Dustin Hoffman @ 70.

So Dustin Hoffman turns 70 today, a birthday that's evidently going to go unmarked in the English-language press.

But I can point you to plenty of congrats and assessments in the German-language papers: Verena Lueken in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (lots of pix!), Fritz Göttler in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Claudia Lenssen in Die Welt, Susanne Ostwald in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and Jan Schulz-Ojala in Der Tagesspiegel.

The Wikipedia entry's pretty robust, though, and Classic Movies offers a slew of pointers for further clicking.

Update: The New York Post's Lou Lumenick recalls a grimly amusing anecdote.
