(1888PressRelease) February 23, 2008 - Jim Dykes, of Rich & Famous Tours of New York, the celebrity “insider” tour, reports that movie star Robert DeNiro, a new resident of 88 Central Park West, has instructed everyone who lives in his posh building not to speak to him or recognize him. In addition, residents of the building say that DeNiro is using a fake name to receive mail and deliveries. Doormen are instructed to tell visitors and residents that unless one asks for the correct pseudonym, the response will be a cold, stony “I’m sorry, Robert DeNiro does not live here,” a practice reminiscent of Greta Garbo’s routine at her Eastside building, where doormen were required to identify her only as “Mrs. Brown.”

DeNiro, who recently abandoned Tri-Beca for the Upper Westside, purchased a much-publicized $21million co-op in a celebrity-crammed building overlooking Central Park West, reportedly because his wife Grace Hightower wanted a park view. DeNiro had been renting at The Langham at Central Park West and 73rd St. while shopping on both sides on Central Park and ultimately buying in the celebrity-crammed building at W. 69th St. “My source on this is impeccable” says Dykes, “It’s a longtime building resident and she tells me that she was astonished to hear these new rules and requirements.” Other celebrities in the building include Sting, producer Lorne Michaels, Pia Lindstrom and retired film star Celeste Holm.
