My Brush with Greatness
Bart, I sent this
before, but maybe you missed it (or rejected it! ).
Anyway, forgive me for sending again.
I will
print every 'greatness' story that comes in.
I was extra on the set of "New York, New York" in '74 starring
Robert De niro.
We were at MGM studio in the outdoor city set from 6 in the evening to
7 the next morning.
It was about 2 in the morning on the set. There were thousands of
extras for the street scene and
for some reason during a break, De niro was wandering around alone but
no one seemed to notice.
I could not miss the opportunity to
have an exchange with such an iconic personality so
I sauntered next to him and asked "So,
how's the movie going?". Bob said "Good".
Not wanting to overdo it, I smiled and
left.
And that was my conversation with one of the world's greatest actors.
