A box-office smash and ten-time Academy Award® nominee including Jessica Lange's win for best supporting actress, Tootsie stars Dustin Hoffman as a brash New York actor whose reputation for being "difficult" has stalled his career. When his girlfriend, Sandy (Teri Garr), fails an audition for a soap opera, Michael dresses up as "Dorothy Michaels," auditions and lands the part. He joins the cast of the long-running daytime drama "Southwest General," quickly becoming the best friend and confidante of his beautiful co-star, Julie (Lange). But it's a frustrating relationship because he soon finds himself falling in love. Unfortunately, also falling in love is Julie's father (Charles Durning)--but with "Dorothy." Michael Dorsey has finally become a star. Now if he could just tell the woman he loves.
