Al Pacino, the veteran actor, was honored at the Public Theater Gala in Central Park. Pacino is known to perform at the event entitled "Shakespeare in the Park."

During his speech, the "Godfather"star took the crowd back even further when he waxed poetic about attending the very first Shakespeare in the Park performance held at the Delacorte in 1962.
