YONKERS, NY— November 5, 2026— Meet the Parents? Not quite, but sixth graders from Patricia A. DiChiaro School did meet actor, director and producer Ben Stiller, who starred in the Meet the Parents films as well as the Night at the Museum franchise.

Students were visiting Untermyer Gardens when their teacher, Ms. Danielle Nealis spotted Stiller filming in the neighborhood.

She asked if he would say hello, and he graciously obliged.

Ms. Nealis reports that Stiller was impressed with the gardens—he had no idea what was beyond the wall.

Who knows?  Perhaps Untermeyer Gardens will appear in a future Ben Stiller film.

If so, it will be because of Ms. Nealis and her sixth-grade class.
