Glenn Close has played it off Broadway in 1982: Albert Nobbs! a girls that plays a man to work as a waiter and butler to escape poverty in Ireland in the late 19th century. After 29 years, the actress became the producer and with the help of director Rodrigo Garcia (son of the illustrious novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez) the story is now a film. Oscar buzz? You Bet! not just for Miss Close, but also for Janet McTear, magnificent as the friend that helps her to get back to her own identity.
