"Goddam that's great. so Elaine Robertson got started in a car."
Benj Braddock to Mrs Robinson

Most unforgettable movie "The Graduate"
Most unforgettable themes "Sounds of Silence", Simon, the Graduate ; "Everybody's Talking At Me", Nielssen, M Cowboy.
This song along with "City of New Orléans" and Guthrie's "My Land" are the true anthems of America.

My favs. "Midnight Cowboy", "Rain man", "Kramer v Kramer"

Hoffman's acting was defined by his search for quality and truth in the script plus big pay days. Uncommon partners in Hollywood which only really came together once as Ratso in John Schlesinger's "Midnight Cowboy".

A great guy we are fortunate that he is still around.

Love Dustin Hoffman, and whilst "Midnight Cowboy" ( and the theme song, big Harry Nilsson fan here) ) is probably the best, I have a great fondness for "Tootsie" as I went to see it with some friends from Aus' and it was a fun night :-) and "Kramer vs Kramer".

It's the "something behind the eyes" that great actors have :-)

Happy birthday to him and hopefully many more :-)
