Going Hollywood - Movies and Television from the Golden Age to Today

Roll,“Tootsie," Roll.

Brad Shreve & Tony Maietta Season 1 Episode 18

S01 E18 In the 1982 classic film "Tootsie," Dustin Hoffman's character, Michael Dorsey, transforms into Dorothy Michaels. Brad and Tony dive into how Hoffman's incredible performance blurred the lines between character and actor, making Dorothy Michaels an unforgettable icon.

Discover the tumultuous yet creative relationship between Hoffman and director Sidney Pollack, and the initial inspiration for the film. In addition, they would have been remiss if they didn't include the rest of the stellar cast in the conversation.
