## Caption

Lee Daniels discusses directing Glenn Close in #TheDeliverance:

"I don’t think she understood the woman at first. I think what was great for Glenn was a quarter of the way through this shoot, I told her to gain weight, and then I told costumes to take in the outfits. So she’s like, 'Wait a minute. What? What? What? What? What? There’s cellulite.' And I said, and Mo’Nique and the African American women on the set said, 'This is how we roll.' There is a sense of body positivity that she had been unaware of because of the tropes of Hollywood, and there was a freedom she said she felt. She talks about this publicly and, to me, that was the biggest compliment, that she was able to walk away with a sense of freedom that a lot of Black women wear regularly."
