This idea caught on and Lange who some considered a lead performer in “Tootsie” began to be marketed as a supporting actress and quickly picked up the National Society of Film Critics Award, the Golden Globe and then the Oscar all as Supporting Actress for “Tootsie” while Streep won all the lead trophies. Streep came in first in the voting for Best Actress with Lange as a runner up for “Frances.” The group then decided to give Lange the Supporting Actress Award for “Tootsie” as a consolation prize.

Coinciding with the release of Lange’s films was the release of “Sophie’s Choice” in which Meryl Streep gave what some critics were describing as the greatest performance ever put on film. While all this acclaim was great for Lange it created problems for awards voters. At that moment, it was the first time an actor had received double nominations in 40 years. She would slowly rebuild her reputation in a series of films until she finally struck gold in 1982 with two prominent films, the biopic “Frances” and the comedy “Tootsie.” She would earn two Oscar nominations that year as Best Actress for “Frances” and Best Supporting Actress for “Tootsie” (for which she won). Lange’s first film performance was as the star of the much talked about 1976 remake of “King Kong.” The unknown actress was stung by the reaction to the film and despite being awarded the Golden Globe for Best Acting Debut-Female she retreated from films and didn’t do another one for three years.
