"I would have rather been the girlfriend of one of them, but if it was a choice between being molested or being ignored, I chose their hands on me."
Damn. That has to be one of the saddest things I've ever read.
It's very unfortunate to read about Hoffman's creepy behavior, but sadly I can't be surprised. Older actors especially are used to getting away with acting a lot slimier since it largely got passed off as "Just something you gotta get used to". The fact that she was in danger of getting fired and not him is unbelievable.
Of course everyone can change (I don't think Hoffman today is the same as Hoffman 50 years ago), and there are a lot of older actors who maybe always were nice people as well. But the more people we have speaking out about these events, the bigger chance we have of preventing this from happening as often as it has, depressing as it is to hear about.
