Tootsie = Epiphany
Good catch, David. Now, step away from the keyboard and I’ll do the same! Go play outside… :-D
This emotional three minute interview with Dustin Hoffman has gone viral on Youtube. Hoffman said he’d initially had doubts about making the movie Tootsie unless he could be made to look like a beautiful woman.
