He’s Got It Together and Is Heading Home
Actor Christian Slater, who has spent most of his time in New York for more than a year, has listed his Hollywood Hills home at about $2.4 million.
Slater, 30, was born and raised in New York, and he appeared in the Broadway musicals “Copperfield” (1981) and “Merlin” (1983) before he moved to L.A. in 1987 and made his breakthrough film role in “Heathers” (1989).
He co-starred in the movies “Interview With the Vampire” (1994) and “Broken Arrow” (1996) before producing and starring in the movies “Hard Rain” (1998) and “Very Bad Things” (1998). Slater returned to Broadway in 1998 to appear in the drama “Side Man” and just finished filming “The Contender.”
Slater served 59 days in a California jail in early ’98 on drug and battery charges. This year, he has attended sobriety meetings daily in New York City, and his fiancee, TV producer Ryan Haddon, gave birth to their first child.
“It’s been such a miracle in my life, after all the things that I’ve been through in the past few years,” Slater has said.
On slightly more than an acre with a pool and city views, the actor’s Hollywood Hills home has three bedrooms in 5,500 square feet. He has owned the Mediterranean-style, walled and gated home since October 1993.
