Dustin Hoffman has been accused of sexually harassing and assaulting an actress who appeared with him in the play “Death of a Salesman” in 1983 and in the 1985 TV adaption. Kathryn Rossetter detailed the “horrific, demoralizing and abusive experience” of working with Hoffman in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, published Friday. The actress said she was just starting out in New York City when she land the role in the Broadway play. Hoffman hand-picked Rossetter for the part, which made him a “hero” in her eyes, she said ― until the two started working together. I was completely surprised and tried to bat him away while watching the stage for my cues,” the actress wrote, adding that the incidents happened nearly every show, for six to eight shows a week.
