all of the above and i would add al pacino, robert dinero, denzel washington, caroline kennedy, sean combs, charles rangel, jackie gleason, barbara streisand. jz. judge sotomayer. tony danza, rudy giuliani, and judge judith sheindlin
all of these people have real ny accents, and represent a variety of ny accents. there are other famous nyer's that may have lost the actual accent, or they no longer use it in public.
i would also add bugs bunny to the list.
