Fun Movie Props

Robert DeNiro

If you want to see a vast collection of movie memorabilia, a display of Robert DeNiro’s film career is  on display at the University of Texas in Austin.  The memorabilia was donated by DeNiro to the Harry Ransom Center Library and Museum in 2006 and documents DeNiro’s movie career from 1968 through 2005.  Included in the display are scripts, photographs, movie props, costumes and other documents.

There are approximately 8,500 items in the collection and even include the boxing robe that DeNiro wore in Raging Bull.  It took University curators over two years to organize and catalog all of the items.  The estimated worth of the display is $5 million.

If DeNiro is not your favorite actor, you can also see other collections at the Ransom Center from producer David O. Selznick, screenwriter Ernest Lehman and acress Gloria Swanson.
