Interesting.

For those who have been passed over because of the way they look. Interesting realisation by Dustin Hoffman when preparing for Tootsie.

I mostly love hearing actors talk about performing and Dustin is a very thoughtful actor. I thought his epiphany was very honest (and sadly true).

I could've sworn I left a reply on this but . . . *kicks LJ*

I watched this with a male (possibly soon-to-be-ex) friend. When Dustin teared up onscreen, the first thing out of his mouth? "Real men don't act like that." Dear God, I wanted to kick him so hard . . . but restrained myself to questioning his comment. His response? "Men don't want to waste their time with dogs." >:(

And I fear that most men share EXACTLY that viewpoint. If a woman's not blonde, big-titted, and gorgeous, she might as well not even exist.

Bravo on Hoffman for figuring it out.

Hey hun!

Oh wow - he really said that?! wow. It's so sad to actually have it confirmed like that. Even though we know it's true in society it's hard to actually hear it coming out of someone's mouth...:(
