An Authentic Espresso Experience in the heart of Detroit? Priceless.
Tribeca Film Festival co-founder, Robert De Niro speaks at the TF, TFFV Party during the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival at The Smyth Hotel on April 27, 2010 in New York City.
It was an offer he couldn't refuse. Famously reticent Robert De Niro will share a cup of coffee with an auction bidder who paid $8,500 for the privilege of some face time with the "Raging Bull" star. There was no word on whether the winner can call him Bobby.
The two-time Oscar winner donated the sitdown - and a pair of all-access tickets to his Tribeca Film Festival - to benefit the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights.
Ethel Kennedy, matriarch of her branch of the Kennedy clan, persuaded De Niro to contribute this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to the cause.
The center continues the human rights work of her husband, assassinated during the 1968 presidential campaign.
