Angela Bassett Pays Tribute to Chadwick Boseman and Shares Oscar… Well, it was a little exciting, Libby Alexander says of being portrayed by Glenn Close in a film about her life. Even though the story is not the story that you would want your life portrayed as. But we do want the story portrayed, because recovery happens. And it was exciting to see Glenn Close playing me. I never thought that would happen in my whole entire life.
The film is
Four Good Days, which stars Close as Deb and Mila Kunis as her heroin-addicted daughter, Molly. After her latest detox, Molly finds a hope at sobriety in an opioid antagonist which would curb her craving and prevent her from getting high but she must not get high for the four days before the injection. So, she turns to her mother to help fight her demons, and despite a decade of grief, betrayal and trauma, Deb agrees.

Libby Alexander is impressed by how much of herself she recognizes in Glenn Close’s performance in “Four Good Days,” a powerful new movie about drug addiction.
The Farmington Hills mother says she spoke remotely for about 30 minutes to the Oscar-nominated actress, who wanted to hear her voice patterns and gauge her reactions to certain situations.
“When you see the mannerisms, everything, (I was) like, Oh my God, how did she do this?, says Alexander, 60, of Close s acting.
Her daughter, Amanda Wendler, 35, agrees. I thought I was watching my mom onscreen,” she says.
For the two women, seeing versions of themselves in Four Good Days wasn t always easy. The film, available starting Friday via video on demand, is an unblinkingly honest journey through a daughter s quest to stop using heroin after multiple failed attempts at rehab and a mother s struggle to trust her daughter again.
