Who doesn't love Glenn Close? The gifted actress known for her memorable roles in films like Fatal Attraction and The Big Chill has shown her versatility and dramatic flair over and over again on the big screen. Nominated for an Academy Award eight times, she has never taken home one of the coveted competitive golden statuettes. Now 79, Close traded in the bustle of Hollywood for a quieter life in Montana. And it seems like she is loving it. Furthermore, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is finally bestowing Glenn Close with an honorary Oscar. She will receive it at the 17th Governors Awards on November 15, per People.

However, Close's mantle is far from empty. Per IMDb, the Connecticut native has nabbed three Primetime Emmys, three Golden Globes, and scores of other prestigious professional accolades.
"I Feel Blessed"
Glenn Close made a brief video that she posted on Instagram about her serene life out west. She is standing outdoors, admittedly clad in her dear mama's shirt. The wind is gently ruffling her hair. She seems very content to have dispensed with the glam and the glitter of Tinseltown. "I feel blessed," Close declares. The actress even gets a bit teary-eyed. The pace of life there amidst gorgeous natural scenery suits her quite well.
