I'm so glad everyone likes seeing the posts on 421 Broome. I know it helps me feel connected to the event, sad that it is.
Here is an article about Anne Hathaway looking at a loft apartment on Broadway, just two blocks away. (Yes, that's on the same street as the Bloomingdales SoHo store.) Dated January 13, only a week before Heath's death.
That's New York, for you. Death, taxes--and real estate. What had meant to be a curious, gossipy tid-bit ends up ineffably sad.
Anyway.

Would You Believe $30,000 Per Month?

Published Jan 13, 2008
Anne Hathaway, soon to be seen opposite Steve Carell as Agent 99 in the upcoming
Get Smart remake, has been spotted apartment-hunting downtown with her boyfriend, real-estate developer Raffaello Follieri.
The actress, star of
The Devil Wears Prada and
Becoming Jane, and Follieri, who was sued last spring by billionaire Ron Burkle for allegedly misappropriating funds in a development deal, are supposedly in the market for a luxe loft.
A source says they recently checked out a four-bedroom on
Broadway between Broome and Spring Streets that’s available to rent for $30,000-plus per month.
Past press reports have made much of Follieri’s appearances at events with a bodyguard, whereas the popular Hathaway travels sans entourage; apparently, nothing has changed, as he brought security for their tour of the apartment and she showed up on her own.
Calls to their representatives for comment went unreturned.
