During Close's interview with the Wall Street Journal, she explained that her “world changed” when she was seven years old and her family joined the cult. It wasn't until 1970, when Close was 22, that she broke with the cult.
Moral Rearmament, also known as MRA, was a religious movement that began in the 1920s when a man named Frank Buchman began proselytizing and achieved success in it. Some of the beliefs he promoted were the importance of surrendering oneself to a higher power and the practice of solitary silence. Over the years, it has attracted thousands of followers from a number of countries.

The group's critics scoffed at its simplistic vision, but others became fascinated by it. One of those people was Glenn Close's father.
After joining the group, he left to work in Africa, while Close and her siblings were placed in Switzerland at the MRA headquarters. In a 2014 interview with Hollywood ReporterThe actress detailed the strict rules and manipulation that happened behind the scenes.

In 1970, when Close was 22, she left the group but continued to struggle.

“I would be dreaming, because I didn't go to any psychiatrist or anything,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I had these dreams, and it started with betrayal, feeling betrayed, and then it progressed to being able to look at these people and say, ‘You're wrong. You are wrong.’ And then the final manifestation of those dreams was my ability to quietly get up and walk away, and then I no longer had any dreams.
