Plot hole: Michael Dorsey is a jobbing actor working as a kitchen hand, and his flatmate Geoff is an aspiring writer trying to raise the capital to have his latest play on stage - yet they can afford a huge, open plan apartment in New York City. The rent on that apartment would easily exceed their combined income from their low-paying jobs. There is no indication that they are independently wealthy - why would they need Dorsey's fees from the soap opera to stage Geoff's play if they were?

Directed by: Sydney Pollack
Starring: Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman
Ron Carlisle: Take, Tootsie.
Dorothy Michaels: Ron? I have a name it's Dorothy. It's not Tootsie or Toots or Sweetie or Honey or Doll.
Ron Carlisle: Oh, Christ.
Dorothy Michaels: No, just Dorothy. Alan's always Alan, Tom's always Tom and John's always John. I have a name too. It's Dorothy, capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y.
Trivia: The filming for Toosie went almost 3 weeks beyond the schedule because Dustin Hoffman could only film his scenes as Dorothy for about three hours at a time, after which his beard began to show and it took too long to reapply his makeup.
