Needless to say that Robert De Niro indeed is a very generous actor judging from the donation he made to film students at a university. The Academy Award-winning actor is donating his collection of film-related materials, including scripts, costumes and correspondence, to the cultural archive at the university's Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center.
Naming the donation, there are more than 3,000 of his own costume items, in addition to that of scripts and photographs from his acclaimed films "Raging Bull," "The Deer Hunter" and "Taxi Driver," as well as a full monster body cast used in the 1994 production of "Frankenstein."
Several items will be on display in the lobby until June 18. After that the collection will be housed for research, although a few costumes may be rotated into the Ransom Center gallery.
