Overview
Look at Me is both an intimate account of Dustin Hoffman’s work as an actor, collaborating with the greats of the last six decades—Mike Nichols, Gene Hackman, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, Laurence Olivier, Steve McQueen, Anne Bancroft—in era-defining films, and a profound contemplation of mortality by a person entering his nineties and looking back on a remarkable life. (Hoffman was slated to be the failure in his family...he even failed at that.)
Fans will finish this book feeling that they truly know Hoffman: the way his mind works; how he prepares for a part; his experience growing up in Los Angeles as a lower middle-class Jewish kid in the 1940s, then arriving in New York City full of passion in the late fifties, only to find himself crowned the “voice of his generation” in Life magazine by the end of the sixties. In the decades since, Hoffman has shown his brilliance and breadth in some of the most iconic movies of the 20th century.
In his memoir, he proves to be an ardent, entertaining, and deeply empathic storyteller…a narrator whose company you will relish.
