theroncharlize

Do you have some of the milkiest, whitest skin the Northwest has ever seen? Has any underminer ever given you the backhanded compliment that you look like Charlize Theron were she noticeably fatter? If so, you could be in a movie opposite Viggo Mortensen, according to a recent ad in a Portland paper.

Anybody ever tell you that you look like Charlize Theron . . . especially if Theron were four months pregnant?
If so, then Portland's Lana Veenker Casting Co. would like to see a photo of you — your full body and swollen tummy, as well as your face — as soon as possible. Veenker is looking for someone to play Theron's double next month when a movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Road," begins filming in Portland.
The Academy Award-winning actress is scheduled to play the wife of actor Viggo Mortensen. With such a high-caliber cast, no fake pregnant bellies would do.
To be considered, you need to have milky-white skin and radiant blond or dirty-blond hair. You need to stand a regal 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 and normally wear an envied size 6 or 8. Having Theron's sultry eyes and full lips may be optional depending upon the demands of the scenes but certainly won't hurt your chances.

Don't worry, prudes: if chosen, there'd be no nude scenes. Compensation is $125 per day. So what are you waiting for, Oregon blonds with "envied" figures? Start eating and stop using birth control.

    I think the envious sizes referred to are of the dress/clothing variety. A 5'11" woman with size 6 feet would have unfortunate, albiet hilarious, balance issues.

    I'm sure you hate that. So does Mr. Canary. I just can't help myself.

    I call bullshit on the job. Given that description, someone at Lana Veenker has preggo Theron fantasy issues.

    Huh? I just read this book last week. There are, at most, two or three paragraphs of flashbacks where the wife appears.
