Making its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, 'Albert Nobbs' features a jaw-dropping performance by Glenn Close as a woman passing for a male waiter in 19th-century Dublin that will surely garner her sixth Oscar nomination. The star opens up about her 29-year passion project, feeling uncomfortable in her skin, and the time she was indoctrinated into a cult.

"I don't always feel comfortable in my own skin," says Glenn Close, sporting a polar fleece and jeans in the back room of a saloon in Telluride, Colorado. She pauses briefly, before unleashing a nervous chuckle. "I've always characterized myself as somebody who's put together with Scotch Tape and paper clips."

I think that should be the Hollywood quote of the year! :laugh:
