One night in Chicago, I felt his hand up under my slip on the inside of my thighs. I was completely surprised and tried to bat him away while watching the stage for my cues. After the show he was busy with the producer and director so I had no access to him to address it. It then happened almost every show. Six to eight shows a week. I couldn’t speak to him in the moment because I was on a live mic. He kept it up and got more and more aggressive. One night he actually started to stick his fingers inside me. Night after night I went home and cried. I withdrew and got depressed and did not have any good interpersonal relationships with the cast. How could the same man who fought to get me the job, who complimented my work, who essentially launched my career, who gave me the benefit of his wisdom as an actor, how could he also be this sexual power abuser?

I totally get why she didn’t say anything. SHE WAS ON BROADWAY, and believed it was because of this guy. You are talking about younger women who don’t have the life experience, and then throw in the fact it is a powerful, famous man and there you have it.

I was going to say no, because Little Big Man was my movie reference but yes, you are correct, Hoffman’s character Benjamin was harassed, seduced, and possibly raped by Mrs. Robinson, the original cougar.

Little Big Man was one of his best. “Marathon Man” is a classic torture scene. (no. you are correct about Mrs. Pendrake)

Hunny, you’re a white. A decent woman would have struck him or left. A where’s takes the abuse for future payoffs.

The first thought I had was “He’s so short he couldn’t reach her crotch.” But maybe that’s exaggerating things a wee bit.

Look at her eyes. She looks higher than a kite in that pic from either booze or drugs. Probably both.

Maybe he was heightning.

Once again Trump is proven right. He told Billy Bush that if you have power in Hollywood you can grab their pussies and get away with it. All these women making claims today are admitting the grabbers got away with it.
