When You Want to Send a Steak Back, Michael Dorsey is a Name

Has an actor’s off-camera clashing with a director ever produced as much on-screen delight as the battle that was waged between Dustin Hoffman and Sydney Pollock ^[1] in Tootsie? I loved the Hoffman-Pollock scenes in "Tootsie," a movie filled with highlights (Bill Murray and Terri Garr almost walked off with the movie in smaller roles). I thought of the Russina Tea Room scene this morning when I learned that Pollock died yesterday at the age of 73 ^[2]. Hollywood has lost a true pro.
