By Lisa Respers France, CNN

It was been 35 years since “Fatal Attraction” hit movie theaters and the pop culture zeitgeist. Now one of its stars has some ideas for a planned television adaptation.

Glenn Close talked to “Entertainment Tonight” recently at the New York premiere of her Apple TV+ series, “Tehran.”

She played Alex Forrest in the film and said she will always love the character in part because “It was a very important step in my career.”

Close said she would like to see Alex get more of a story in the planned Paramount+ miniseries based on the movie.

“I hope they tell her backstory, her side of the story,” she said. “I mean, I would be flattered if it was the one that we came up with (originally), but obviously I’ll be very curious.”

Her famed character “is a human being in need of great help. She’s a fragile person,” she said.

Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan are set to star in the reboot, the premiere date of which has not yet been announced.
