Movie Stars in Ulster County

There was a piece in the Ulster County Press today about famous faces here in Ulster County by Richard Thomaselli. It gave a run down on the star power found around the little villages that dot this picturesque farm country. A- list actors have found a second, third or even fourth home here. Topping the list is Robert DeNiro who has a home in Gardiner. Word is he likes the food at a certain four star bistro in High Falls. Cannot blame him the food is damn good. Adian Quinn has been a longtime resident of High Falls and has gained a great reputation for being community minded. Playing golf at Stone Dock is a long way from swinging at a five star resort in California, but he does regularly play the nine holes there. Uma Thurman has long ago won great reviews from Woodstock residents for her down to earth attitude. My son and his buddies recently sat with Willem Dafoe at the diner in New Paltz for an impromptu Q & A section.

My favorite encounter with star power was when Steve Buscemi bugged me for a light on the porch of a restaurant not long ago. We had a nice chat about things local, he recently bought Harvey Keitel’s hideaway. Is it time to set up a table in the front yard and sell maps to the stars homes? Nope we all share a love of privacy here.
