Busted? Celebrities who want gun control also shoot fake guns.

Right, and actors who have played drug dealers shouldn’t speak out against drug use, and actors who have played rapists shouldn’t speak out against rape culture, and actors who have played murderers shouldn’t speak out against violence, because evidently we’ve all at some point lost the ability to differentiate between real life and movies.

I write horror films. I make horror films. I don’t want real life horror. It’s a way to examine my fears and anxieties and issues in a safe and ultimately positive way. The stories I tell may even go on to help someone else the way the films that have informed me as a creative, responsible, peace-loving, horror-film-making woman did. I love my genre. Films do not make people go out and do horrible things - people do horrible things and then look for a scapegoat so they don’t have to face the reality of and take responsibility for what they’ve done.

Here is some terrific footage of Sydney Pollack directing *Tootsie* in 1982. With thanks to the ever excellent LoSceicco1976.

“Thirty years ago this month *Tootise* was released into the world and finished number one in the box office Christmas weekend of December 17-19, 1982. It went on to be nominated for nine Oscars including Dustin Hoffman as lead actor, Sydney Pollack’s directing, and best picture. Jessica Lange won the Oscar for her supporting role.

And if you would have asked me before I read *Making Tootsie* written by Susan Dworkin who wrote the *Tootsie* screenplay I would have answered Larry Gelbart. But like most films there were a few hands in the pie. In fact, *Toostie* is another great example of the collaborative process of filmmaking really working well. The *Tootise* screenplay was also nominated for its screenplay, but along with Gelbart on the nomination were Murray Schisgal and Don McGuire. (But there were at least three more writers who had a hand in rewrites.)

Dworkin does an excellent job in her book of showing how the script and movie can together. The original seed for *Tootsie* was a screenplay titled *Would I Lie to You?* written by McGuire. McGuire was born in Chicago in 1919 and according to IMDB had come to Hollywood in the 40s and had a background a in journalism and worked as a press agent and an actor. In the 50s he started writing film scripts and his credits include *Bad Day at Black Rock* starring Spencer Tracy and *Meet Danny Wilson* starring Frank Sinatra. Many changes were made in his script *Would I Lie to You?* and he ended up with a story credit on *Toostie*—and it would be his last film credit. He died in 1999.

McGuire’s script attracted the attention of Buddy Hackett in 1978 who took it to his friend Charles Evans. The rights to the script were owned by Henry Plitt and two other and Evans had to buy the property from them and even negotiate a different deal with McGuire. In 1979 Evans hire dBob Kaufman to do a rewrite of *Would I Lie to You?*

**“I put Kaufman is a hotel room and harassed him into writing and we cracked each other up.”** *Tootsie* producer Dick Richards.

According to Dworkin, ‘Finally they had a new script. It was an out-of-work actor who gets a job playing a nurse on a soap opera.’ Kaufman then departed the picture and the script landed in the hands of Dustin Hoffman, who was interested in playing a gender-switch role, and brought on playwright Murray Schisgal to rewrite the script. With Hoffman on board Evans was able to get a deal with Columbia and Hal Ashby was brought on to direct. Ashby would be replaced by director Sydney Pollack. And finally Larry Gilbart was brought on to do another rewrite of the script.

There will be a test on this later. According to IMDB Robert Garland, Barry Levinson, and Elaine May did uncredited work on the screenplay. And both Pollack and Hoffman also spent much time at Pollack’s beach house crafting the story. And that doesn’t even touch on what the other supporting actors (Terri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Bill Murray, Charles Durning, Lange and others) brought to their roles. I bet more than a dozon people could lay claim to at least some part of the script.

And the results? A film that made $177 million, is listed on the National Film Registry, and in 2000 was named by AFI as #2 funniest American film in the last 100 years. (*Some Like it Hot* was #1. Also, a gender-switch film.)” —*Scott W. Smith, Screenwriting from Iowa & Other Unlikely Places*

“
Segregated neighborhoods are more likely to be poor, and if you barely earn a living wage, you definitely can’t afford health insurance that would cover preventative care (Thanks Affordable Care Act). The pink ribbon does not help bring awareness to the socioeconomic inequities connected to breast cancer; they commodify the disease and make it “sexy” under the guise of raising awareness.

’Saving the Boobies’ is a mantra that gets thrown around a lot this month, but it does not properly address how breast cancer adversely impacts and ends lives. Talking about breasts as if they are an independent entity, as if it’s the breasts that are worth saving as opposed to the life and body they are attached to is not only patriarchal, but also down right sexist. It implies that a woman’s worth is in her breasts, in her sexuality.
”

Jazmine Walker

This quote is from her essay Saving The Boobies Will Not Save Me on Still Furious and Still Brave. Here she notes that Black women develop breast cancer less often than White women, but are 40% more likely to die. Even when controlled for class, Black women still receive inferior healthcare. This is against the backdrop of a culture that thinks we do not feel pain, need less pain medication, heal faster and are “strong” for the purpose of “enduring” the pain from others.

I had a friend who got breast cancer before 35 and had a double mastectomy. I was glad they saved the HUMAN over “the boobies.” The fragmentation involved in this campaign irritates me. I had a breast cancer scare at age 28. Though my tests came back clean, the period between the tests and no result was incredibly stressful. Worse is how EVERYONE demands joy and heroism and “fuck cancer” and all of this stuff that Black women are already forced to do based on the Strong Black Woman stereotype.
