Hoffman feared he'd flunked Graduate audition

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.
