EXCLUSIVE: Glenn Close On Being Bisexual, Doing a Man
'Albert Nobbs' actress talks gender-bending role and the possibility of her going lesbian - in real life

Man, Glenn Close feels like a woman, but she sure doesn't look like one in her new gender-bending movie. In "Albert Nobbs," the actress - known especially to gay audiences for her role in the 1995 film "Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story," about a real-life lesbian soldier - drops her voice a few notches, wears a top hat and wraps her torso in a girdle, all to keep her job while living in late-19th century Ireland.

The role earned her a Golden Globe nomination (damn Meryl Streep), also awarded to her costar Janet McTeer for playing Hubert, a cross-dressing lesbian who's living the life that Albert so desperately wants.

In a recent one-on-one, Close revealed her proudest part of the film, how she thinks Albert identifies sexually and looked back at her unexpected bisexual role on "Will & Grace."
