And there is no doubt Annie feels similarly about her mother.

And as for what she’s up to workwise these days, Glenn will be starring in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming legal drama, All’s Fair, alongside Kim Kardashian.

“I had never done a Ryan Murphy show before, which is a whole other universe,” Glenn told reporters. “I think she [Kim] would be surprised at how I was, you know, I had to find my feet. I had to kind of get to know that world and work, you know, luckily we had, we ended up it was really fun when we started, everybody, a lot of people are on their phones all the time. By the end, we would all just be sitting around, you know, talking about things. And I really, I really felt like I made wonderful woman friends. And that was, to me, a great gift.”

Glenn gushed about Kim, saying she can’t wait to see what the American Horror Story alum does next.

“I think she’s a very, very brilliant woman. Actually. I think she can choose to do anything she wants. Frankly, if she wants to be an actress, that’s one road, but she could she’s a great executive, she’s a great businesswoman,” she said. “She’s a very, very involved mother. She’s getting her law exam [sic], so I think she has huge potential and that she’s fulfilled already as a woman, and frankly, I will be fascinated to see what she chooses to do!”
