Glenn Close divorces husband of 9 years David Shaw

The 68-year-old actress and venture capitalist David, her third husband, ended their marriage quietly over the summer, with Glenn moving back to New York City while David remained at their home in Maine.

Glenn Close and David Shaw are divorced after 9 years of marriage [Wenn]. She was married to Cabot Wade in the late 1960s and James Marlas in the 1980s.

The couple divorced over the summer, Close’s rep confirmed to The Times on Thursday, adding that the divorce “was mutual and amicable”. She stated that men are benefited by the nurturing of women, but women don’t get much of the same from men.

The Oscar-nominated actress, who won a Tony Award for her performance as Norma Desmond on Broadway 20 years ago, will reprise the role at the Coliseum next year. ‘I think of men and women as two different species. Not a bad idea’. Close and Shaw had no children, but Close already has one daughter, Annie Starke, from her 1987-1991 partnership with producer John Starke.

Close – who has an apartment on Central Park West and a home in Westchester – has been philosophical about marriage in the past. “She did not divorce him”. She is reuniting with John Malkovich for the first time since 1988 in “Wilde Wedding“, shooting this month.

The actress recently finished filming dystopian drama She Who Brings Gifts – adapted from MR Carey’s novel The Girl with All the Gifts – with Gemma Arterton and Paddy Considine.
