Christopher Morley was an actor and female impersonator who specialized in cross-dressing roles in the 1970s and '80s. He played numerous parts in television and movies, most known for his parts in Freebie and the Bean (1974) and General Hospital (1980). In General Hospital, Morley played Sally Armitage, owner of a bar and a friend of Laura. The role was played straight and attracted the flirtatious interest of Luke until Morley's character finally revealed he was a man. Once revealed as a male, Morley's character became part of a plot to hold Luke and Laura's lives as ransom, in exchange for hidden gold. After the gold was found, however, his character was killed in a gunfight.^[1] The role in General Hospital was believed to be the inspiration for Tootsie, since the name of the show there is Southwest General Hospital.^[2]
