Jeff, the realtor from the network, would have to do better. Normy and I looked at each other and decided that it would never do and that Mr. No subzero refrigerator and a dishwasher that was at least five years old. The film crew did get a great reaction shot when I first looked out the window. The view from the master bedroom also seemed to be straight into the picture window of the master bath next door and I really didn’t need to see a naked Harvey Fierstein relaxing in his garden tub.
The most recent owners had torn out all the lovely wall to wall carpeting in various day glow colors which Helen was so fond of and replaced it with some rather dull woods. At first glance, it was promising with a lovely setting of trees and chaparral but the interior was tragic beyond belief. Fortunately, the cooler in which we had the pitcher of mai tais chilling was ready to hand and acted as a lovely life preserver when we tossed it down to her.Īnyway, the first day of shooting had us heading up Mandeville Canyon in a stretch limousine to look at a mid-seventies structure of wood siding and glass that had once belonged to Helen Lawson. It was quite the maneuver getting the yacht turned around so we could fish her out again. I was working out a little tap routine for a proposed musical adaptation of The Poseidon Adventure on the poop deck under the tutelage of Lulu Pigg, my tap therapist and Madame Mimi, my vocal coach when I did a few too many pirouettes and my extension caught Leah, my plucky factotum, right between the shoulder blades, knocking her over the rail and into LA harbor. We are nicely ensconced on the yacht under the watchful eye of Captain Drew but it really isn’t enough space for all of our projects. With half of Chateau Maine having fallen into the canyon (which has caused quite the breeze through the hallways of the west wing), Normy and I are a bit under the gun to find a new domicile which I can turn into a fabulous showplace of both form and function. After several title changes, we’ve decided to call it Hooray for Hollywood House Hunting with Vicki Lester: an intimate look at how the right piece of real estate becomes a living legend.
