Kate Moss is set to play a lesbian in a biopic about singer Dusty Springfield by "Brokeback Mountain" director Ang Lee reports Ananova.

Moss is expected to play a socialite who became one of her early lovers. Charlize Theron is lined up to take on the role of Springfield in the film which will follow the Dusty's life from her birth in Hampstead, north London, to her death from breast cancer in 1999.

A source claims that "Kate's the ideal choice to play the love of Dusty's early life. She's beautiful, aloof and she epitomises swinging London. There'll probably be sexual scenes but as Ang is behind the camera they will be very tastefully done. Kate's character breaks Dusty's heart and sparks off the chain of tumultuous relationships that dogged her throughout her life".
