New York: Actress Glenn Close got mistaken for Oscar winning actress Meryl Streep while waiting in a line at the airport.

Pagesix.com reports that while Close was standing in the queue at the airport a woman fan approached her and asked, "Are you who we think you are?"

"Who do you think I am?" responded the actress. The fan then said she couldn't remember her name but thought she had been "fantastic in that Australian dog movie" - referring to "A Cry in the Dark".

Close decided to play along and replied, "Thanks, yes, I am Meryl Streep!"
