Dustin Hoffman, one of the most acclaimed actors of our time, is also one of the most compelling and unpredictable figures in American culture. His arrival in Hollywood ushered in a new approach to filmmaking. A two-time Oscar winner, he helped to obliterate the dividing line between the "character actor" and "leading man" archetypes. His memoir LOOK AT ME includes tales from Hoffman's almost -six-decade career and his unforgettable roles in The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, Tootsie, Rain Man and beyond. Among the stories is an unexpected clash with Steve McQueen, encounters with legends like Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Mike Nichols, Robert Duvall, Arthur Miller and Gene Hackman.
Ariel Levy last appeared on our stage in a conversation with Alex Van Halen. She is a longtime staff writer for The New Yorker and also co-authored Hoffman's memoir.
