Why does she look like a healthy 40-year old woman in the first and like a man in the second?

Has she had anything significant done to her face? What could possibly have motivated her to do it?

Is it the hair? Is that what affects her appearance so much?

This is her in Damages (Season 1, circa 2007), looking lovely:

Is it the prominent forehead and eyebrows that gives her that masculine vibe that a full head of hair covers up?

I don't know, maybe it's just me.

I think it's the hair and the way it accentuates her forehead, plus the harsher lighting. Plus, her facial expression is much more stern and dramatic, which seems to tighten her face and make it look unnatural. She looked fine during season three, as far as I can remember.

Glenn Close wore wigs during her time on Damages, it was never her actual hair. And the disparity is quite noticeable looking at photos from the show, and photos from publicity events for the show.

Using a wig, you can easily change someone's hairline, giving it a higher or lower appearance than normal. The season 1 to season 2 change in her hair was pretty dramatic, the hairstyle really moved her hairline up - accentuating he forehead. While seasons 3-5 she had bob hairstyles that gave her a more feminine look.

Well that second picture is photoshopped to the heavens, that's why.

Her face looks the same as it has always done:

She looked like an ugly man even in Fatal Attraction.

Glenn is one of those people that can look pretty in their own way.

She was always the antithesis of the typical female beauty with her small eyes, aquiline nose and long chin. But somehow she was able to overcome those masculine facial shortcomings and look attractive like in Jagged Edge, Fatal Attraction.
