Glenn Close is Albert Nobbs.

This is the trailer for "Albert Nobbs," the title role of which will be played by Glenn Close. Close has been trying to get this movie made since she originally took the role on stage in 1982. This is not Close's first queer role, either. In Serving in Silence, Close played Margarethe Cammermeyer, a high ranking military officer who was given the boot for revealing (when asked) that she was a lesbian.
