First edition of Pileggi's true crime story, basis for the classic Martin Scorsese movie of the same name, starring Robert De Niro. Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by Nicholas Pileggi and Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro on the title page.Robert Anthony De Niro Jr. (born 1943) is an American actor and filmmaker widely regarded as one of the greatest screen actors in the history of cinema, whose collaborations with director Martin Scorsese across five decades produced some of the most celebrated performances in the American film canon, including his Academy Award-winning roles in The Godfather Part II (1974) and Raging Bull (1980), the latter for which he famously gained sixty pounds to portray the aging Jake LaMotta. The co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival and the Tribeca Productions company, De Niro has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Cecil B. DeMille Award, and his body of work spanning more than one hundred films places him alongside Marlon Brando and Dustin Hoffman in any serious accounting of the Method acting tradition's greatest practitioners.
