Dustin Hoffman has been accused of sexually harassing a woman when she was just 17 years old.
Anna Graham Hunter wrote a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, and wrote about her time on the set of TV movie Death of A Salesman back in 1985.
The writer claimed that Dustin made unwanted sexual advances on set, and said, “He asked me to give him a foot massage my first day on set; I did.”
“He was openly flirtatious, he grabbed my ass, he talked about sex to me and in front of me. One morning I went to his dressing room to take his breakfast order; he looked at me and grinned, taking his time.”
“Then he said, ‘I’ll have a hard-boiled egg … and a soft-boiled clitoris’. His entourage burst out laughing. I left, speechless. Then I went to the bathroom and cried.”
Anna also alleged that she told people on set about his behaviour, but she was simply told to “sacrifice” some of her beliefs.
“He was a predator, I was a child, and this was sexual harassment. As to how it fits into my own pattern, I imagine I’ll be figuring that out for years to come,” she wrote. “At 49, I understand what Dustin Hoffman did as it fits into the larger pattern of what women experience in Hollywood and everywhere.”
Meanwhile, Dustin Hoffman apologised in a statement, and said, “I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation. I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am.”
