Ms. Dworkin captures that perfectly…Making Tootsie has a sense of making a movie that very few books have.” (John Gregory Dunne)“A must for all film buffs [includes] revealing interviews with Hoffman and Pollack as well as a fascinating section on make-up and costumes.” (Patricia Bosworth)“A stunning job of research, observation and reporting.” (Larry Gelbart, co-writer of Tootsie and writer on the M*A*S*H* TV series)
