Where Are They Now?
She’s A He? Snakkle Catches Up With The Academy Award-Winning Cast Of Tootsie, 31 Years Later!
"I was a better man with you as a woman than I ever was with a woman as a man.” No truer words have ever been spoken by… well, a man dressed as a woman to the woman he loves. When the detail-oriented Dorsey hears of a casting call for the soap opera Southwest General, he goes for it… but as “Dorothy Michaels.” Chaos (and comedy) ensues as Michael dressed as “Dorothy” falls for his lovely costar, becomes a TV sensation, and his life gets soapy in more ways than one. Tootsie and its all-star cast were nominated for a whopping ten Academy Awards! Read on to find out where they are now. By Brittany Carson

Dustin Hoffman as Dorothy Michaels/Michael Dorsey in Tootsie (1982)
Dustin Hoffman as a man, who while playing a woman falls in love with a (real-life) woman…Try saying that three times fast! His memorable performance didn’t just leave audiences in stitches; it got him nominated for a Best Actor in a Leading Role Academy Award. Oh, and his character got the girl. Not too shabby for a cross-dressing straight guy.
