[Graybeard]

1. DH told funny story about making Little Big Man.

Dustin Hoffman tells the story about when he heard that the legendary Iron Eyes Cody was going to be in the film. He wanted to meet the great man so much he couldn't wait to be introduced.

The time came and he met this American Icon. "I'm so pleased to meet you, sir." Hoffman was in awe.

Then Iron Eyes Cody pulled Hoffman close to him and asked in his ear, "Are you screwing Faye Dunaway?"
