However, Close expressed regret that the meeting was short.
“I only got to kiss him once,” she recalled.
“Just one move?” Cohen asked.
“No, no, maybe we did it twice,” Close recalled.
“But I kicked him out of my apartment in that movie too,” she added. – But I’m done with him.

In the 1984 film “The Natural,” Redford played Roy Hobbs, a young baseball player with a “natural” talent for the game. Hobbs’ career is derailed after he is inexplicably shot by a deranged woman, but he returns to professional baseball 16 years later and defies expectations to become one of the league’s best players.
