    Glenn Close relied on her "active imagination" to overcome her childhood challenges

    The 77-year-old actress was a member of the Moral Re-Armament - an international moral and spiritual movement - during her childhood, and Glenn has recalled relying on her imagination in order to resist the group's ideology


    The Hollywood star - who moved to Switzerland as child, in order to be closer to the group's headquarters - said on the 'Today' show: "From a very early age, when we were running feral in the Connecticut countryside, I always had an incredibly active imagination.

    "I could take myself out of situations sometimes with my imagination, and not let it get into me as deep as it might have.

    "I think that's what literally kept me on course of doing what I wanted to do at a very early age, which was be an actress."

    Glenn previously confessed to resenting her parents for exposing her to the Moral Re-Armament, which actually dissolved more than two decades ago.

    But over time, the actress came to understand their line of thinking.

    She told PEOPLE: "I've learned more and more about them and more about what their situation was and how vulnerable they were at certain times."

    Glenn - who ultimately left the group at the age of 22 - thinks her parents were oblivious to the "devastation" that it might cause their kids.

    The 'Fatal Attraction' star - whose acting career has spanned more than five decades - said: "I think I really understand why they were so vulnerable to a group like that. Not knowing the devastation that it would cause their children."
