Ray Bradbury looks a lot like Dustin Hoffman!

Heh...I thought that too, when I found this photo. Of course, Bradbury looks very different these days – much older, quite frail, with huge sagging jowls. I chose this photo because I loved his smile, the fact that there were books in the background, and well...he's holding a kitty!

i agree -- add glasses, some white hair, and dustin hoffman becomes ray bradbury. and if bradbury is jowly these days, dustin will catch up one day.

what's with the watch? it looks like one of those groovy 70s combo watch-calorie counter things.

Dustin Hoffman crossed with Charles Schulz:

I saw Bradbury speak last July. Not in great shape physically, but very very sharp. We're lucky to still have him.

Yes! And all three are wonderful, talented gents, aren't they?

Yes, I agree, Brian. We are very lucky to still have him. I was inspired to use that quote this morning because I saw Bradbury being interviewed on a program here in Ontario. (The program is called 'Saturday Night at the Movies'). He was being interviewed in order to discuss the movie and his novel
Fahrenheit 451.

Bradbury is so wonderfully quotable!
