Diane Keaton got a dose of New York grit when she found herself in an elevator in the Municipal Building with the kind of male youths you hope not to meet in a dark alley.

Keaton was en route to WNYC Radio to be in terviewed by Kurt Andersen for his weekly art show, "Studio 360." "You're famous. You're a famous actress," said one young man who then struggled to come up with a title to one of her films. "Can I have your autograph?" the man asked. "But you don't know who I am," Keaton protested, and then gave him one any way.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" Keaton asked. "Bail refund," the fellow explained. "I get a refund on my bail because I was acquitted." There was a chorus of congratulations as the guy and his friends got off. One of Keaton's handlers remarked, "Now, in L.A., you wouldn't have been riding up to an inter view with a felon." Keaton replied, "He wasn't a felon, that's the thing!"
