When we caught up with Dustin Hoffman Monday at the Library Lions gala at the New York Public Library, we asked for his favorite-ever library experience. He did not disappoint: "It's the first place I ever got laid," he revealed. "It was in the nonfiction section in 1958." Was he serious? we asked. "I wasn't serious, but she was." View...
