make me a man: various movies & TV shows

Make me a man

Actresses often claim with some justification that there are not enough roles for them and that the roles which are available are often stereotyped: I think Cybil Sheppard once referred to the options as girlfriend, mother, crone in her show.

Well some actresses have got round that. Mostly when actresses play men it’s as a disguise for their character within the film but every so often an actress gets to play a character who happens to be male.

The movies

Palmer’s Pick Up (1999): Various people including Mr Price (Talia Shire) attempt to stop the two dimwit owners of a struggling haulage company from transporting a huge, mysterious box across the country. Soo-Jin Yoon was the hair and makeup artist.

Revenge Of The Pink Panther (1978): Claude Russo (Sue Lloyd) dresses as a woman so that drivers will give him a lift he then robs them at gunpoint. Harry Frampton was the makeup artist.
