When All the President’s Men premiered on April 4, 1976, audiences loved the true story of two young reporters who helped bring down a presidency. Directed by Alan J. Pakula and based on the book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the film chronicled the Watergate scandal and became one of the most critical political thrillers of its time, winning four Academy Awards and earning a place in film history. With the September 16, 2025 death of star Robert Redford at the age of 89, only five cast members of the film remain.

Dustin Hoffman starred as Carl Bernstein, one-half of the reporting duo that cracked open the Watergate story. Hoffman was already a major star by the mid-1970s, thanks to roles in The Graduate and Midnight Cowboy, and this film only solidified his reputation as one of the great actors of his generation. In the years that followed, Hoffman continued to deliver acclaimed performances in films like Kramer vs. Kramer, Tootsie and Rain Man, the latter earning him his second Academy Award. While he generally stays out of the spotlight these days, his most recent role was voicing Shifu in the four installment of the Kung Fu Panda franchise.
