(ABOVE: Glenn Close plays a man in her new film Albert Nobbs.)
Instead of complaining about the lack of meaty roles for older actresses, Glenn Close has gone out and nabbed a leading MAN part.
The 64-year-old actress plays the title character in upcoming film Albert Nobbs.
Glenn isn't the only actress to don male clothing for a role -- Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Swank and Angelina Jolie have all manned up for a movie.
Here are our favorite women dressed as men:
Angelina Jolie donned male clothes in Salt.
Cate Blanchett became Bob Dylan in I'm Not There.
Keira Knightley disguised herself as a man in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Julie Andrews played a man and a woman in Victor Victoria.
Barbara Streisand won an Oscar for playing a man in Yentl.
Gwyneth Paltrow also won an Oscar for dressing as a man in Shakespeare in Love.
Hilary Swank played a transgender man in Boys Don't Cry.
Tilda Swinton played a young nobleman in Orlando.
Katharine Hepburn wore men's clothing in Sylvia Scarlett.
Young actress Amanda Bynes played a boy in She's the Man.
Lady Gaga has a male alter-ego called Jo Calderone (left).
(Okay, so, Gaga's not technically an actress, but . . . too bad, she's on the list. =P )
