Dustin Hoffman’s perspective on women altered because of Tootsie
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture
If you’re, ahem, of a certain age, you’ll likely recall Dustin Hoffman’s famous role in the Oscar-winning, movie Tootsie. He plays an out-of-work actor who dresses up as a woman to land a job.
The movie was a landmark for him. It radically altered his perspective, saying in the interview below “There are too many interesting women I have not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed [regarding the importance of physical appearance].“
How’s that for shaking up a guy’s perspective?
