VIDEO : Hear Dustin Hoffman Talk Sex, Drugs and Gangs in Rare 1971 Interview

A rare 1971 interview with Dustin Hoffman, in which the actor discusses fame, sex, drugs, gang violence, growing pains and playing Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy, is the latest archival tape to be animated for PBS' ongoing Blank on Blank series.
The wide-ranging clip begins with Hoffman's ambivalence about fame and becoming a recognizable figure, which took an absurd turn when he "upstaged" an accidental Weather Underground bombing in the building next to his apartment. But despite his rising profile, Hoffman noted that young people ? whom, a few years removed from The Graduate, would have been his target audience ? cared the least about him.
Hoffman said, "youth itself is today more famous than anybody, than any single person."
