Mom isn’t amused. Three years after being nominated for an Oscar for her role as JD Vance’s grandmother in the film adaptation of his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, Glenn Close turns out to have eclipsed Donald Trump’s running mate.
On Sunday, Close shared a smiling selfie with her cat, Eve, and wrote that the feline “would have left a bloody mouse head on the bed of anyone who criticized any type of woman with a CAT!” Her words appear to refer to the of Vance. ” She recently reworked “childless cat ladies,” which she used to denigrate other people who choose not to procreate.

In the film, Close plays Mamaw, Vance’s grandmother, as she navigates a complicated relationship with her own daughter, Bev (Amy Adams), who is Vance’s mother.

During his victory speech after winning a seat in the United States Senate in 2022, Vance thanked his real mother, Bonnie Blanton Vance, who died in 2005, and expressed their political differences (Mamaw was a Democrat). “I agree with every single vote I take, [and] you don’t agree with every single amendment I propose in the United States Senate,” Vance said, “but I will never be the woman who raised me. “
