Image Source: Walt Disney Pictures Glenn Close will forever be linked to Disney’s live-action 101 Dalmatians series, thanks to her unforgettable portrayal of the iconic Cruella de Vil. For those who may not remember—or may not have seen it—Close brought the fur-obsessed villain to life in 1996’s 101 Dalmatians and its sequel, 102 Dalmatians, released in 2001. Before Close stepped into Cruella’s sky-high heels and extravagant wardrobe, the character had only existed as an animated figure in Disney’s 1961 classic. Creating a live-action version of such an over-the-top villain was no small challenge. Close knew that nailing Cruella’s look was crucial to making her larger-than-life personality leap off the screen. Ever wonder what it took to bring Cruella de Vil’s signature style to life? Glenn Close spills the tea on the painstaking process behind perfecting the villain’s iconic look—right up to the very last moment before filming began.
