Dustin Hoffman feared the worst when he exited his audition for The Graduate, when a prop guy who oversaw his try out insisted he'd need the tokens that fell out of his coat pocket. The nervous young actor felt sure he'd failed the audition back in 1967, thanks to a few choice words from the unnamed man - but he landed the role that was to make him an international movie star. He recalls, "I went to shake the prop guy's hand and all my subway tokens fell out (of my pocket). He picked them up and handed them back to me saying, 'Here kid, you're gonna need these.'" Hoffman talked candidly about his life, movie career and Oscar wins on American TV yesterday when he became the 200th guest on in depth chat show Inside The Actors Studio.

In what amounts to "alternative programming" of the first magnitude, Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio will feature a two-hour interview with Liza Minnelli during Super Bowl Sunday, the channel announced Wednesday. It released excerpts from the interview with James Lipton, which include several comments about her relationship with her mother, Judy Garland. "It was a responsibility," she remarks at one point about caring for a mother besieged by demons "I didn't become a kid until I was in my 30s. She would always say, 'What would I do without you?'" Later: "When I went on to that stage, I was with Judy Garland. My mother was no where in sight."
