Sean Penn's transformation into Harvey Milk...

This is an image that appears in Vanity Fair of Sean Penn in character as Harvey Milk from the upcoming drama "Milk."

I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie, directed by Gus Van Sant and currently in post-production. The movie tells the story of California's first openly gay elected official - a San Francisco supervisor who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone by San Francisco Supervisor Dan White.

The film is set for limited release in the U.S. on Nov. 26.
