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.

I’m a weekly movie goer and have been for some time and I never heard of Kerry Washington.

I am quite familiar with the other two,but they certainly not in the Meryl Streep category.

You are barely showing a bust. Without a fuller body shot how can I reasonably pass judgement?

But, having seeing her in person before I’d say “Yeah, she looks like a movie star”.

Too bad they don’t get the irony of supporting those who their on-screen personas (which made them tons of money) would fight against.

Ummm, did I miss something? What do these people know about economics? Are they capitalists or communists?

At least Clint Eastwood knows how to create jobs via making movies that people want to go see. And he knows how to run a town. He’s not an empty chair.

An empty chair is at least useful.

They’ll have them interview an empty bank vault.

When I saw “Washington”, I presumed it was Denzell...

Isn’t Scarlett best known now for her role in the avengers? a character who routinely kicks the shit out of people with no warrant or cause? trampling on others’ rights at every turn? HAHAHAHAH! Yes, the badass role that the DEM party stands firmly against and she’s a superstar?

It reminds me of the Lib who was cheering on Jack Bauer to kick the crap out of people - but then qualified her remarks by saying it’s great to watch him get the information he needs to save the world, but I would never tolerate it in the real world. Funny. Art is more important to be true to human nature than reality.

these people truly live in a dream world where the end is written and any facts or story lines counter to their worldview are written out of the script. In short. They believe their own BS.

How appropriate. Clint brings out the empty chair, and the Dems respond by bringing out the empty heads.

No, son. She kicks the crap out of bad guys in the movies, but works for the bad guys in real life. That's the irony.

Odds makers in Las Vegas should set an over/under on the amount of times these hypocrites say the word “woman.”

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

A completely average girl.

Correction: A completely average girl with a great rack.

Those Democrats are sure jokers. They make fun of an empty chair, and respond with empty heads.
