Glenn Close = adult Samantha?


Do you think Glenn Close is the adult version of Samantha? She mentions her father at the cemetery and his line about the baggage one carries in life. Is that something Ian McShane said in his segment? The way she described her father with such fondness and the fact that he seemed to be an iconoclast, both in her version and in his segment,
made me wonder if that's the missing link. What do you think?

Unless Samantha changed her name to Maggie later in life (possible), I doubt it.

I agree with that. The part that gave it away for me was when Glenn Close was crying and saying "I'm so tired"- that's what Samantha's mother had said in the Samantha segment.
If you want to take it further you can also say that the older version of Samantha (Glenn Close) is going to the cemetery with her "inner child". In the Samantha segment she was very much parentified, taking care of both of her parents...the grave yard scene was like her taking care of the little girl lost in her.

It was not Samantha. Her name was Maggie.
