Millennials will recall that she played a phenomenal Cruella de Vil in the live-action 101 Dalmatians film adaptations, being a fur-crazed Dalmatian connoisseur. And before that, Close earned Oscar nominations for her portrayals as Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons and Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction. That being said, moviegoers should be thrilled to see her upcoming transformation into Drusilla Sickle for the highly anticipated Hunger Games prequel, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, premiering on November 20, 2026. Drusilla is a ruthless escort of District 12, taking unfortunate tributes to the Hunger Games, in most cases marching them to their doom. She is cold-hearted, but for moviegoers, that's likely to make for an entertaining watch. Especially, when you see the bold new transformation of Close for the role.

Her smile is simply haunting. She literally looks like an entirely different person. Take a look for yourself.
