Dustin Hoffman
Was abusive to co-star Meryl Streep during the filming of Kramer vs. Kramer (1979).
Hoffman repeatedly antagonized Streep throughout the production of the film, slapping her in the face while filming one scene, and shattering a wine glass against a wall while filming another, sending glass shards into her hair. Both incidents were unscripted. He also taunted and berated her throughout the shoot, invoking the name of her deceased fiancé John Cazale in order to get a rise out of her and improve her performance.
