The Bold And The Beautiful Star Don Diamont Meets Hollywood Icon For Halloween

The Bold and the Beautiful star Don Diamont has been seen on screen a lot more of late as Bill Spencer has decided to make Brooke Logan Forrester his priority, but in real life, the actor spent Halloween giving out candy and spotting a man who looked very familiar.

Soap fans and movie fans can never forget when actor Dustin Hoffman played actor Michael Dorsey in the 1980s hit comedy film Tootsie. In it, Michael Dorsey got a role on a soap playing Dorothy Michaels, but he had to dress as a woman and pretend to be an actress before anyone would hire him.

The movie was a sensation and Hoffman went on to play many non-soap movie roles since then, but when he was out with his grandchildren this Halloween, he met Diamont who reminded him of another encounter years ago.

As Don Diamont tells it, he just thought it would be a normal Halloween of giving out candy. Since his own sons are now grown, they no longer trick or treat, so he and his wife stay home to see who will come to their door. Let him tell the story with this post from his Instagram account,

“If this doesn’t fall under the category of ‘ONLY IN LA,’ nothing does. I was taking a picture of @cindyambuehl handing out candy when I see the ONE AND ONLY Dustin Hoffman in the crowd at our gate. He was trick-or-treating with his grandchildren. Over 20 years ago we used to frequent the same spot for breakfast,” Diamont explained. “I had an original Midnight Cowboy (Best Picture Oscar Winner ) movie poster. Dustin Hoffman brilliantly played Ratso Rizzo, and was nominated for an Oscar. The poster had already been signed by Jon Voight. One morning I asked Dustin if he would mind signing it as well.”

“He could not have been nicer and was happy too. That framed poster hangs in our powder room. As their trick-or-treating group was about to leave I decided oh what the hell…This is too good! Soooo I walked up to Dustin and said, ‘I know this is going to sound crazy, but would you come to our house for a moment? You have to see something pretty special that’s hanging in our powder room. This is no doubt a first, but you’re going to get a kick out of it.'”

“He and his wife couldn’t have been nicer, and in they came. He couldn’t believe it. He said, ‘That’s an original poster. I wish I could sign it for you. Oh… It’s already signed.’ I told him that he had been nice enough to sign it for me over 20 years earlier at the Coral Tree Cafe. We all chatted a bit in our entranceway, and given the unusual circumstance, I asked if we could take a picture together. He said, ‘Of course, but we have to go back in the bathroom and take it in front of the poster.’ Amazing. Cindy was dealing with trick-or-treaters, so his incredibly sweet and patient wife took the picture having to basically straddle the toilet! Too funny! Classic! What a lovely guy! So there you have it… Rainman and $Bill in the toilet together on Halloween.”

We wonder if Dollar Bill would ever have a similar story because he lives in LA too. Stay tuned to The Bold and the Beautiful weekdays to see what Bill’s next adventure will be.
