There are a few bad choices that, if you make them, you are automatically forced to re-examine your life. Here’s one: if Glenn Close publicly chastises you for taking a photo in the middle of a Broadway show, you’ve got a lot of thinking to do. Per Page Six, during a Thursday performance of Sunset Boulevard, Close saw someone taking photos and immediately called across the audience to put a stop to it. In doing so, she took a page from fellow Broadway royal Patti LuPone. But more on that later.

Breaking from her character of Norma Desmond, Close shouted:

“I’m sorry. Stop the show. Someone there is taking photos. You must know how distracting and disrespectful that is.”

Then, like an experienced parent, Close gave the theater-goer options for how the rest of the night could go:

“Now, we can have a show or we can have a photoshoot.” Then, she went on with the performance: “O.K., let’s take it from the top.”

Now that we’ve fully imagined that iconic scene, let’s get back to LuPone. During a July 2015 performance of Shows for Days, LuPone snatched a cell phone from an audience member. Without breaking character, the Broadway legend whisked by the texting woman, grabbed her phone, and continued the show. “I should be a sleight-of-hand artist,” she told The New York Times later.

So who knows: maybe their mutual loathing of cell phones was the key to them setting aside their long-standing Broadway feud. When he took his show to New York in the mid-1990s, Sunset creator Andrew Lloyd Webber passed over LuPone, who originated the role of Norma Desmond on the West End, for Close. As the Times noted in 1994, Webber simply paid LuPone a hot $1 million in court to break her already-signed Broadway contract. He moved on with Close, who now, 23 years later, is reprising the role on the New York stage. In turn, LuPone used the million, bought a pool at her Connecticut home, and named it the “Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial Pool”—if you’ve seen Sunset, you'll catch the true morbid meaning there.

Earlier this month, Andy Cohen brought up the famous feud to LuPone on Watch What Happens Live. LuPone was quick to direct the blame to Lloyd Webber and said all she ever got from Close on the topic was “silence.” She and Lloyd Webber never did repair their relationship, she added. But in 2011, when both LuPone and Close honored Broadway staple Barbara Cook at the Kennedy Center Honors, they repaired their unspoken but nearly 20-year-old rift.

“As luck would have it, I sat at Barbara’s table with everybody else who was performing for Barbara, and there was an empty seat right next to me, and Glenn Close came and sat down right there . . . And she said, ‘I had nothing to do with [the Sunset controversy]’, and we hugged, and I thought, ‘Holy shit.’ It’s that easy that you can get rid of years of that anxiety.”

Maybe, too, when they exchanged that hug, one whispered to the other, “And don’t you just hate cell phone use in theaters?” Just maybe.
