Everything you always wanted to know about Robert De Niro but were unable to access is now on show at the University of Texas in Austin. De Niro has donated more than 1,300 boxes of papers, props and costumes to the university's Harry Ransom Centre. The collection includes De Niro's annotated copy of the screenplay for The Deer Hunter, the leopardskin boxing robe he wore in Raging Bull, and photos of his make-up tests for that movie; and the New York taxi licence he obtained when preparing to play Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.
