Did Robert DeNiro pull off one of his greatest acting jobs with the insurer covering production delays for a film he was to shoot, only to be diagnosed with prostate cancer soon after? Or did he merely comply faithfully with the letter of his policy contract, as a court has ruled? Listen to the facts and decide.
Fireman's Fund sued DeNiro, charging that he hid the possibility of his suffering from a serious health problem, which eventually delayed production of his 2003 movie, Hide and Seek.
However, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu granted summary judgment in favor of the Oscar winner and tossed the case. The insurer says it may appeal.
