Celebrities Sued Over House Sale

An Encino couple, who purchased a home last year from actress Kirstie Alley and her estranged husband, alleged Tuesday in a lawsuit that the entertainers failed to disclose that the house was in the flight path of the Van Nuys airport.

As a result, Jack and Katherine White contend in their Los Angeles Superior Court suit, they have been subjected to “loud and obnoxious” noise conditions that created a nuisance, reduced their property value and “negatively affected the quiet use and enjoyment of said real property.”

According to the lawsuit, Alley, star of the television show “Veronica’s Closet,” and her estranged husband, Richard Parker Jr., should have disclosed the noise condition when they entered a sales contract with the Smiths last March. Instead, Alley and Parker allegedly misrepresented the property, on Louise Avenue just south of Ventura Boulevard, as free of neighborhood nuisances.

The Whites are seeking unspecified damages from Alley and Parker, who is better known by his stage name, Parker Stevenson.

The Whites’ attorney, P. Carey Caruso, could not be reached for comment, nor could representatives of Alley and Parker, who are separated.

Stevenson, co-star of “The Hardy Boys” during the late 1970s, filed for divorce last March from Alley, a former star of the TV series “Cheers,” seeking to end their 13-year marriage. They have two young children.
