Appearing on the podcast Wiser Than Me, hosted by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, actress Glenn Close revealed she has a clear idea on how she wants to spend the final days of her life and the story goes back to her grandparents’ slaughterhouse.
“[My grandparents] had this wonderful stone cottage on their farm, on their property that I think originally had been a slaughterhouse,” she recalled.
“But it was made into this really cosy cottage. And that was my first memory, in that little cottage. Stone, it had ivy on the front. It had literally a white picket fence around it, in the middle of a hay field and woods.”
Stone decided to build such a stone cottage behind her house, “because the happiest and most inspiring years of my life was in that place.”
Louis-Dreyfus said Close’s plans for her death are “extraordinary,” with Close confirming that renovations on the cottage have already begun.
“I think the stone part is built. And I think this week they’re starting the porch,” Close shared. “There’s a little porch that goes down onto a terrace that’s between the cottage and the bigger house. It makes me so happy to think that.”
The Knives Out star added: “I have decided that I am going to end my days in that cottage.”
However, while she may be making plans about her final years, Stone also revealed that she doesn’t feel her age. The actress, who is 78, said she feels younger than she is in reality. “Oh God, I feel probably around in my 20s. Maybe early 30s,” she said.
“When I think of how old I actually am, it just amazes me,” she shared. “So I don’t think about it much.
“Cause I don’t think i fit into whatever people expect you to be like when you’re 78 years old.”
