It's hard to look at stunner Nicole Scherzinger and think of Norma Desmond (she's playing her in a new production of the musical version of Sunset Boulevard), even though: √ She's actually 45, while Gloria Swanson was just 50 when she shot the movie. √ Gloria Swanson was gorgeous, too, even if she read as an older woman in a way Nicole does not.
I wish I could see this! I just hope to fucking God she doesn't get the movie; Glenn Close is now 76 (!) but still feels more right for the part, considering how differently we view aging.
