Dustin Hoffman apologized Wednesday after a woman came forward to accuse the actor of sexually harassing her when she was a 17-year-old production assistant.Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Anna Graham Hunter, now 49, said she was interning as a production assistant on the 1985 TV movie adaption of “Death of a Salesman” when the alleged harassment occurred.
Ms. Hunter reprinted mail correspondence with her sister in London detailing the alleged harassment that occurred over five weeks. She said she initially laughed off Mr. Hoffman’s advances, but later explicitly and repeatedly told him to stop.
“And yes, I loved the attention from Dustin Hoffman. Until I didn’t,” she wrote.
“One morning I went to his dressing room to take his breakfast order; he looked at me and grinned, taking his time,” she recalled. “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.”
“Today, when I was walking Dustin to his limo, he felt my ass four times. I hit him each time, hard, and told him he was a dirty old man,” she wrote. “He took off his hat and pointed to his head (shaved for the part) and said, ‘No, I’m a dirty young man, I have a full head of hair.’”
