Hollywood Hermaphrodites
McAllister TV launches an extensive two-part series dealing with Hollywood hermaphrodites. Most of these deceptive actresses are actually men masquerading as women. But McAllister TV also gets into women pretending to be men. Most of Part 1 is a deep dive into the 1946 film noir The Strange Woman, starring Hedy Lamarr and George Sanders.
What are we actually watching? Are we watching a show? How many of the actors and actresses are hermaphrodites, or women playing men and man playing women? Why did Hollywood try to pull off this ruse, not only in the 1940s but going into contemporary times?
