Glenn Close is reprising one of her most iconic stage roles, playing Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard." Close first took on the role 22 years ago. She says, "I'm always in for a challenge and this is the most challenging role I've ever had in my career." 69-year-old close still has all of her original costumes, wigs, and props from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. The musical is based on the film by Billy Wilder, which features the iconic line, "All right Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." Sunset Boulevard will premiere at the Palace Theatre on Broadway, accompanied by a 40-piece orchestra.
