Glenn Close wants to die in the replica of her grandparents' stone cottage that she is building

Appearing on the latest episode of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Wiser Than Me podcast, Glenn remembered: "They had this wonderful stone cottage on their farm, on their property that I think originally had been a slaughterhouse.

"But it was made into this really cosy cottage. And that was my first memory, in that little cottage.

"Stone, it had ivy on the front. It had literally a white picket fence around it, in the middle of a hay field and woods.

"So I decided when I was building this house, because I'm living my life backward, that behind the house I was gonna build a cottage, a stone cottage. Because the happiest and most inspiring years of my life was in that place.

"I have decided that I am going to end my days in that cottage."

The 101 Dalmations legend - who lives in Bozeman, Montana - added that the cottage is going to have "two bedrooms" - one for her, and the other for her eventual caretaker.

Glenn - who still feels youthful at the age of 78, admitting she feels "probably around in my 20s, maybe early 30s" - said: "And that's where I'm gonna die, happily."

Julia, 64, said she could not believe Glenn's "extraordinary" death plans, before the Oscar nominee said that renovations are happening right now.

Glenn shared: "I think the stone part is built. And I think this week they're starting the porch, there's a little porch that goes down onto a terrace that's between the cottage and the bigger house. It makes me so happy to think that."

Veep star, Julia, continued to be in awe of Glenn having more control of her life.

Julia said: "I think that's such an incredible thing to really, you call it living your life backwards, but you're really sort of in control of things in a way that most people don't get the opportunity to do.

"And I think that's extraordinary that you've been able to pull that off. And I'm just now thinking, I got to build a cottage around here for myself."
