Portman and Izzard Vie for "Cabaret" Lead

If you had to choose someone to play the iconic character Sally Bowles from Cabaret, who would you pick: tiny, adorable Natalie Portman, or cross-dressing comic Eddie Izzard? Sounds strange, but the two are vying for the same roll in the London stage production of Cabaret. Of course, Portman maintained the lead.

A theatre source tells British newspaper Daily Express, "Eddie is an inspired choice and looks great in women's clothes - but he's unlikely to go down well with purists. Yet as a Hollywood star, Natalie's incredibly bankable and she's an accomplished dancer. She's also much prettier."


While Eddie may look great in woman’s clothes, Natalie is hotter without them. Sorry, Eddie
