She grew up with two sisters, Jessie and Tina, and one brother, Sandy.

Although her parents, Dr. William Close and Bettine Moore Close, were both born into elite social circles, they did not raise Close and her siblings in that world.

"My parents were real black sheep in Greenwich," Close once noted.
