Mrs. Doubtfire synopsis
Struggling to cope with his divorce and the loss of custody over his children, voice actor Daniel Hillard spends his days searching for a job and a place to live when one day he sees that his ex-wife has posted a classified ad for a housekeeper and babysitter. Thus, the elderly Scottish nanny Mrs Euphegenia Doubtfire is born.
With the help of his brother Frank, Daniel transforms himself into the perfect "old lady," complete with a prosthetic mask that allows him to become an integral part of the family.
But as the show unfolds, Daniel's ruse becomes harder and harder to maintain, especially as he falls deeper in love with his ex-wife all over again…
