He's often one of Hollywood most politically outspoken celebrities. But not Saturday night when actor Robert De Niro was whisked away from reporters after doing only a handful of interviews at the Carousel of Hope Ball. A fundraiser for the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, the annual event supports both the Center's care facilities, as well as the Children's Diabetes Foundation's efforts to find a cure for those with Type 1 diabetes. De Niro was the night's honoree, for his longtime support of the Center and Foundation.
