Close retires from Hollywood

Actress Glenn Close has been so moved by the tragic September 11 terrorist attacks that she's shunning blockbusters and the glamorous Hollywood lifestyle to spend time with her loved ones.

The Fatal Attraction star realised how precious quality time with family and friends is, after witnessing the bereavement and mourning following the collapse of New York's Twin Towers and she has announced her decision to step away from the limelight so she can appreciate her private life.
