Portman, Johansson & Washington to Speak at DNC

According to a tentative schedule provided by a source to CNN, actresses Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington are set to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC. 

The schedule lists the three actresses as speaking on Thursday evening, the same night that President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will accept their party's respective nominations. The trio will take the stage following a performance by The Foo Fighters.

A DNC official told CNN that no final details about Thursday's program would be revealed at this time. Representatives for Johannson and Portman declined to comment on the report, while a Washington rep said the actress is currently filming in Los Angeles. All three of the popular, award-winning actresses represent the exact targeted demographics that the party hopes to win over; women and young voters.

Portman won an Academy Award in 2011 for her role in "The BLACK SWAN." Johansson's film credits include "Lost in Translation," "A Love Song for Bobby Long" and "The Other Boleyn Girl." Washington currently stars in ABC's hit show "Scandal" and has appeared in the films "For Colored Girls," "The Last King of Scotland" and the Ray Charles biopic, "Ray."
