DUSTIN HOFFMAN at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards, Los Angeles, California - 04.06.05 and ROBERT DUVALL at the premiere of 'Kicking and Screaming', Hollywood, California - 01.05.05

Actor Duvall admits he still marvels at the RAIN MAN's star's luck with the ladies when they were living with another acting wannabe, GENE HACKMAN.

He recalls, "That guy had more luck than JOE NAMATH (US sports star and playboy) with women. Even before he made it.

"He took the virginity away from the daughter of a presidential candidate the night before the guy lost the election."
