Calpernia’s Old Pal Nicole Kidman to Play Transsexual

Calpernia, Nicole Kidman and Andrea James at the AFI 100 Celebration
Well, well, well… I guess we must have rubbed off on her. I’ve been reading here and there that Nicole Kidman, who has also moved to my hometown of Nashville, will play famous transsexual Lili Elbe. Lili is known as one of the first people to undergo genital reassignment surgery, and there is some talk that she may have had intersex characteristics. I suppose I’ll have to read the book The Danish Girl, but from the synopsis I’ve read it seems that photographer Gerda Wegener asked her then-husband to stand in for a female model by wearing “stockings and heels” and he was hooked. I must admit, the trifecta of late transition, married and “stockings + heels” leaves some questions in my mind, but Nicole’s interpretation of the idea should be interesting to watch, whatever really may have happened.

In any case, it should be interesting.

I'm reading the script now for the Danish Girl. It seems like it will be a great movie.

I’m a third of the way through the script and maybe sometimes we should know more about something we comment on besides what we read in a synopsis.
So far the script is following the book fairly well. There are some great scenes here, especially to imagine them between Nicole Kidman and Charleze Theron.

I only said I had questions… I know issues of this kind are harder to handle than nitro glycerine in the community, but I don’t ever want to be afraid to have questions.
