Nicole Kidman to plays world's first post-op transsexual in film...

The lovely Nicole Kidman, Oscar winner for "The Hours" and star of such films as "Cold Mountain," "To Die For" and "Moulin Rouge," will star and produce "the Danish Girl." Her role is a doozy: she will play the first post-op transsexual, married to Charlize Theron, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Reporter writes of the plot, based on the true story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener: Their marriage took a sharp left turn after Einar (Kidman) stood in for a female model that Greta (Theron) was set to paint. When their portraits become wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einer to a metamorphosis and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.

Kidman, once famously married to Tom Cruise, recently gave birth to a baby daughter by second husband Keith Urban. She's a very busy woman with the epic "Australia" set to open this month. She is also attached to play Dusty Springfield in a biopic about the bisexual English singer.
