Actress Glenn Close made a surprise appearance at the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on August 15, performing in character as Cruella de Vil. The 79-year-old star wore a replica of the iconic outfit from the 1996 film '101 Dalmatians,' featuring a black-and-white wig, a red-and-black fur coat, and a matching pillbox hat.
During her appearance, Close confirmed that the upcoming ‘Villains Land’ at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, will feature an attraction inspired by the character. While speaking in character, she joked about the development of a Maleficent-themed roller coaster and expressed interest in her own themed ride, quipping, ‘Let’s go work on my ride. Yes, and all the cars will be full of little dogs.’
