The Many Faces of Dustin Hoffman (1970)
Character: Self
Dustin Hoffman’s most challenging physical transformation occurred early in his career, when he undertook the role of Jack Crabb in the big screen adaptation of Thomas Berger’s novel, Little Big Man (directed by Arthur Penn).

In The Many Faces of Dustin Hoffman, director Elliott Erwitt is providing a rare behind-the-scenes look into the process of movie-making. In this brief film, Hoffman discusses the craft of acting in general, but also talks specifically about his approach to the Jack Crabb character. This insider's glimpse into the mind of one of our greatest actors is a rare treat for both fans of Hoffman and anyone interested in the process of acting.

Character: Self
The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers paid up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J.
