My best friend’s mother turned down a date with Brando in the 50s. She didn’t regret it but I thought she was nuts. (She was beautiful.)
Always take advantage of a situation! Hoffman seemed very nice to me. Everyone is coming out the woodwork with stories.
Anyway, my experience with actors has been that they are mostly an odd group of people. Not a lot of common sense, and not an awareness of other people's boundaries.
Doesn't apply to all of them, of course, but there was definitely a learning curve when I had to deal with them.
