I agree with you. It was sort of Dustin Hoffman. They were alluding to. He was very difficult but I’ll tell you he was hotter than a pistol Hoffman. You figure did commercials in the late 5060s in the graduate Papillion midnight cowboy then here we are being 15 years old ride my bike and laughing my ass off on this movie can you guys believe it’s been 42 years And Hoffman blessed with good health cause he’s the same age as politics passed away almost 16 years ago man oh man, what a funny movie this was classic but I’ll tell you it’s even funnier when he dress up as a girl and he sits next to Pollock in the restaurant that was.comGenius But can I say one last thing there’s no way in hell Jessica Lang deserved nomination for a simple role. She was in the movie for four minutes and all she did was just so have empathy and she was so quiet how she won an Oscar is mind blowing mind blowing, but I’ll tell you hopefully Hoffman took a small amount of money and got a nice five or six points because this was the highest grossing movie of the year besides, I think ET , walked away with $20 million

I miss Sydney being in the world. Everyone who worked with him loved him. One of the maintenance guys from Warner Bros gushed over how kind he was, just interacting with him when he had to work on his office lighting. I saw this when it came out, as a teenager, and had been at a performing arts school, thinking about acting. I'm actually glad I didn't take that road. But it's fun to watch in a story like this. I worked with a secretary once, years later, who was the spitting image of Dorothy Michaels! It was hard not to giggle.

Apparently before he accepted the role Hoffman insisted on being dressed up as Dorothy and going out in public. He believed that if he wasn't believable as a woman in everyday life he could never be convincing in the film. Dressed as Dorothy, Hoffman bumped into Jose Ferrer in an elevator, and Ferrer did not recognize him even after Hoffman/Dorothy made a sexual proposition to Ferrer.

I first viewed Tootsie, with a straight friend at his suggestion after seeing trailers. After he quoted so many funny lines from the movie. His take was it was a cleverly scripted and brilliant satire. We even went to view again and still he never disparaged the premise of the movie, the gender roles etc. For hims it was just a brilliant movie with lots of satire and irony, perhaps in 1982 it was pre "politically correct".
