A few "low-lights" from the article:

De Niro had grown up in the bohemian New York scene in Greenwich Village, his mother, Virginia Admiral - and known by that name after her brief two-year marriage to Robert De Niro, Sr, was 'an independent businesswoman' who also framed pictures and made jewelry.

Robert De Niro, Sr. was an artist and regarded as a peer of - although not as successful as - Abstract Expressionist artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. He was also bisexual. . .

He felt jealousy if he thought one of his girlfriends was getting too much attention from another man. He was jealous and possessive. . .

The first pregnancy, she aborted without telling the actor. In late 1981, pregnant again, she now wanted this baby and when she told De Niro, that set him off 'on what she described as a series of ugly and intimidating conversations and encounters aimed at getting her to terminate the pregnancy'. . .

Scorsese and DeNiro became good friends and understood each other. But they also both loved cocaine. . .

There he was to become involved in a scene which ended in the tragedy of John Belushi’s death from drugs. . .

‘He treated Cybill like a pile of dogs***’. ‘It was horrendous to watch. The truth is, Bobby treated people badly if he decided they weren’t up to snuff.’

De Niro was too obvious with his frustration with the actress cringing at her line readings. But he treated Jodie Foster, only 13 at the time, like a queen.

I was telling a younger friend yesterday that someone is going after pedophiles in this country. I wouldn’t be surprised if we wont see a suicide by hanging again.

The old man was right.
