Tootsie

Michael Dorsey is an actor who has the talent of never being able to keep a job. Desperate, Michael makes one last effort to make his dreams come true… by disguising himself as an actress. Now renamed Dorothy Michaels, her rise is meteoric and the public falls at her feet. Meanwhile Michael (disguised as Dorothy) falls in love with his co-star, Julie. It won't be long before Michael realizes that sustaining his greatest acting success will be much more difficult than he expected.
