Veteran actress GLENN CLOSE has been nominated for an Oscar five times, but will she finally get that naked golden man for her gender swapping role in “Albert Nobbs? Close, who’s played a deranged stalker, Cruella de Vil, a scheming 17th century Marquise, and even vice-president of the United States, has three Tonys, three Emmys, and two Golden Globe awards, but not that elusive Oscar…
According to current entertainment news, 64-year-old Close will be playing the title role in Rodrigo Garcia’s “Albert Nobbs, ” a 19th century Irish woman who tries to pass herself off as a man to work as a waiter in a pub.
Close, who’s as feminine as they come, had to work on her posture, her voice and her fashion choices.
“I loved Nobbs because in her ignorance, she tries to create a life for herself,”
she says of her character.
Still, this isn’t the first cross-dressing role Close has played. She had a cameo as one of the pirates in Steven Spielberg‘s 1991 fantasy film “Hook,” in which she had to “arrrr!” with the rest of them.
Is Close‘s “Albert Nobbs” performance Oscar-worthy? Take a look at this and find out…
