Emma Stone’s Childhood Dream Was To Be Scantily Clad In Alan Cumming’s Presence Apparently

When she's not hanging out in trees with McLovin, Emma Stone is busy assuming the mantle of America's Sweetheart. Everyone, myself included, just loves this feisty redhead with the slight sibilant problem, and her latest project finds her fulfilling a childhood dream: Playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret on Broadway.

In an interview with Vanity Fair (link below), Stone says that playing this character, one which garnered Liza Minelli an Oscar for the 1972 film version and brought Natasha Richardson a Tony in 1998, was something she's wanted to do for a long time.

“I’ve wanted to play Sally Bowles since I was 10, when I saw Natasha Richardson in Cabaret,” says the 26-year-old Broadway newcomer, who earned a 2010 Golden Globe nomination for Easy A. “Rob Marshall”—co-director, with Sam Mendes, of the current production—“said to me that Sally is like Hamlet for women.”

Alan Cumming, who has finally returned to the one role he's good at for this revival of the revival, expounded upon why so many women are drawn to the role.

“It’s unusual for young actresses to get such completeness in a role. Sally is vulnerable, tragic, funny, unlikable, heartbreaking. And then she gets whacked across the face with an epiphany.”

Stone adds, “I don’t think I’ve ever been so truly obsessed with a character or a story. I can’t believe this is actually happening!”

Whatever you want to call it, I'm just glad it gives her the opportunity to be so scantily clad.
