She played a scheming aristocrat, the Marquise de Merteuil, in 1988's "Dangerous Liaisons". Close earned stellar reviews for this performance, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. In addition, she received her first BAFTA nomination but did not win. Close's final film role of the decade was "Immediate Family" (1989), a drama about a married couple seeking to adopt a child. Producer Lawrence Kasdan had Close star in the film, as he directed her previously in "The Big Chill".
