It was a mistake, and he knew it. He’d finally stumbled upon his true vocationsuccess of The Graduate would bring both joy and pain. Anne, having left the ballet and begun work as a counsellor for the blind, was afraid that Dustin would be taken from her by some Hollywood starlet. And she was right.
