Cruella Devil - 101 Dalmatians - Glenn Close

Ask Cruella how she's feeling and she'll reply with extravagant glee, "Miserable, darling, as usual. Perfectly wretched." And that's the way she likes it. Fur coats are her only love in life. She adores fur, "absolutely lives for it," and the fur she lives for today is the spotted variety -- dalmatian, that is. Roger and Anita's dalmatians. "Such perfectly beautiful coats," she purrs as she plots, thinking how much better those spots would look on her. Who cares if Pongo and Perdita's tiny pups are rather attached to that fur -- or that they're not for sale at any price? She'll do whatever she has to do to get those beasts and their coveted coats. And once in her evil hands, those puppies must never leave "Hell Hall" alive. Cruella may live for fur -- but the pups, well, she doesn't give much thought to them.

In Disney's 1996 live-action remake of the animated film, 101 Dalmatians, and its 2000 sequel, 102 Dalmatians, Cruella was played by Glenn Close. The film reinvented Cruella yet again, this time as the magnate of a couture fashion house, "House of De Vil", which specialised in fur couture.

Cruella DeVil is like the Lady Gaga of Disney.

I feel Meryl Streep would be too icy for this role. Glenn Close is just perfect - insane, loud yet hot!!!

[canalrebelde]

@KyleOgilvie1 I was thinking that, too. But, in fact, she is much more obsessed thank Miranda.

[canalrebelde]

She kept in my mind until that day with this role... She's really fantastic!

[AngelofMusic04]

@purplefrf Well, she did play Norma Desmond on Broadway, so I'm sure she probably drew some inspiration from both hers and Gloria Swanson's portrayals.

I want her office.

Best Villian Ever! <3

She may be an animal murderer ....but girlfriend is fierce. I want those pumps she's wearing.

[moviehypno23]

[KyleOgilvie1]
