Married, With Children and Moving On

KATEY SAGAL, who starred as Peg Bundy in one of TV’s longest-running sitcoms, “Married . . . With Children,” and her husband, musician Jack White, have sold their Los Feliz hacienda for close to its $1.5-million asking price, sources say.

The couple moved to a San Fernando Valley home that they consider more child-friendly, sources said. Sagal and White were married in 1993, and they have two children.

Sagal, 42, co-starred in “Married . . . With Children” for 11 seasons, until it wrapped this year. The show, which helped put the Fox Broadcasting Co. on the map as a new network, will live on in syndication.

Sagal, also a singer, recorded an album for Virgin Records in 1994 called “Well” and sang backup at various times for Bette Midler and Bob Dylan.

She is expected to appear in a new series, probably a sitcom, as soon as next fall. Sagal signed an exclusive two-year deal in July with CBS to develop the series and to appear in movies of the week.

She and White sold their home to cinematographer-director John Bailey and his wife, film editor Carol Littleton, sources say.

Bailey, in his early 50s, directed the 1994 movie “China Moon” and the 1991 film adaptation of Lily Tomlin’s one-woman show “The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe” (1991), which Littleton edited. They both also worked on “The Big Chill” and “The Accidental Tourist.” They were married in 1972.

Built in the early 1930s, the Los Feliz house has three bedrooms plus maid’s quarters in nearly 5,000 square feet. The Spanish-style, courtyard home is on a promontory with a pool and gardens. The house also has a library, rooftop sleeping terrace and covered patio.

Karen Weiss of Fred Sands’ Los Feliz office represented the buyers.

Grammy-winning singer MELISSA ETHERIDGE and her companion of nine years, video and film director Julie Cypher, have sold their Beverly Hills home of about 18 months for a bit more than $3.2 million.

The couple, who became parents of a baby girl in February, moved to a nearby rental, sources say. They bought the home in early 1996 for slightly more than $3 million.

In July, Etheridge sold a Hollywood house that she owned for $470,000. Last year, she sold a home in the Hollywood Hills for about $1.3 million.

Etheridge, 36, earned a best female rock performance Grammy for “Ain’t It Heavy” in 1992, and she won the same Grammy in 1994 for “Come to My Window.” In September, she co-hosted opening night of the musical revue “Situation Tragedy” in West Hollywood to benefit the Aviva Center, a Los Angeles treatment center for abused teenage girls.

Etheridge, who announced that she was a lesbian at President Clinton’s inaugural, appeared on the sitcom “Ellen” in April when Ellen DeGeneres’ character came out of the closet.

Before Cypher had the baby, Etheridge continued to tour to support her fifth album “Your Little Secret,” but she was quoted then as saying that she planned to slow down the recording and touring to share parental duties.

The Beverly Hills house they sold was described as English Tudor in style with five bedrooms in 7,500 square feet. Built in 1926, the home is on about an acre of land.

Barbara Tenenbaum of Fred Sands’ Beverly Hills Estates Directors office represented the buyer, a local businessman and his wife, and Heidi Lake of the same office represented Etheridge and Cypher, other sources said.

Actress-singer BEVERLY D’ANGELO, probably best known for playing Ellen Griswold in three National Lampoon vacation movies she made with Chevy Chase in the 1980s, has sold the Hollywood home she owned since 1986 for a bit more than its $395,000 asking price. She lives in another house she owns on the Westside, sources said.

D’Angelo, 45, was a singer and cartoonist before playing singer Patsy Cline in the 1980 movie “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” She starred in Sam Shepherd’s play “Simpatico” on Broadway in 1994 and just finished filming “Illuminata” with John Turturro and Susan Sarandon.

She was married to an Italian duke in the 1980s but filed for divorce in 1995 and has been a companion of actor Al Pacino this year, sources say.

The house she sold was built in 1931 and is Spanish in style, with three bedrooms in just under 2,500 square feet. The gated house also has a bonus room that could be an office or a sun room. The master bedroom has a balcony with a city view.

Jana Jones of Coldwell Banker-Jon Douglas Co., Beverly Hills, had the listing.

Emmy-winning director-producer JOSEPH SARGENT, who also appeared on and off Broadway as an actor, and his wife, Carolyn, have listed their Malibu home of about 20 years for sale at just under $4 million and for lease at $18,500 a month.

Carolyn Sargent, a former actress, founded the nonprofit Free Arts for Abused Children and helped start Deaf West Theater for the deaf. She and her husband have held many benefits at their home.

The Sargents put the home on the market because he is on the road so much that when he has time off, they usually spend it at their home in Telluride, a source said; however, the Sargents probably will maintain a smaller home in Malibu.

A winner of four Emmy awards, he directed “Mandela and De Klerk,” co-starring Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine, for Showtime and “Miss Evers’ Boys,” starring Alfre Woodard and Laurence Fishburne, on HBO. Both films aired last February. Sargent is completing work on the Showtime movie “The Wall,” starring Edward James Olmos.

Carolyn Sargent designed and she and her husband built their Victorian-style Malibu home, which is on more than two acres on a bluff with a four-bedroom main house and a two-bedroom guest cottage. The home also has horse facilities and trails; three fireplaces, a spa and 187 feet of private beach.

Madelyn Gonzalez of Pritchett-Rapf & Associates, Malibu, shares the listing with Stephanie Raskin of Asher Dann, a division of Coldwell Banker-Jon Douglas Co., Beverly Hills.

Songwriter-producer RICHARD ADRISI has sold his Hollywood Hills home for nearly its $379,000 asking price. He has moved to another house nearby that he also owns.

Adrisi and his brother, Don, wrote several hits for such artists as the Association, Gladys Knight and the Carpenters.

The Adrisis are best known for writing the hit “Never My Love,” performed by the Association.

He was represented in his sale by Penni Ziers at Dalton, Brown & Long, Sunset Strip office. The selling agent was Hector Martinez of Mira Properties.

Former Gov. ROBERT LIST of Nevada (from 1979 to 1983) and his family have put their 573-acre ranch, in the Washoe Valley near Lake Tahoe, on the market at $3.25 million.

The List family, including the former governor’s brother, Alan, and their 95-year-old father, Frank, have owned the ranch since the early 1950s.

It includes an 18-acre homestead, 100 acres of pasture and 70 acres that can be developed. The rest of the ranch is natural range land.

The main house was built in 1935 by the fourth earl of Cowley, Christian Arthur Wellesley. Patterned after British country estates familiar to Lord Cowley, the five-bedroom home has a grand drawing room, solarium and root cellar. The earl was a direct descendant of the duke of Wellington, who defeated Napoleon.

Shari Chase and Clif Chase at Chase International, Lake Tahoe, have the listing.
