Daily Inspiration Quote by Anthony Anderson

Calling Glenn Close a "living icon" is less a hot take than a ritual act: Anthony Anderson is performing reverence in a culture that too often treats veteran actresses as legacy props instead of active forces. The key word is "living" - a small but pointed pushback against the way Hollywood tends to canonize women only once theyve been safely frozen into nostalgia. Andersons praise insists on presence, not just pedigree.

The more revealing move is the pivot from generic admiration to a specific, almost nerdy claim: Dangerous Liaisons as her best work. That specificity does two things. First, it signals taste. Anderson isnt merely name-checking an awards-friendly resume; hes staking out a critical position, aligning himself with a performance that is icy, controlled, and morally intricate rather than big and sentimental. Second, it reframes Close outside the usual Greatest Hits conversation (Fatal Attraction, The Wife) and back into the craft-forward space where her power really lives: precision, restraint, and menace delivered with surgical elegance.

Then theres the gentle intimacy of "thats what I believe as well". Hes not quoting her to defer; hes matching her self-assessment, joining her in a shared reading of her own career. Subtext: real respect listens, and it takes an actor to recognize an actors chosen benchmark. In a celebrity ecosystem built on hype, this is admiration with receipts - and a quiet argument about what kind of work should define greatness.
