I have found several woman who's characters performances were exceptional, except they were men. The ability to become a woman one minute and then a man the next made me say "WOW". As I think back one of the first men to dress as a woman and make it socially acceptable would be Flip Wilson, he came up with a character called Geraldine. Who knew that she would become one of his most popular characters and make the man very rich?
Then came Dustin Hoffman has "Tootsie" He had a bright ideal that if he could not get a job as a man he would do it as a woman... Is it me or did he make a cute woman? As a matter of fact he even won a Oscar for his performance!
Robin Williams made "Mrs Doubt Fire" believable, so much, to the fact that you wondered, how did he do that?
In Living Color was funny but when Jamie Fox came up with Wanda and her class statement "I'll rock your world" Wanda put the show on the map. Plus it was the start to Jaime Fox taking the world by storm.
Then came Martin Lawrence and his character "Sha Nay Nay", her straight out of the Ghetto made attitude me "MARTIN" an instant hit!
Martin Lawrence as "Big Mama" was so big, that they had to make a sequel... Most men love to take women's dresses off, but Lawrence has made his millions by putting them on!
Then came the genius of Tyler Perry, the day that he came up with "Madea" was the day that he became a billionaire. His ability to bring the wisdom of the old and inject it into your soul of the youth today has pushed him to a level high in the stratosphere of respect among his peers.
Now I love Ving Rhames performance as "Holiday" but no matter how I tried to see him as gay, I just could not grasp the ideal! Because of his previous roles as a mans man, but if you must see a movie check "Holidays Heart", there will not be a dry eye in the house.
