Hollywood (and the music biz) must be quite a sleazy industry. Lots of people trying to be famous with minimal opportunities, results in producers having a lot of power over individuals.
When I heard about the Dustin Hoffman allegations I remembered this interview with Simon Mayo on Radio 5 Live from a few years ago:
Question from listener.
Mayo: It comes from a women... ...who says 'In 1978 when you were filming Agatha in my home town of Harrogate you insisted on a kiss in exchange for an autograph, which I thought was a fair price. Sadly I lost my autograph book during an over-enthusiastic clear-out years later. Now that I'm 50 will the same bargain hold?'
Hoffman: Yes, but thank God you didn't lose your virginity [laughs].
