Tootsie

Tootsie

1982

Few out-of-work actors go as far as Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) does to bag a part. He transforms himself into everything he isn't: sweet, employed and ... a woman! When his alter ego, Dorothy Michaels, gets cast in a soap opera, Michael has reason to celebrate. But he also has a problem: He's fallen for co-star Jessica Lange, who doesn't know Michael is male!

Little did this desperate, out of work actor know when he secretly auditioned for a female role that he'd become the hottest star on television. Not even the girl he's madly in love with knows that he's Tootsie.
