Robert De Niro's child-minder, Lucyna Turyk-Wawrynowicz has been charged with stealing jewellery from the actor and his wife Grace Hightower. The 35-year-old Polish nanny, who has cared for the offspring of some of New York's most famous families, was arrested for allegedly stealing $500,000 worth of jewellery, shoes, clothing and money from various customers over the course of several years.
Police believe the De Niros are Turyk-Wawrynowicz's most recent victims. The nanny has been charged with several counts of theft and criminal possession of property.
A spokesman for the New York Police Department says, "Grace Hightower called the police and reported that some earrings that were very valuable were missing from her home. That led to an investigation and eventually Ms. Turyk-Wawrynowicz was arrested at 8pm on Monday."

Whether we want to admit it or not, even now, in year 2012, there are still big gender biases in some fields of life. While it's generally understandable that men should do more heavy lifting than women and knitting fits a bit better for the women (even though I am aware even here there are many people who want to disagree), art is one of those things where our gender really should not play any significant role at all. And within the past decade things have started to change even on this front and even on the more conservative arenas such as Bukowskis - the top Nordic auction house.
