Academy Award–winner Dustin Hoffman joins us to share his deeply entertaining and intimate memoir, "Look at Me," which reflects on the changing zeitgeist of America over the past 60 years. He’ll be joined in conversation by Godmothers co-founder Victoria Jackson.

For nearly six decades, Dustin Hoffman has been one of the most compelling and unpredictable figures in American culture. From his breakthrough performance in "The Graduate" to his unforgettable roles in "Midnight Cowboy," "Tootsie," "Rain Man," and beyond, he has spent a lifetime inhabiting extraordinary characters and redefining what a Hollywood leading man could be. Now, in "Look at Me," Hoffman turns his remarkable powers of observation on himself.

Warm, candid, hilarious, and deeply moving, "Look at Me" is an intimate memoir about art, ambition, family, friendship, love, aging, and the mysteries of a creative life. Written with acclaimed author Ariel Levy, the book traces Hoffman’s journey from a young actor searching for purpose to a two-time Academy Award winner reflecting on what matters most as he enters his ninth decade.

Along the way, Hoffman shares stories that are by turns outrageous, poignant, and unforgettable: an unexpected clash with Steve McQueen, adventures in Greenwich Village during the turbulent 1960s, encounters with legends including Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Mike Nichols, Robert Duvall, Arthur Miller, and Gene Hackman, and the personal experiences that shaped some of his most celebrated performances.

But "Look at Me" is more than a chronicle of a storied Hollywood career. It is a meditation on mortality, identity, and the enduring need to create. With the wit, vulnerability, and emotional honesty that have defined his finest work, Hoffman invites readers into the private world behind the public icon.
