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, Lawrence Olivier, Steve McQueen, Ann 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 50s, only to find himself crowned the “voice of his generation” in Life magazine by the end of the 60s. In the decades since, Hoffman has shown his brilliance and breadth in some of the most iconic movies of the Twentieth Century. In his memoir, he proves to be an ardent, entertaining, and deeply empathic storyteller… a narrator whose company you will relish.
Dustin Hoffman is a two-time Academy Award–winning actor whose career has spanned six decades. He is married to entrepreneur and designer Lisa Hoffman and is the father of six children.
