No one should judge her before seeing the documentary made about her: Joan Rivers, A Piece of Work. <br /><br />The apartment is over the top. The interior you either love or hate. But the space is amazing. A really unique, if odd, floorplan. Not cookie cutter. One of a kind, much like its owner. <br /><br />They broke the mould when they made Joan. <br /><br />The reason she's selling is because she's in LA most of the week working on Fashion Police. Her apparent goal is to buy a small place in The Pierre Hotel.Viva!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-75913825294011648692012-01-17T21:53:05.861-08:002012-01-17T21:53:05.861-08:006:46 One might be more honest but less kind and sa...6:46 One might be more honest but less kind and say "Edgar, who understandably committed..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-16717189209457783702012-01-17T18:46:39.376-08:002012-01-17T18:46:39.376-08:00Joan Rivers owned a beautiful southern colonial ho...Joan Rivers owned a beautiful southern colonial house on Ambazac Way in Bel-Air next to one of the Bel-Air Country Club's fairways.

Maybe she's spending more of her time there, assuming she still owns it.<br /><br />Not long after she bought it, I found myself in line right behind her at a local bookstore. She was expensively dressed, demanding, rude to the counter clerk, short, alarmingly knock-kneed, and - the plastic surgery, when seen up close, was tragic.<br /><br />She was being dogged that day by a New York Post reporter who had followed her to CT after she'd allegedly minorly stabbed a rental car clerk with a pen that very morning in Manhattan, so this was not a good day in Joanland. Said reporter collared me outside the bookstore, which I had departed first since it was clear that mere mortals were not going to get anywhere until she was dealt with. He identified himself, showed a press I.D., and asked me if she was still in there. I don't know why, but I said she had left.<br /><br />I liked Ms. Rivers' standup very much back in the '60s, but the ruder and meaner she got over the years the less I thought of her. Rude and mean is really funny to lots of people but it's just not my thing. You could argue that she was being hounded in a karmic sort of way, after how outright awful she has been both onstage and in private life to many people. But when you see her in person, she's just plain old, old and cranky and miserable. I think it was her age that made me mislead that reporter.Suzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-13066753658449758462012-01-16T11:32:26.316-08:002012-01-16T11:32:26.316-08:00The master bedroom has its own walk-in closet -- t...The master bedroom has its own walk-in closet -- the mezzanine leads to the CEDAR walk-in, presumably where one stores one's old faces.
