Robert DeNiro

Robert DeNiro — one of the defining actors of American cinema: The Godfather Part II, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter.

Doug Eaton's neighbor in their Manhattan building from 2007 to 2018 — occupying the large apartment that faces Doug's and sprawls above it (previously Harvey Weinstein's). DeNiro's ex-wife remained in the apartment until 2024.

Doug notes that the building's more recent arrivals "have tended to be taller than 6'4" and involved with hedge funds" — a sharp contrast to the trio of shorter, artistically distinguished neighbors who defined the building's character in earlier decades.
