What ‘surprised’ Glenn Close about working with Kim Kardashian on...
Glenn Close confessed to being taken aback by Kim Kardashian’s professionalism on the set of “All’s Fair.”
“What surprised me was Kim’s seriousness of intent,” the Golden Globe winner told Variety of working with the reality star on the critically panned series.
“She always knew her lines. She never was late. She always was prepared,” Close continued.
“She had no pretensions that she was a great actress, but she was smart enough to have people around her who she could learn from.”

Close, 78, also noted the SKIMS founder’s humble attitude while filming the Hulu legal drama, which also features Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson and Niecy Nash.
“If she was a big ego or what I call a ‘life-is-too-short person,’ I would have been unhappy, but she’s not,” the Oscar nominee explained.
Page Six has reached out to a rep for Kardashian.
Of her own experience, Close said she was “intimated” by working with Ryan Murphy — the mastermind behind series including “American Horror Story,” the 12th season of which Kardashian, 45, appeared in.

“I’d never been in a Ryan movie or show. … I didn’t understand the tone for a while,” Close shared, adding, “I found it hard.”
In a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, threw a fun-filled “Fatal Attraction” viewing party so the show’s cast could view one of Close’s most iconic movie roles.
Despite the off-camera camaraderie, the show suffered from brutally negative reviews across the board.
At one point, it showed a stunning 0% critical rating on review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes, though it now stands at 3%.

Kardashian — who, despite fervent intentions to become a lawyer in real life recently failed the bar exam — dealt with the disappointing reviews by taking to social media to poke fun.
“Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?” the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” personality captioned an Instagram upload earlier this month. “All’s Fair streaming now on @hulu and @disneyplus.”
Rather than joke about it, Close defended the show, which revolves around high-powered divorce attorneys in Los Angeles.

“I personally think that the first three episodes were the weakest,” Close told Variety.
“That was a tough way to start. I’ve seen all nine episodes, and I think it actually adds up to something.”
Close added, “The Kardashians would say this themselves, but not everybody likes them. They have an image.”
