Share

Update: “Blame It on Rio” actress Michelle Johnson has sold her Sunset Strip-area home for $4.1 million.

The three-bedroom, 3 1/2 -bathroom contemporary was built in 1970 and remodeled. There is a gated courtyard with water elements, an open floor plan, two fireplaces, a swimming pool and city and ocean views.

The nearly 3,000-square-foot house, in the celebrity-studded Bird Street neighborhood, was most recently listed at $4,795,000 but had entered the market at $5.85 million in early February.

Johnson, 43, was modeling before co-starring with Michael Caine in the 1984 “Rio.” Her credits include “Death Becomes Her” (1992) and other film and television roles, but she has been out of the acting spotlight in recent years. She is the ex-wife of former All-Star third baseman Matt Williams, who played for the San Francisco Giants, the Cleveland Indians and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
