The name I highlight in this post is that of the excellent American actor of Jewish descent, Dustin Hoffman.
Throughout his career, Dustin Hoffman has received numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1980 for “Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979), for the role of “Ted Kramer”; and in 1989 for “Rain Man” (1988), for the role of “Raymond Babbitt”. He also received 6 Golden Globe Awards: Best Newcomer in 1968; Best Actor in a Drama Film in 1980 and 1989; Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical in 1983; Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film in 1986; and the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1997. Two Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Television Film in 1986 and an International Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in 2016. He also won: three BAFTA Awards: Best Newcomer in 1969; Best Actor in 1970 and 1984. A Golden Lion: Honorary Award in 1996. An MTV Movie Award: Best Comedic Performance in 2005.
Dustin Hoffman is another great actor who doesn’t have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because he didn’t approve his nomination, a necessary process since acceptance by the honoree is required, as well as payment of the star’s maintenance fees, something Hoffman claims to this day is one of Hollywood’s most stupid wastes of money.
Dustin Lee Hoffman was born on August 8, 1937, in Los Angeles, California, United States, and is 88 years old.
Dustin Hoffman has only been married twice. His first wife was American actress Anne Byrne Kronenfeld, known as Anne Byrne (1943-), from 1969 to 1980, with whom he had two daughters: Karina Hoffman-Birkhead (1966-), who, unlike the rest of the family and despite being very beautiful, has always been averse to the spotlight, and actress Jenna Byrne (1970-). In the same year of their separation, 1980, Dustin married again, this time to American businesswoman Lisa Hoffman, with whom he had four children: American actor Jacob Edward “Jake” Hoffman (1981-); American actress Rebecca Hoffman (1983-); American actress Alexandra Hoffman (1987-); and the youngest, American actor Max Hoffman (1984-). They remain together to this day, and their marriage is known as one of the longest-lasting and happiest unions in Hollywood.

Oh yes, he's a great actor!
ReplyDeleteHugs, dear Theda 😊
My dear friend Theodosia,
ReplyDeleteDustin Hoffman is one of Hollywood's iconic artists, and I agree with him regarding the requirement that the honoree, the owner of the star on the Walk of Fame, bear the maintenance costs. What kind of tribute is it that creates expenses for the artist being honored?
Kisses!!!
Bom dia Teodósia. Ele realmente é uma excelente ator. Sobre colocar seu Blogger, na lista de blogs favoritos, não precisa agradecer. Só retribui sua gentileza. Uma excelente manhã de quinta-feira e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.

Es un genial actor. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteUn actor que me animaba a ver sus peliculas, me gustan todas y paso un buen rato, opino que es muy bueno. Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteDesconocía esos datos sobre la colocación de la estrella en el paseo de la fama, ya que pensaba que era similar a lo que ocurre aquí con los nombres de calles que ponen el nombre de una persona en la placa y esta.
ReplyDeleteCreo que deja un buen legado aunque en ocasiones eso no sirve para que generaciones venideras te recuerden pasadas unas generaciones por medio.
Saludos.
I know this actor. I've seen him in some films.
ReplyDeleteOlá, amiga Theda.
ReplyDeleteUm grande ator que muito aprecio. Vi vários filmes que participou. Aquele que mais gostei, foi "Kramer contra Kramer". Brilhante!
