A New York City mansion once home to actress Helen Hayes, comedian Rosie O’Donnell and Russell Crowe to name just a few, has gone on the market for $4.75 million.
Pretty Penny, at 235 North Broadway in the northern New York City suburbs, has been a magnet for celebrities ever since actress Helen Hayes and her husband, playwright Charles MacArthur, bought it in 1932.
The couple entertained some of the biggest stars of the age at the property, including Marilyn Monroe, Rosalind Russell, Ed Sullivan, Noel Coward, Laurence Olivier, Katharine Hepburn and Vivien Leigh.
