Oscar winner’s taking his sled on the road
James Coburn, who co-starred earlier this year with Cuba Gooding Jr. in the movie “Snow Dogs” and will co-star with Gooding again in the 2003 sequel, and his wife, Paula, have listed their Beverly Hills-area home at $5.9 million.
The actor, who won a best supporting actor Academy Award for his role as Nick Nolte’s alcoholic father in “Affliction” (1998), and his wife want a smaller home as they plan to do some traveling.
They have owned their Beverly Hills-area home since 1991, when it was built.
The five-bedroom, 11,728-square-foot home has a master suite with his-and-hers marble baths, a den, a library-study, dining and breakfast rooms, a bar, a basement, a sauna and a Pilates room.
The gated five-story estate has an elevator and sweeping views of the city. There is a pool on the half-acre grounds.
Coburn, 74, plays a crusty novelist married to a much younger woman in the just-released “The Man From Elysian Fields,” produced by Andy Garcia and co-starring Mick Jagger and Anjelica Huston.
Joyce Flaherty of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills South, has the listing.
This good sport is hoping to sell, period
Tom Arnold, co-host of the Fox Sports Network show “Best Damn Sports Show Period,” has put his Beverly Hills-area home on the market at $3.25 million.
The actor-comedian listed the home at about $3.4 million in May 2001 but took it off the market about a year ago. Now he and his bride of a few months, political consultant Shelby Roos, want a new place to call home.
Arnold has owned the house he listed since June 1998, when he bought it from singer-actress Paula Abdul. He was divorced from hairstylist Julie Champnella in 1999. His earlier, much-publicized marriage to TV star Roseanne ended in 1994.
The 6,800-square-foot house, built in 1990, has a master suite with a sitting room, a terrace and two walk-in closets. The home also has three other family bedrooms plus a maid’s quarters, gym, wine cellar, family room and pool.
The Spanish villa-style house is at the end of a cul-de-sac in a gated community.
Arnold, 43, joined the Fox Sports show in 2001. He starred in the WB sitcom “The Tom Show” from 1997 to 1998. He was acclaimed for his supporting role opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in the James Cameron movie “True Lies” in 1994.
Arnold’s autobiography, “How to Lose Six Pounds in Five Years,” is expected to be published in November. He appears with Jet Li in the movie “Cradle 2 the Grave,” due out this fall.
Stephen Shapiro at Westside Estate Agency, Beverly Hills, has the listing.
Home of the original Ozzie sold
Ron Fair, president of A&M; Records, has sold his traditional-style Hollywood home for $2.2 million.
The five-bedroom, 5,200-square-foot house was the home for many years of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, and the front of the house appeared weekly at the beginning of the Nelsons’ ABC series, “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” which marked its debut 50 years ago.
Fair, who signed and produced Christina Aguilera, had owned the home since 1993. The house, built in 1916, has been updated in recent years and has a refurbished kitchen and four bathrooms.
Fair has relocated to a newly built modern-style residence designed by Michael Mueller that he purchased for about $3.1million. William Rose of Westside Estate Agency, Beverly Hills, had the listing on the house Fair sold and represented Fair in buying his new home, which Alexis Valentin had listed at Sotheby’s International Realty, Beverly Hills.
Meanwhile back on the ranch ...
Glen Larson, a producer of such ‘70s and ‘80s hit series as “McCloud,” “Quincy,” “Magnum, P.I.,” “Knight Rider” and “The Six Million Dollar Man,” has sold his Bel-Air home for $6.3 million. He is moving to a ranch he owns in the San Fernando Valley.
The Bel-Air house has six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in 13,000 square feet. The 1927 home, on almost an acre, is walled and gated. Its floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlook the Bel-Air Country Club.
The home also has a 35-millimeter screening room, a master suite with his-and-hers baths, a pool area with rolling lawns, a two-bedroom guest house and a wine cellar.
Larson, 64, is also a director, a composer of film and TV theme music, a screenwriter and a novelist. He was a member of the Four Preps singing group during the 1950s.
Elaine Young and Barbara Eisner at DBL, Beverly Hills, had the listing. Dee Crawford of Re/Max represented the buyers.
