In 1986 I saw the movie “Death of a salesman” with Dustin Hoffman in the main role. This was at the Venice Film Festival, and I sort of remember the fuss about the famous actor actually more than the movie. Hoffman was calm of course, but not the many journalists and photographers. I remember this now because the play written by Arthur Miller is being staged by a theater in my local town. And I would have liked to see it, but don’t have the time I think. So I just try to remember by looking at these old photos. I remember this occation like yesterday. There are more photos from the film festival in Venice in my photo galleries.
What great pictures Bente! I especially like the second one.
Me too, Chillbrook, but the first reminds me of the fuss, even if you don’t see much of it.
so young, so handsome, beautiful photos … they make me feel relaxed!
I see what you mean, Nancy, and agree.
Such a great sense of resigned calm, or is it tiredness, that you have caught so beautifully!
It might be jet lag of course.
But I think it is real calm, or maybe tired of crowds. Thanks Patti.
A great actor – the first DH-movie I saw was “The Graduate” – no not vn 1968, at that time I wasn’t old enough for that kind of movies – really two very well captured photos…
I have laughed a lot at the Graduate, but it wasn’t in 1968 either.. Thanks, Drake.
How fortunate you were to have been there. Great photos.
I am a movie lover and it was such a great time seeing movies from morning till midnight, and photographing actors and directors in between. Thanks Emilie.
Would be nice if we could all keep looking the way we did back then (except for those who weren’t grown up yet – haha).
Well I was not wearing diapers, hehe, but I think the years are moving so fast I hardly noticed. Thanks Anneli.
He is such a great actor – I admire him immensely. If this had been text I would have said you had written him well.
Hmm, thanks a lot for your nice comment. Great actor, absolutely.
Bonitas fotos, me encanta la segunda. Un saludo
Gracias mucho. Saludo, Barbara.
Great photographs… he is great actor. I watched all his films… Thank you dear Bente, love, nia
Totaly agree about the actor. And thanks a lot, dear Nia.
Great shots.
Thanks a lot. Might learn some B&W from you.
Saw the gallery, so long ago, some of them look so young. Great shots but I honestly wish there was a photo of you as well. Would be an even better documentation.
But after watching their young faces I’m feeling a bit old right now.
Those were the days we went topless on the beach, Stanzebla, so I might not include any of those now…
I wouldn’t mind that
Wow, what great photos………. have you shared these with him?
No Sally, I haven’t shared them with anybody before now. Or maybe I used one for an article back then, I always had so many when I returned home…
Well, you have had quite an interesting life so far!!!
A really nice B & W of Hoffman. Looks almost like the rest of us “common folks.”
I think all of these stars are real people (more or less) when they are not hidden by too much makeup and appearance.
Great shots. So handsome. I never did see the movie, though. I’ll need to put it on my list.
Me too, Gemma. I need to refresh. Thanks. And I agree about handsome.
Dustin Hoffman is a great actor and I love the movie but also more movies from him, in Your gallerie there are fantastic photos also from directors, I think you was very happy to make this photos it’s WOW!!!
I forgot about this movie and how much time has passed!
Great film; great material; great film. Highly recommend his current film where he directs: “Quartet”.
Never heard about that movie but your photos are absolutely awesome. Simply great. Ha en kjempefin dag!
One of my favourite actors. A great pair of portraits especially the last one.
Awesome shots, really captures his character. Looks so young! : )
Great photo Bente.Wel done!
Vi ses i Venezia ingen! (: (They told me that Norwegian people can understand Swedish very good)
Well done! Really good!
I love the second one – it captures something I can’t quite put my finger on…
#2 — a classic and classy portrait in all respects. congratulations.
Excellent pictures! Love it Bente
That second one. What a great shot!! I wish I had made that one
Fantastic… can’t believe you’re still holding on to these… timeless
A very nice collection in your gallery. Time flies.
Wow Bente, you are so lucky to have this ocassion in your life, u did great, capturing his boyish angles, love them also because he’s Dustin.
I saw “The Graduate” way back when!!! And just recently watched it again on TV this week. Still a great actor!
