He’s really getting up there in age, but it’s wonderful to hear him speak about something personal and to his craft. You really hit the jackpot having the opportunity to take part in this screening.
Great clip! I am that big brother ;) and my younger brother (Thomas) is that bum.... Hoffman shared a room apparently with Gene Hackman and Bobby Duval at one point. A different era, a different kind of man.
Growing up in the '50's my most memorable tear-jerkers were "The Yearling," "Shane" and "Old Yeller" (also featuring Claude Jarman.) Here's the last couple minutes of "Shane." Still chokes me up. czcams.com/video/DtoCw2iOTSc/video.html
@@billbrunelle6123 Thanks for the clip. Actually, the *very last* part of "Shane" shows him riding up the mountains--and by the way he was in the saddle, we've always wondered if Shane was still alive, or not. But I guess that's left up to the audience.

What a blessing. Stll going at 86. One of my favorite actors.

*The kid in "The Yearling" was not Brandon de Wilde --it was Claude Jarman Jr.--who is still alive.*

Yeah, I know and was thinking the same thing.

@@ChuckPenn3 Yes. Well, they both had similar parts as sympathetic children. And I realize that time plays tricks on anyone's memory, unfortunately.
