JD Vance’s ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ Mamaw Glenn Close Is Not a Fan

Glenn Close played Mamaw who raised JD Vance in the film adaptation of his book, but has steered clear of criticizing him—until now.

Glenn Close played Vance’s Mamaw in the film adaptation of his book, but has steered clear of criticizing him—until he called her—all women— “crazy cat ladies.”

Glenn Close has come out in defense of “childless cat ladies,” as Republican VP nominee JD Vance called them, with an Instagram post that cheekily references the Ohio senator’s comments.

“Eve would have left a bleeding mouse head in the bed of anyone who criticized any kind of lady with a CAT!” the 77-year-old Oscar nominee posted on her Instagram page Sunday, along with a photo of herself and her cat, Eve. Close played Vance’s “Mamaw” in the 2020 film adaptation of his memoir Hillbilly Elegy alongside Amy Adams, who played his mother. The self-declared cat lady is not, however, “childless.” Her grown daughter Annie Starke is an actress who has appeared as a younger version of her mother in multiple films.

Vance made his deeply divisive comments in 2021 during an interview with Tucker Carlson, saying, “We are effectively run in this country by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they wanna make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
