Androgynous Women in Movies

It's easy to see why all the girls fawn over Terry—besides undeniable swagger and killer style, he's a Ralph Macchio look-alike. Little do they know that Terry isn't what he seems! In 1985's Just One of the Guys, Terry is actually a girl pretending to be a boy. The reason? After her journalism teacher submits male students' articles for a newspaper internship instead of hers, Terry's convinced it's because of her gender—and decides to resubmit her piece as a guy at a rival high school. Playing Terry is actress Joyce Hyser, who navigates her character's dual personality and lifestyle with panache.
