From his breakthrough performance in \u003ci\u003eThe Graduate\u003c\/i\u003e to his unforgettable roles in \u003ci\u003eMidnight Cowboy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTootsie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRain Man \u003c\/i\u003eand beyond, he has spent a lifetime inhabiting extraordinary characters. Now, in \u003ci\u003eLook at Me\u003c\/i\u003e, Hoffman turns his remarkable powers of observation on himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm, candid, hilarious and deeply moving, \u003ci\u003eLook at Me\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate memoir about art, ambition, family, friendship, love, ageing 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 approaches his tenth decade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, Hoffman shares stories that are by turns outrageous and poignant: an unexpected clash with Steve McQueen; adventures in Greenwich Village during the turbulent 1960s; encounters with legends including Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Gene Hackman, Mike Nichols, Robert Duvall and Arthur Miller; and the personal experiences that shaped some of his most celebrated performances. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eLook at Me\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a chronicle of a storied 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. The result is a memoir as distinctive as the man himself: funny, searching, wise and impossible to forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58601662054774,"sku":"9781398567153","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_43377582.jpg?v=1788970772","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781398567153-look-at-me","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
