Charlotte (CNN) - Clint Eastwood meet Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington.

The three actresses, firmly anchored in Hollywood's royalty, have been secretly scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention, according to a tentative schedule provided by a source to CNN.

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. Johansson, Portman and Washington are listed as following The Foo Fighters on the itinerary. Convention officials announced that the alternative rock band would perform last week.

A source told CNN the hope is to have the three actresses appear on stage together.

It's unclear if the schedule has been finalized or is subject to change. When contacted by CNN, a DNC official said that no final details about the Thursday program would be divulged at this time.

CNN reached out to representatives for each actress but did not receive comment for Johansson and Portman. A representative for Washington would only say the actress is currently filming in Los Angeles.

Though several celebrities are slated to attend the DNC, appearances by Johansson, Portman and Washington would surely invite special political scrutiny.

Scarlett Johansson is a great example of how makeup and good lighting can have a huge impact.

A completely average girl.

Ah, yes, Scarlett. A Hollywood braniac who's famous for boinking elderly Sean Penn at the White House Correspondent's Dinner last year.

Who's quoted as saying "it's part of being human to be tested for STDs".

Well, at least HIV testers and, ah, DC-area biohazard-capable janitors (cough) have seen increased employment with Obama's buddies on the scene....

Scarlett was being hit on by an Obama staffer in texts in 2008.

The story came out when it almost started to sound like a sex scandal. She thought it was really Barry.

3 people who I will never purchase a ticket to see anything they ever participate in. Ever.

Exactly right. But I WILL go see Clint's new movie. All of the Hollywood obama supporters can go pound sand.

Most appropriate. Glitz and make-believe.

And I hope they’re ready to pay higher taxes that their leader has proclaimed are necessary!

The three of them AND Kal Penn don’t even measure up to Eastwood’s pinkie finger.

Ditto. Gotta be a stalwart in political circles, right? To compete with Eastwood? No? Hmmm... okay, then.

The DNC had to keep it a secret with Clinton around. He’d be in a froth and dry humping the podium if he knew Hollywood chicks were around.

Maybe Natalie Portman can repeat her claim that 9/11 was George Bush’s fault.

I wonder if Nat Portman has noticed the open hostility to her homeland (Israel) at the DNC?

I notice the Democrats did NOT manage to get Will Smith up there to declare that he needs to pony up more in taxes.

"Just DAMN!!!"
