She was an aspiring actress before she became a reality star and then a chat show host.

So it must have been quite a treat for Bethenny Frankel to have a chance meeting with one of Hollywood's legendary heavyweight actors Harvey Keitel.

The 42-year-old was grabbing a bite to eat at a lobster food truck in New York when she ran into the 70s film icon, on Wednesday evening.

The Taxi Driver and Mean Streets star looked to be in a chipper mood as he was spotted helping Bethenny pick out delicious items on the street food menu.

The silver maned 74-year-old looked dapper in dark framed glasses, a coal grey sports coat, and dark chinos.

Donning comfortable brown loafers, the Reservoir Dogs actor stooped down to chat with petite Bethenny on the street corner.

And Frankel looked more than pleased to mingle with the actor favoured by directors such as Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino.

Wearing her dark locks in flowing waves over her shoulders, the former reality star donned a long trained cardigan and skinny jeans for the outing.

Showing off her famously fit figure, Bethenny was stunning in a tight white T-shirt as she hid her highly recognisable face behind a set of aviator sunglasses.

But it wasn't only the serendipitous encounter that had the Bethenny host smiling as she clearly enjoyed the shellfish treats selected for her by Harvey.

And the star even picked off portions of her snack to feed her adorable three-year-old daughter Bryn, who sat placidly in a stroller.

Earlier in the day, Bethenny was spotted picking up the blonde tot from school as they pair wore some pre-emptive Halloween costumes.

Bryn looked adorable in a honeybee dress complete with antennae hairband. She also wore a pair of wings to complete the look.

Bethenny was much less dressed up than her daughter but she did wear a pink eye mask.

She looked equally delighted as she and her daughter giggled together on their way home.

Bethenny recently filmed a new episode of her self-titled chat show Bethenny with Vanilla Ice, where she spoke to the rapper about a recent diss by Miley Cyrus.

In the episode which will air on Thursday October 17, Bethenny said: ‘Miley said in Rolling Stone, “Justin Bieber is trying really hard I just don't want to see him f**k that up to where people think he's Vanilla Ice. I tell him that, like you don't want to become a joke.” So what do you say to that?’

Surprisingly the 45-year-old rapper agreed, saying, ‘I loved it. I totally concur and agree... It's like a snow globe, he's going through the part of his life where he is trying to go into being an adult and when you are living an artificial life where you have all those fans out there and all these people around you that tell you what you want to hear it's not real. It's not real reality.

‘At one point when that snow globe settles he's going to have to figure out what his purpose in life is and he's going to have to transition into being an adult. He's probably pretty upset because of the heat coming on him right now and unfortunately for him it's entertaining for us to watch the self-destruction of the celebrity because it is more fascinating than his new single or anything.’

However, Vanilla Ice did warn Miley to heed her own advice, quipping: ‘Justin’s talented, I wish him the best. Miley should pay attention to that advice as well or she will be a wrecking ball.’

He added: ‘They forget that people are looking up to them and they forget that they still have those parents and those kids that bought the records and really look up to them and then they go out and pee on people or have sex with a foam finger on stage and try to twerk and all this stuff and it's like, 'Woah, shocking' and in their mind they are probably just trying to transition hoping people will take them serious now and not like a Disney act or something like that.’

Vanilla Ice gives his views on Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber

Warning: Vanilla Ice says he agreed with Miley Cyrus' warning to Justin Bieber not to end up like him but warned her to take her own advice

While Vanilla claims as an entertainer he understands Miley’s recent wild behaviour, including her raunchy performance at the MTV VMAs, he warns she could be self-destructing.

‘It is art and she's having fun and they are both talented,’ he said. ‘It's almost like a self-destruction thing going on and it's kind of scary to the parents watching it I understand the whole thing, as an entertainer I get it.’

The legend that is Harvey.. Always had a major crush on him - loved him in Jackie Brown, The Piano and Nikita with Bridget Fonda, which I still think is a great movie - perhaps a little underrated. ;o)
