Anne Byrne Hoffman (born September 28, 1943) is an American actress. She had a small role as the wife of Woody Allen's philandering best friend in Manhattan (1979), and also appeared in Why Would I Lie? (1980) and A Night Full of Rain (1978). She was the first wife of actor Dustin Hoffman, having one child, Jenna Byrne (born October 15, 1970), by him. Hoffman adopted Byrne's daughter from a previous marriage, Karina Hoffman-Birkhead (born 1966). Byrne and Hoffman divorced in 1980 and both remarried that same year, Byrne to Ivan Kronenfeld, who also had a small role in a major Woody Allen film: Barbara Hershey's husband in Hannah and Her Sisters.
Byrne and Hoffman lived on West 11th Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan when in 1970 members of The Weather Underground, a group of left-wing extremists protesting the Vietnam war, became responsible for the inadvertent ignition of weapons they'd been stockpiling in the house next door to the couple. Dustin Hoffman can be seen in footage from the scene.
