Glenn Close is sharing one of the things she found most shocking about her 1987 thriller Fatal Attraction.
As PEOPLE previously reported for a digital cover, the 78-year-old actress and her cast mates of the new Ryan Murphy legal drama All’s Fair held a screening of the movie at star Kim Kardashian’s mom Kris Jenner’s home. Jenner — who served as an executive producer on All’s Fair — hosted the screening after Kardashian revealed she’d never seen the film.
In an interview on The Graham Norton Show, Close recounted that upon a rewatch, she realized her body had been more visible than she remembered.
“I hadn’t seen it in a very long time,” Close told Norton of Fatal Attraction. “I mean, memories flew back into my mind, especially I didn’t know that I showed my breasts so much. I mean, they weren’t anything spectacular to see, but they were visible.”

Close also spoke about the rewatch for PEOPLE’s recent digital cover, saying it had been “a very long time” since she’d seen the film.
“I shocked myself,” she said. “It was wonderful to realize that the movie holds up incredibly well. In fact, I think there’s almost a whole cultural shift since that movie came out. It was a very special evening.”
Kardashian, 45, also weighed in on the film, telling PEOPLE, “It was insane, from the outfits to the boobs to the—,” to which Close interrupted: “I like that she says outfits first.”
Kardashian added that the most fun part of watching the film was hearing Close’s commentary on what she remembered most about each scene.
“I remember I went to go use the restroom, and they paused it because something was coming,” says Kardashian. “It was just so fun to hear commentary of exactly what was happening and scenes that made her nervous or excited.”
In the film, Close plays Alex Forrest, a woman who becomes obsessed with Michael Douglas’ Dan Gallagher after they have an affair. Close was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for her role in the film.
