, 2017}}</ref> [[John Landgraf]], CEO of [[FX (TV channel)|FX]], stated that network was the "first to bring a female movie star of Glenn Close's stature to television."

In 2007, she appeared in the same film as her previous co-star [[Meryl Streep]] in the ensemble drama ''[[Evening (film)|Evening]]''. This would be Close's final theatrical film role of the decade, since she began to star in her own television series, ''[[Damages (TV series)|Damages]]'' (2007). Close was asked about her contributions to independent films, to which she responded "I love the casts that gather around a good piece of writing certainly not for the money but because it is good and challenging. Sometimes I've taken a role for one scene that I thought was phenomenal. Also my presence can help them get money, so it's I think a way for me to give back."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/glenn-close-whiplash-director-revel-709773|title=Glenn Close, 'Whiplash' Director Revel in Rewards of Risky Indie Film Biz at Sundance Benefit|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|language=en|access-date=January 27, 2017|archive-date=February 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202052156/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/glenn-close-whiplash-director-revel-709773|url-status=live}}</ref> Shortly after her stint on ''The Shield'', Close was approached by [[FX (TV channel)|FX]] executives who pitched a television series for her to star in. Also in 2007, Close began a five-season run playing the ruthless and brilliant lawyer [[Patty Hewes]] on ''[[Damages (TV series)|Damages]]''. Her portrayal of this character was met with rave reviews and a plethora of [[List of awards and nominations received by Damages|award nominations]], in addition she went on to win two consecutive [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series|Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series]].<ref name="Joyce Eng">{{cite news | author=Joyce Eng | title=Kristin Chenoweth, Jon Cryer Win First Emmys | url=https://www.tvguide.com/News/Kristin-Chenoweth-Jon-1009931.aspx | work=TVGuide.com | date=September 20, 2009 | access-date=September 20, 2009 | archive-date=September 24, 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090924170357/http://www.tvguide.com/News/Kristin-Chenoweth-Jon-1009931.aspx | url-status=live }}</ref> Close's win also made her the first Best Actress winner in a drama series at the Emmy's for a cable show.

In December 2010, Close began filming ''[[Albert Nobbs]]'' in [[Dublin]]. She had previously won an [[Obie Award|Obie]] in 1982 for her role in the play on stage. She had been working on the project, in which she appeared alongside ''101 Dalmatians'' co-star Mark Williams, for almost twenty years, and aside from starring in it, she co-wrote the script and produced the film.<ref>BWW Staff.

And I said, 'No I won't.' Some people will change their point of view, and those who are either too old, or too blinkered, to accept the beauty of difference will just have to 'die off'."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/kiri-westby/albert-nobbs_b_1292338.html|title=Glenn Close's 'Albert Nobbs' Brings Transgender Identity To The Red Carpet|last1=Changemaker|first1=Kiri Westby|last2=Rulebreaker|date=February 23, 2012|website=The Huffington Post|access-date=August 20, 2016|last3=Storyteller|archive-date=September 17, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160917101512/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kiri-westby/albert-nobbs_b_1292338.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In the film, Close played the title role of ''Albert Nobbs'', a woman living as a man in 19th century Ireland after being [[Sexual assault|sexually assaulted]] as a young girl.

While the film overall received mixed reviews, Close's performance received critical acclaim, as it was noted for being the most subtle and introverted of her career to that point and a departure from her previous roles. When asked during the film's awards campaign about the fact of not having an Oscar, Close said: "I remember being astounded that I met some people who were really kind of almost hyper-ventilating as to whether they were going to win or not, and I have never understood that. Because if you just do the simple math, the amount of people who are in our two unions, the amount of people who in our profession are out of work at any given time, the amount of movies that are made every year, and then you're one of five [nominees].
