Glenn Close Drawing Raves For New Cross-Dressing Film

Glenn Close's performance as a 19th-century cross-dressing waiter in the forthcoming film Albert Nobbs is already being touted as Oscar-caliber, but an incident in her childhood may have helped her understand the character.
Close plays an abused Irish woman who passes as a male waiter "in order to combat rampant gender and class inequality in 19th-century Dublin." The character saves his money in hopes of opening a tobacco shop and later begins to fantasize about settling down and possibly marrying an attractive maid, played by The Kids Are All Right's Mia Wasikowska.
