6 or 7 years ago, I forget now, I owned a triple white '77 Cadillac Coupe deVille, and had it registered with several agencies that advertised cars to various movie/TV and photoshoot companies. Anyway, a group who were making a low budget Mob film saw my car and got in touch with them. Eric Roberts, although I never saw him on the set, was in the film. From what I saw years later in clips and trailers the movie was so bad and so corny I still to this day have not seen it in its entirety.
The car was also in a photoshoot with Homeland star, Claire Danes. A photo of her sitting in the driver's seat made it to the cover of the UK edition of Vogue Magazine. Unfortunately, all you could see of the car was the interior! Made no sense to me. However, I later found two other shots that they had taken online.
The photoshoot took place at what was then called the "Clinton Diner" in Maspeth Queens, NY. They have since changed their name to the Goodfellas Diner, because it had appeared in the film Goodfellas. It was the diner where Robert De Niro knocks over the telephone booth after learning that his friend Tommy (Joe Pesci) had been "whacked" instead of being made.
That's Eric Roberts, Julia's brother, on the end on left.
As for the Claire Danes/Goodfellas Diner photoshoot...
And here are the other 2 photos from the shoot that I later found online. But only that cover shot made it in the Vogue article about her.
