The story
Michael Dorsey is a talented but difficult New York City actor whose perfectionism has left him unemployed.
As Dorothy, Michael transforms Emily Kimberly into an outspoken feminist, frequently improvising dialogue and challenging the show's scripts.
They begin a sexual relationship, although Michael is increasingly attracted to his co-star Julie Nichols, a single mother involved with the show's sexist director, Ron Carlisle.
