Robert De Niro

The island of Mafia has nothing to do with any of the characters in ‘The Goodfellas’, or ‘The Godfather’, except of course if Robert De Niro or Joe Pesci happened to visit the archipelago of Tanzania. The island’s airport named ‘Mafia Airport’ is located in Tanzania. It’s name derives from the Arabic word ‘morfiyeh’, which means archipelago.

The Tribeca Film Festival ended with a bang: a special 25th anniversary screening of the Martin Scorsese gangster film "Goodfellas."
                   
Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino walked the red carpet before the screening Saturday night.
                   
Liotta recalled Scorsese saying he wanted to shoot the film "like a gangster."
