It would be a sin to pick just one film where Dustin Hoffman really shined. Dustin Hoffman has many significant achievements to his credit, as evidenced by two Oscars and 6 Golden Globes. Unfortunately, even he did not escape accusations of hazing, and his reputation suffered a serious scar. Today is the birthday of this legendary actor.
Dustin Hoffman was born in Los Angeles, California on August 8, 1937. But at first it seemed that he would focus more on music than film. Until the age of 19, he studied music at the University of California, Santa Monica City College, but then moved to New York.

The graduate started a brilliant career
He supported himself by doing odd jobs and nothing satisfied him. However, he also got smaller television roles. In 1967, he appeared in The Tiger Makes Out. In the same year, he also played The Graduate in the film of the same name, which launched his brilliant career. At that time, however, he was already 30 years old, and at the same time he played a 21-year-old rebel who succumbs to an older and, above all, married woman.
He knows how the prizes are won
Two years later, he played the lead role in Midnight Cowboy, and a year after that he became Little Big Man in the western comedy of the same name. The coming years represented a ready harvest for him. In the 1970s, he played the main role in the Italian comedy Alfréde, Alfréde, in the biographical drama Butterfly, the thriller All the President’s Men or the crime thriller Maratónec. The 1980s finally brought him several prestigious awards. In 1980, he received an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the drama Kramer vs. Kramer. The comedy Tootsie earned him an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe Award. He received another Golden Globe for the film Death of a Salesman and for Rain Man, a story about a man with autism, which did not miss the Academy Award.
Moving on to comedies
In the 1990s, he recorded further successes in the form of the drama Deadly Epidemic or the film Shake the Dog, which humorously showed how it goes in the media when people in high politics need to cover up a scandal. In the new millennium, he mainly plays comedic roles, let’s remember at least the films Jeho fotr, to je lotr, It won’t get any worse or the TV movie Je žečná ži svet. He also starred in the musical drama Life Chance from 2014. Next year, he is set to star in Francis Ford Coppola’s anticipated film Megalopolis.

He had a weakness for young girls
His first wife was Anne Byrne, with whom he has a daughter, Karina. They married in 1969 and divorced 11 years later. In 1980, Hoffman officially divorced and remarried. This time he was marrying a fateful woman named Lisa. He has been living with her for 43 years and they have three sons and a daughter. To this day, they form a very harmonious couple. Their marriage even survived the case in which the actor was accused of sexual assault. In 2017, he was reported to have sexually molested an underage girl while filming Death of a Salesman in the 1980s. He touched her behind and made lewd advances. At the same time, he had to persuade the girl, then a 17-year-old production assistant, to have sex several times. Hoffman apologized for his past behavior. And he probably also had to ask for forgiveness from his wife, to whom he had been married for 5 years at the time of the sexual attacks.
