FILE - Richard Dreyfuss arrives at the Los Angeles premiere of"Murder at Yellowstone City" on Thursday June 23, 2022, at Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles. A venue issued an apology, Saturday, May 25, 2024, for comments made by Dreyfuss who showed up in a dress at a Jaws-themed event and made comments that were demeaning to women and the LGBTQ community.
During what was supposed to be a lighthearted question-and-answer session, some people in the audience walked out over his remarks about women in film and the #MeToo movement, transgender youths and LGBTQ+ rights, and the Academy Awards' efforts to foster inclusivity. Dreyfuss has previously said the academy's diversity efforts “make me want to vomit.”
The Cabot sent an email apology in which it said it didn't endorse the opinions of the actor, who also starred in “Close Encounters of The Third Kind,” “American Graffiti” and “The Goodbye Girl,” a performance for which he received an Oscar. The venue’s executive director didn't respond immediately to emails Tuesday, and a representative for Dreyfuss could not be reached.
