The View Key Art

Wednesday’s The View is reaching for some serious star power with a double dose of Hollywood royalty. First up is eight-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close, who’ll be discussing her film Back in Action. Close, known for her commanding presence both on and off screen, should offer some insightful commentary on her latest project.

Joining her is legendary songwriter Diane Warren, whose work has graced countless films and earned her a reputation as a hit-making machine. Warren is also the subject of a new documentary, Diane Warren: Relentless, which will likely be a topic of conversation.

With two such accomplished figures on the panel, it will be interesting to see how the co-hosts—Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro—manage the conversation. Will they dig into the creative processes of these two icons, or will the focus remain squarely on their current projects? Either way, it’s a lineup that’s sure to draw a crowd.
