Kragen has listed his Beverly Hills home for sale at $5,595,000. The guard-gated Mediterranean was built in 1998, and Kragen has been the sole owner. The 7,488-square-foot house has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It has mountain and valley views and a two-story foyer with a classic sweeping staircase. There is a gourmet chef's kitchen and a resort-size pool and spa. It is across the street from three community tennis courts and two racquetball courts.
Kragen, by trade, is an entertainment lawyer. But his work as an activist has propelled his fame. In 1985, he was instrumental in securing the talent to appear on the fundraising single "We Are the World." That included Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers and other headliners.
The following year, Kragen organized Hands Across America, a transcontinental human chain of 5 million people, to raise money to feed the hungry and homeless.
Kragen was Harry Belafonte's longtime agent and served as personal manager to country music star Kenny Rogers. He also teaches at UCLA and is the author of "Life Is a Contact Sport." He most recently produced "The 12 Dogs of Christmas," a film based on his daughter's bestselling children's book.
Ron Holliman of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, has the listing.
His ' Halloween' haunt is for sale
Baby-sitting has never been the same since "Halloween" premiered in 1978. Much copied but rarely matched, this classic horror film gave birth to a genre -- and it did so without slash and gore.
An executive producer of the original "Halloween," (no, young 'uns, not Rob Zombie) has listed his Hollywood Hills home for $2.95 million. Irwin Yablans, the distributor of horror, hopes to sell his three-bedroom, 4 1/2 -bathroom traditional home near the Sunset Strip. It has a pool and spa.
The 3,407-square-foot house features a classic center hall plan. There is a formal dining room, crown moldings and a fireplace in the living room and a gourmet kitchen. And for those who believe in ghosts, Groucho Marx is believed to have lived here after World War II.
Yablans must be the envy of much of modern Hollywood, having made a movie for $320,000 that spawned seven sequels and a remake.
Barbara Tenenbaum of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, has the listing.
Batchelder tiles? Paging Brad Pitt . . .
If you have Brad Pitt's number handy, he'd probably appreciate a jingle about this. Pitt is said to admire Batchelder tiles -- and this listing is loaded with them.
A hilltop vintage Spanish villa in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles with 800 Batchelder tiles has just come on the market for $1,899,000.
It is owned by French artist Sylvain Copon, who has a studio in downtown L.A.
The house, built in 1939, is about 2,650 square feet and has four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. It sits on 1.6 acres and has a mature olive orchard. There are panoramic views from every room.
The home, which is gated, features hand-hewed wood beams, bronze window screens, chair rails and moldings, plank doors and tongue-and-groove oak floors. There is a fireplace, plus several water features and an octagonal breakfast room. Charm, charm, charm.
Ernest A. Batchelder was one of the country's premier tile makers and personified the Arts and Crafts movement. His studio was in Pasadena; today, his tiles -- although not rare -- add value to a home and are greatly sought after.
Copon's works are shown in Europe and North America.
Magnus Hellberg and Alexander Firempong, both of Sotheby's International Realty in Brentwood, have the listing.
