Annie Starke Recreates Glenn Close's 1988 Pregnancy Photo

On March 8, Annie Starke celebrated International Women's Day by sharing a touching Instagram post that recreated a classic pregnancy photo of her mother, Glenn Close, taken in 1988. The post features a black-and-white image of a pregnant Close alongside her mother, followed by a similar photo of Starke with her own baby bump and Close looking on affectionately.
