That was Bert,” he said. “Bert, I am happy you lived and that I got to know you.
I love you and I always will.”A very emotional Dustin Hoffman, a lifelong friend of Fields, called him “a rascal.”“My wife told me I should put my phone on silent before I came up here, and I said ‘but, what if it’s Bert?’” Hoffman said. “What I respected most was his loyalty.

Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic As every network jockeys to own the shiniest piece of IP possible to attract distracted viewers, the best thing to say about any adaptation is that it honors the source material while also evolving it, believably and purposefully, to fit a new medium.
