- "It's pretty sad when a person has to lose weight to play
- Babe Ruth," says John Goodman, the hefty actor best known as
- Roseanne Barr's huggable TV husband. Goodman worked off 60 lbs.,
- spent five months learning to bat and throw left-handed, and
- then sat through as many as two hours of makeup a day to
- portray the legendary slugger during a 20-year period. The Babe,
- due next year, is the actor's first dramatic starring film
- role, and word from the set of the just wrapped movie was that
- Goodman's transformation into the Bambino was positively
- Ruthian. "The Babe lived life full out," says Goodman.
- "Everything he did was big."
