I just wish hollywood still made movies like the golden era, maybe one day we could see another deer hunter, awakenings, taxi driver, Godfather 2, raging bull, once upon a time in america, midnight run, heat, casino, ronin etc

I "met" DeNiro when he was filming in NYC. Two friends and I were at a pub in Philadelphia one Thursday evening having some dinner and then decided to trek up north to have some fun in Manhattan. Nearly 11pm, we parked in Tribeca, turned a corner and were greeted with cameras and groups of people working on the block at night. It was insane. Studio seats with Ethan Hawke's and Anne Bancroft's names on them, people giving orders to other people, and a few civilians having a peek-in. And then there he was, Robert DeNiro in costume for Great Expectations(one of his fans told us), sauntering around the area in front of us, gearing up for his next scene. Very awkward sequence took place where we all dared each other to go up to talk with him, a bunch of boy-men looking upon one of their movie idols.
He apparently caught on, or overheard us talking about Goodfellas and Mean Streets and sort of gazed over from 10 yards away. He looked awful in the makeup they put on him, but then he did something magnificent. He turned directly toward us and contorted his face like he did in GoodFellas, as he's smoking a ciggie in a bar with his one eye half shut, contemplating, as if he was again making the decision to take out Morrie. It was a kind gesture toward male fans who don't know what in hell to do in these cases. lol. We left after they shot a few scenes and went deeper into the city for some drinks. Good times.

Other favourites include, Jack Lemmon, Hanks, newman, Cagney, Bogey, John Wayne, Penelope ann miller, Nicholson, Pacino, tony Hopkins,Vivien leigh, harold lloyd, Brando, Stewart, Bette davis, walter matthau, Henry Fonda, harrison ford, chris walken, pfeiffer, Christian Bale, peter falk, Harvey Keitel, Decaprio, Pacino, charles bronson,Laurel and hardy, richard burton, kathryn hepburn etc etc I love all these people, theyre all just terrific

You missed several 100 actors and actresses. And yes, they are.
