It is back on th emarket for 42 million $ as of now. The owner, a hedge funder, apparently began working on the restoration, but is running out of money and had to relist it. Some work was accomplished, like removing the kitchen and bathrooms, fixing the roof & gutters...just generally un-doing the Helmsley-ness of it...but when he bought it for $32 million he was flush...now...not so much...conclude what you will, I think the curse is intact. 14 June 2011…It appears that said curse remains in place.

Yeah, that one. I know that the book and TV movie are allegedly greatly exaggerated, but what a story, regardless. I recently came across this one and I like it, too! I'm a principal real estate broker and yes, if I get a listing like these two, yes, I will warn every client I take to see the house. I don't need a commission that badly...not enough to sacrifice my "immortal soul to eternal damnation." Well, time to go. See ya later!

Moran in May of 1965. She was 41 he was 29. She was the aforementioned showgirl and he was a New York City cop who became a Palm Beach realtor. It was his first marriage, her third. Although estranged from Dodge at his death in 1963, Gregg claimed that she collected something like $9,000,000 in out-of-court settlements of suits against his estate and his mother (for trying to break up their marriage). Someone needs to write a book or movie about her. It would make a great Lifetime movie: "Adventures of the Original Cougar"! Gregg Sherwood Dodge married Daniel D. Moran in May of 1965.
