Dustin Hoffman, 87, and wife Lisa meet their newborn grandson Ryder Dusty Hoffman in NYC
As I delve into the life and career of Dustin Hoffman, it’s impossible not to feel a mix of admiration and dismay. On one hand, his talent as an actor is undeniable, having won numerous accolades and leaving an indelible mark on cinema history. On the other hand, the allegations against him are troubling and serve as a stark reminder that even great artists can falter in their personal lives.
On a Thursday in Manhattan’s SoHo area, Dustin Hoffman and his wife Lisa Jo Gottsegen Hoffman gathered with their son Jacob ‘Jake’ Edward Hoffman and his spouse Amit Dishon Hoffman. The occasion was the introduction of Ryder Dusty Hoffman, their brand-new grandson.
In a bright smile, the 87-year-old actor – who was embroiled in numerous sexual misconduct accusations in 2017 – gently touched the head of a three-week-old baby while his Israeli granddaughter cradled him.
Earlier, Amit posted a close-up picture of a baby on Instagram featuring the 43-year-old actor from Wu-Tang: An American Saga (from October 16) with the caption: ‘My friends.’
Apart from Dustin, there’s a 70-year-old fragrance creator who share three grandchildren with their daughter, Alexandra Lydia Hoffman, as she prepares to celebrate her 37th birthday on Sunday.
Apart from Hoffman and Lisa, they are equally joyful parents to their daughter Rebecca Lillian Hoffman, aged 41, and their son Maxwell Geoffrey Hoffman, who is also 40 years old.
In the span of their 11-year marriage that lasted until 1980, a two-time Oscar winner had Jenna Byrne (54 years old) as his biological daughter and Karina Hoffman-Birkhead (58) as his stepdaughter, having been married to Anne Byrne, his co-star in the film Papillon.
Dustin and Gottsegen recently marked their 44th wedding anniversary on October 12. However, it seems she has maintained a firm control over him following the public scandal he was involved in.
According to a source who spoke with Radar Online on Tuesday, Lisa has consistently supported him, while he’s had to adhere to a set of stringent guidelines to please her.
She keeps a constant watch over him, requiring regular check-ins when he’s working, and ensuring he returns home promptly for dinner.
In 1964, when Lisa Hoffman was just 10 years old, she first encountered the 27-year-old Hoffman. This meeting took place because his mother Lillian was friends with Lisa’s grandmother. They reconnected again, when Lisa was 22 and he was 38, at her grandmother’s funeral service.
In 2007, when Lisa spoke with DailyMail.com, she reminisced that Dustin had been entertaining us with jokes, tickling the ivories on the piano, and motivating me to dance freely around our living room.
After we met up, my grandma brought up a conversation from earlier in the day where I expressed, “I’m hoping he holds off for me since I wish to marry him.
Prior to the controversy, Gottsegen shared enthusiastically with Closer Magazine in 2017: “We put effort into our relationship. I always knew I’d wind up with Dusty, and that my life would involve journeying alongside him.
For the past seven years, the individual who won an Emmy has been dealing with the consequences that followed the public accusations of sexual misconduct and assault, made by six women, which reportedly took place between the years 1980 and 1991.
Back in 2017, I, as a starstruck teenager, shared classes with the renowned Dustin, little did I know that our relationship would take an uncomfortable turn. You see, when Karina was just a kid like me, Dustin is said to have asked for a massage from none other than myself, then shockingly exposed himself in his hotel room back in 1980.
According to Kathryn Rossetter, who starred alongside Dustin Hoffman in “Death of a Salesman,” Hoffman allegedly required massages from her and repeatedly sexually harassed and assaulted her by groping and making unwanted sexual advances during their performances as his character’s mistress in the Broadway play and TV movie between 1983-1985.
Anna Graham Hunter shared with The Hollywood Reporter that during her time as a production assistant on the set of “Death of a Salesman” in 1985, Dustin Hoffman frequently requested massages and made repeated sexually suggestive remarks to her. Additionally, she claimed that he assaulted her on several occasions.
In 1991, Wendy Riss Gatsiounis recounted to Variety that Dustin made an inappropriate suggestion during a business meeting at his Rockefeller Center office. He asked her: “Have you ever been intimate with a man over 40? It would offer a fresh exploration. Why not join me at this nearby hotel?
Melissa Kester shared with Variety that she was a fresh graduate from college at the time when it’s alleged Hoffman sexually assaulted her during audio recordings for his 1987 movie, Ishtar.
A different woman, choosing to remain anonymous, shared with Variety that the individual who survived skin cancer allegedly assaulted her in the back of a station wagon and coerced her into a distressing sexual experience that left her emotionally scarred.
At present, Dustin is playing the character Nush ‘The Fixer’ Berman in Francis Ford Coppola’s expensive ($136M) science fiction movie titled Megalopolis. Despite negative reviews, this film has managed to gross $12 million since its release on September 27.
Last March, Hoffman once again lent his voice to the character of the wise red panda, Master Shifu, in DreamWorks Animation’s humorous animated film Kung Fu Panda 4. This movie grossed a staggering $549.2 million at box offices worldwide.
This 5-foot-5 actor, who is known for his roles in films, also appeared as himself in the music video that accompanied Tenacious D’s rock version of Britney Spears’ 1998 hit “…Baby One More Time.” The song was featured on their soundtrack.
A source shared with Radar Online that he’s been making a gradual return, which is quite impressive given his age and the negative connotations surrounding his reputation.
Dustin is set to appear in two upcoming movies: a crime thriller titled Turner, directed by Daniel Roher, co-starring Tovah Feldshuh and Peter Greenaway; and an as-yet-unnamed Italian-set drama, featuring Helen Hunt.
Prior to his controversy, Philip Seymour Hoffman had already received significant recognition as an actor, including the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1997, the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1999, and the Kennedy Center Honors Award in 2012.
