On a balmy New York evening last spring, Ralph Lauren held his Fall/Holiday 2024 show at his Madison Avenue design studio. Leave it to Ralph to install country-clubby mahogany paneling and handsome leather upholstery in a modern, all-glass Manhattan office building. I was interviewing the legendary Glenn Close backstage, and I mentioned we were marking more than a half-century of Ralph Lauren.
"This September, I will have been a working actress for 50 years," she replied wistfully. She put her hands up to make air quotes and smiled. "Thank God!" Then, transforming into Sunset Boulevard's Norma Desmond, she turned to the production folks filming our chat and asked if they could switch the cameras to highlight her good side (her right) and improve her lighting.
"I'm sorry," she implored, then declared, "Actually, no, I'm not." Truly iconic.But then, that's Glenn. Her work has spanned five decades across stage and screen and has earned her three Tonys, three Emmys, and a trio of Golden Globe awards.
(She's been nominated for eight Oscars but has not won. Yet.) As a tween, I fell in love with her devilish and stylish Cruella de Vil in 1996's 101 Dalmatians. In high school, I went to Blockbuster to rent her older films, like The Big Chill (1983) and Fatal Attraction (1987), to watch on my parents' sofa on Friday nights and relish her dramatic range. (The term "bunny boiler" is still in the lexicon.) In 2017, I took my mom to see Glenn in Sunset Boulevard on Broadway for her birthday. We waited at the stage door for her to sign copies of Playbill-mother-gayson bonding at its finest. Give this woman the lighting she deserves, people!

On PERFORMANCE
I met Cynthia Erivo over 10 years ago, when she first moved from London to New York and ended up becoming my neighbor. I always knew she would go on to do amazing things, and I can think of no one more fitting to celebrate on the cover of our Performance issue, as audiences gear up to take her in as Elphaba once more in Wicked: For Good. I have always been struck by the way Erivo can come off as both delicate and larger than life—or, as Jazmine Hughes writes in her cover story, “able to put both her strength and her softness on display.” This manifests in the photos too, shot by Cass Bird and styled by Yashua Simmons, portraying a performer at the peak of her powers, glamorous and self-assured and vulnerable all at once.

DWANA SMALLWOOD, NOVEMBER 2000
“A GREAT DANCER uses movement as a poet uses words. The grandest and slightest gestures—a head thrown back, a leg held high—illuminate the spirit and the heart.” That was how writer Elizabeth Kaye described the art of dance in an essay that accompanied a portfolio titled “Fast Company” in the November 2000 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. Photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, the story showcased six performers who were making their mark on the dance world at the turn of the 21st century—among them, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater principal Dwana Smallwood.
