Throughout her storied career, actress Glenn Close has collaborated closely with costume designers to help bring the characters she embodies to life. Inspired by the creativity and craftsmanship she saw in her film and theater productions, she began collecting and preserving costumes and accessories from her projects after her first movie, The World According to Garp (1982). In 2017, she donated her over 800-piece collection to the Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection in the School of Art, Architecture Design at Indiana University.

First presented at the Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University in 2020, The Art of the Character: Highlights from the Glenn Close Costume Collection will offer visitors a unique opportunity to thoroughly explore the careful consideration and exacting details that teams of designers, drapers, and other craftspeople created in over 50 ensembles and numerous examples of jewelry, shoes, and other accessories. It will feature the work of award-winning costume designers, including Anthony Powell (1935–2021), Ann Roth (b. 1949), James Acheson (b. 1946), and Alexandra Byrne (b. 1962), and costumers like Barbara Matera Ltd (active 1968–2001), from 14 of Close’s best-loved movies.

This exhibition is organized by Telfair Museums in partnership with the Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection at the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture, and Design of Indiana University.

Savannah’s Lady In Mourning was run down by a trolley in front of St. John’s Cathedral in 1886. She’d just left her day at the grist mill. Some cite that the force of the trolley wheels across her neck caused her head to fly into the church itself. Probably just an urban legend. Laid to rest in Laurel Grove Cemetery’s Stranger Section, Doctor Buzzard raised her restless spirit up and put her to work telling ghostly tales of her time and our’s for that’s the price of being a lost soul and only you can give her more peace in her grave by letting her lead you through Savannah’s mean, haunted streets. Her followers receive download access to the Savannah film, “America’s Most Haunted City,” and of course, a gris-gris bag straight from Doctor Buzzard
