Glenn Close gave Disney fans a moment they will not forget.
The 79-year-old actress reprised her role as Cruella De Vil on Saturday, August 15, during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. As per the official video shared by Disney, Glenn walked onto the stage with her back to the crowd, and when she turned around in full character, the audience erupted in cheers and applause.
Staying completely in character, Glenn pointed out that if Maleficent gets her own ride, she deserves one too. “Let’s go and leave these two to work on the opening of my ride,” she said before exiting the stage.

Glenn first brought the 101 Dalmatians villain to life in the 1996 live-action film, then reprised the role in 102 Dalmatians in 2000. Emma Stone later took on the character in the 2021 prequel exploring how Cruella became so evil.
