Gender-bending disguises: the 1980s
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.

Just One Of The Guys (1985): Terry (Joyce Hyser) believes her teachers don’t take her seriously – just because she’s a pretty girl. She decides to switch schools and gender: but then life gets complicated. David Quashnick, Tommy Thompson and Frank Westmore were makeup artists on the movie.
