GlennClose refused 'Air Force One' scene that made her vice president character look weak

Air Force Oneabout her illustrious career for a video posted Wednesday, the Oscar-nominated actress discussed playing Vice President Kathryn Bennett to Harrison Ford's President James Marshall.

In the film directed by Wolfgang Petersen, Air Force One is hijacked by a group of terrorists. Marshall, his family and assorted staff are aboard. Bennett is in Washington overseeing and commanding the situation. "One thing I remember, they had a scene around that table where she broke down crying. And I said, 'I will not do that. I don't think that would happen. Not my vice president. My vice president would not break down into tears. She would step up to the challenge,'" Close said."So they changed it."

The actress says she loved playing the tough, confident, steady-hand Bennett who is loyal to Marshall as others attempt to seize power amid the chaos of him fighting against the hijackers. In reality, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif, just made history as the first female VP-elect alongside President-elect Joe Biden.

I think she is really a he.

Great movie and she was great in it.

I always thought women were equal with equal emotions

Women are not supposed to be portrayed as weak mentally or physically... emotional, nurturing, understanding, caring, loving BUT NOT WEAK!!!

i remember people gasping in the theater when she was revealed as the vp. Nearly 23 years later we have a female vp.
