Kate MossKate Moss is set to play one of Dusty Springfield’s early lesbian lovers in the new film about Dusty’s life.

Charlize Theron is expected to play the chanteuse in the film directed by Ang Lee.

A source from the film has told ITV.com: “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.”

Following in the biographical footsteps of Ray and Walk the Line, the film will follow Dusty from her London childhood to her early death from breast cancer in 1999.
