From Shakespeare to Shakespeare in Love, playwrights and film-makers have delighted in disguising their female characters as men. Sometimes they have aimed for a realistic look and sometimes they’ve played it for laughs.

These images are mostly taken from movies and TV programmes of the 1990s: there are separate thumbnail pages for female-to-male disguises from pre-1976 movies, movies of 1976 to 1989 and recent movies.

Then, of course, there are the actresses who have played male characters.
