…at least, she’ll be playing one in the talkies. Nicole Kidman has been cast as the world’s first post-op trans woman, Denmark’s Einar Wegener. Einar’s story begins in the early 20th century and continues to the 1930s, when Einar underwent surgery to become a woman. Charlize Theron is set to play Einar’s wife, Greta.
Einar Wagner later died during an operation to transplant a uterus into her body.
Who wants an Oscar?!?!

Maybe I’m influenced by Theron’s previous work as a lesbian; but when I read this item I kept thinking it would have been more appropriate for Theron to play the M2F and Kidman to play the wife…
2 superstars = oscar buzz. Go them both! :=)
This’ll be incredible and thanks to nicole and charlize for shining a bright light on the stuff that happens in transgender-sexual lives!!
