connellyIn the latest issue of Time Out NY, we learn that even wealthy movie stars have brownstone horror stories:

Having moved her brood from a cramped Manhattan apartment to a cozy brownstone in her home borough of Brooklyn, Connelly is also well acquainted–despite her presumably hefty budget–with the hell that is Gotham real estate…”Right after we moved in, the toilets started overflowing out of the tops of the tanks. Then it gets even weireder: We took a trip to Scotland, and the minute we get off the plane, there are all these voice messages from our alarm company saying the fire department is at our house. We later found out that something happened on the fifth floor of the building, and water was gushing everywhere–through the ceiling, down the walls…By the end of it, there was a foot of water in our kitchen.”

We’re not sure the “cozy” description is terribly apt, but, man, what a bummer!

  1. Moved her brood from a “cramped” manhattan apt?
    I used to live downstairs from her in this
    “cramped” apt on Greenwich St and while it’s
    no entire brownstone in the slope, it goes
    to show that one man’s castle is another
    movie star’s shoebox. I know that her apt was larger than the one we were in and I’d love to be “crammed” into that tiny space she used to squat in…
