CONNECT




When i framed this question I'd only one answer in my mind.But Rajiv Rai has given a completely different way of looking at the connect.
Explanation 1:
The answer that i was looking for was Truman Capote.Nakki and Samba have got it spot on.
Capote was portrayed by Philip Hoffman whose performance earned him many awards, including a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, an Independent Spirit Award and an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
Capote had been a correspondent of the Rolling Stones magazine.
The character of Dill in 'To Kill A Mockingbird' was modeled on Harper Lee's childhood friend, Truman Capote
Explanation 2:
As explained by Rajiv, the movie Almost Famous can also be considered the connect.Here's how it goes
Almost Famous is a semiautobiographical account of Cameron Crowe coming of age as a Rolling Stone journalist .
The opening credits is a tribute to the movie To kill a mockingbird.
Philip Hoffman plays Lester Bangs in the movie
Kudos Rajiv,Samba and Nakki
