Linda Hunt



Dustin Hoffman

1982-1983 was perhaps the best years ever for androgynous characters at the Oscars: Linda Hunt won an Oscar for playing a male Indonesian photographer in the Mel Gibson/Sigourney Weaver movie "The Year of Living Dangerously" in 1983, the previous year Dustin Hoffman was nominated for "Tootsie", which was also nominated for Best Picture, Julia Andrews for "Victor/Victoria", and John Lithgow for "The World According to Garp".

This year Glenn Close plays a woman posing as a man so she could be a conductor at the turn of the century in "Albert Nobbs":



Quentin Crisp played Queen Elizabeth in "Orlando":



John Hurt played Quentin Crisp in 1975 in "The Naked Civil Servant" and the 2009 sequel "An Englishman in New York"

Wow! Glenn Close is really convincing as a man in that pic. I'd have given her the conductor job.

That's indeed the interesting part. Kind of silly that i posted it, I guess.

It's unbelievable how the girl from Mitt Liv Som Hund looks like a boy, and Kirsten Stewart and Hilary Swank too. Especially since Hilary Swank was no longer a kid. I love Eli being biologically a boy. It shows you don't always have to be the way nature 'decided'.
