Bob Geldof's daughters Peaches, Pixie half sister Tiger Lily

11-year-old daughter Tiger Lily could be on the verge of snaring a role in a major Hollywood film.The youngster has reportedly been shortlisted to play the title role of Eloise in a film based on the 1950s children's books by Kay Thompson.

Tiger Lily and 10 other young actresses were shortlisted after the movie's producers scoured schools in Britain, the US and Canada.

Hollywood actress Uma Thurman has already been cast to play the nanny in the film.

"Eloise has to be sassy, streetwise and extremely lovable, although she has a naughty side,'' an unnamed source close to the film told the Daily Mail newspaper.

Final auditions for the starring role will be held next week, the paper added.

Tiger Lily was adopted by rock star Bob Geldof after she became an orphan following the deaths of Hutchence in a Sydney hotel room and her mother, Paula Yates - Geldof's former wife - from a drug overdose.
