 Tootsie Troll
Tootsie was nearing the outskirts of the third largest city in the nation which the locals lovingly refer to as Chicago to keep tourists from mistaking it for similar blighted urban sprawls such as Los Angeles and New York City.
But such nomenclature was beyond the mindset of Tootsie Troll, who was intrigued by the malodorous scents bestowed upon her by bone-numbing gusts of wind, which informed her that, despite being infested with people, this was a place where a troll could prosper.
Being homeless and unemployed were, however, big points in Tootsie's favor and the fact that she was female and a member of a much maligned ethnic minority left almost no basis for denial.

One of the most endearing things about "Tootsie," a movie in which Dustin Hoffman plays a middle-aged actress, is that the actress is able to carry most of her own scenes as herself - even if she weren't being played by Hoffman.
"Tootsie" is the kind of Movie with a capital M that they used to make in the 1940s, when they weren't afraid to mix up absurdity with seriousness, social comment with farce, and a little heartfelt tenderness right in there with the laughs.
"Tootsie" might have been content to limit itself to the complications of New York life in drag; it could have been "Victor/Victoria Visits Elaine's." But the movie's a little more ambitious than that.
