“It will be my zen farmhouse and our family retreat. There will be a stone house in the back that will remind me of the best years of my childhood.”

In 2021, Close spoke with Mountain Outlaw about leaving New York for Montana a year before the world came to a standstill due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I shot a movie in Canada during the winter. It was fun and beautiful, but I was homesick and I was never homesick.

“When I was little, I found solace in nature and that has never changed,” Close said. “I’ve always tried to create the same potential for my family, especially now to come back here and be with my siblings and have a piece of land outside the city that will always be here for my daughter and her children.”

“It’s my legacy,” she added.

At the time, Close explained that her years in Montana were the “best” years of her life.

“You can wake up at four in the morning and think you’ve made all the wrong decisions in life and then stay up until dawn, which is an incredibly deadly place to be,” said the award-winning actress. “I just feel incredibly lucky. I think these are going to be the best years of my life.”

Close’s life was not always so peaceful. The “Hillbilly Elegy” star was notorious as a member of the Moral Re-Armament cult.

GLENN CLOSE SAYS CULT RAISE LEFT HER MENTALLY TRAUMATIZED

During Close’s interview with the WSJ, she explained that her “world changed” when she was seven and her family joined the cult. It wasn’t until 1970, when Close was 22, that she broke away from the cult.

Moral Rearmament, also known as MRA, was a religious movement that began in the 1920s when a man named Frank Buchman began evangelizing and became successful at it. Some of the beliefs he extolled were the importance of surrendering oneself to a higher power and the practice of solitary silence. Over the years it has attracted thousands of followers from numerous countries.

When world war loomed over the planet, Buchman decided to call the group Moral Re-Armament, explaining that he planned to use spirituality to unite the world and bring peace. The group’s critics scoffed at its simple vision, but others fell in love with it. One of those people was Glenn Close’s father.

After joining the group, he went to work in Africa, while Close and her siblings were stationed in Switzerland at the MRA headquarters. In an interview with in 2014 The Hollywood Reporterthe actress described in detail the strict rules and manipulations that took place behind the scenes.

“Basically you weren’t allowed to do anything or you were made to feel guilty for any unnatural desire,” she explained. “If you talk to anybody who’s been in a group that basically dictates how you should live and what you should say and how you should feel, from the time you’re seven to the time you’re 22, it has a profound effect on you. It’s something what you have to do [consciously overcome] because they are all your trigger points.”

In an interview with in 2021 prince harry and Oprah Winfrey, she explained, saying, “It was really awful. We were so torn apart. It’s amazing that something you go through so early in your life still has such potential to be destructive. I think it’s childhood trauma .

“Everyone said the same things and there were a lot of rules – a lot of control. Because of the way we were brought up, anything you thought of doing for yourself was considered selfish,” she explained.

In 1970, when Close was 22, she left the group but continued to fight.

“I would have dreams, because I didn’t go to any psychiatrist or anything like that,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I had these dreams, and they started with betrayal, feeling betrayed, and then they developed into me being able to look at these people and say, ‘You’re wrong. You’re not right.’ And then the last incarnation of those dreams was my ability to calmly get up and walk away, and then I didn’t have them anymore.”

Close continues to act. Her latest project, “Back in Action,” includes Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Kyle Chandler. The Netflix film debuts on the platform on January 17.
