Life's a drag?

From the BBC website:

The life of variety show entertainer Danny La Rue is to be dramatised in a new film.

The BFI-funded screenplay has been written by Martyn Hesford, who created the BBC Four biopic Fantabulosa, about Carry On actor Kenneth Williams.

It will examine La Rue's "complex web of relationships" with his manager and partner Jack Hanson and close companion and costume designer Annie Galbraith.

Renowned as a female impersonator, La Rue died of cancer in 2009, aged 81.

Born Daniel Patrick Carroll, the performer was once described by Bob Hope as "the most glamorous woman in the world".

He was hailed as a ground-breaking star as he took his drag act into the mainstream and was the first female impersonator to perform for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance.

But who on earth will they get to play Danny?

He was fond of playing on his butch Cockney upbringing, so what about Ross Kemp?



He was a tall, commanding figure, so maybe Clive Owen?



Of course, he was a consummate female impersonator - so what about Sean Bean?!



I wait with bated breath...
