Audrey Hepburn’s Former LA Mansion Sells for $9.4 Million

The only thing better than breakfast atTiffany’s? Breakfast at Audrey Hepburn’s former Brentwood rental home—which hit the market last summer for the first time in 34 years. The price? $10.9 million. Now, a buyer (and presumably a fan of thesilver screen legend) purchased the Los Angeles hideaway for $9.4 million, a nearly 14 percent discount. Jennifer Montague and the Larson Burmester Group of Sotheby’s International Realty handled the sale.

The house was first owned by Mildred and Edwin Knopf, relatives of Alfred Knopf who owned the renownedpublishing house, in the early 1950s. That was before British actress Deborah Kerr and her husband, Peter Viertel, snagged it.Hepburnleased the house twice from Kerr while she was abroad shooting films. According to several Sotheby’s International Realty listing agents, Hepburn was there in the spring of 1950, during a screen test ofQuo Vadis(Hepburn was considered for the part of Lygia, but the role, in fact, went to Kerr), and again while preppingThe Children’s Hourthe next year (Hepburn played Karen Wright).

The 31,163-square-foot estate, tucked behind gates on one of Brentwood’s most coveted streets, still exudes the understated elegance Hepburn was known for. Manicured rose gardens frame the property, while a covered lanai—outfitted with a fireplace, built-in ceiling heaters, and views of the expansive front lawn—feels tailor-made for early mornings with croissants and coffee.

But it’s the house itself, built in 1939 by an unknown builder, that warrants such a hefty price tag. The 6,099-square-foot Georgian-style gem features five bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and a look that marries old-Hollywood grace with updated modernity. There's hand-painted Gracie wallpaper in the dining room, a conservatory fit for cocktail hour, and a chef’s kitchen with sun-soaked garden views.

A modernized pool graces the house's backyard.

The upstairs primary suite is practically a home in itself, with dual spa-like bathrooms, massive walk-in closets, and a balcony that overlooks the estate’s verdant-green front lawn. Downstairs, there’s a family room and a guest suite perfect for your live-in help—or your very lucky in-laws. Oh, and did we mention the swimming pool and a small putting green in the backyard?

Sure, Tiffany’s has diamonds. But this house has Hepburn, history, and a front lawn fit for a film still.

Ray Stevens Broken Neck

The 87-year-old country star, who is known for his topical satire, fell late last month, according to the statement released on his X account. He will need to wear a neck brace for about a month.

“He remains fully mobile & in good spirits," the statement said.

Stevens' decades-long recording career has included such hits as the Grammy-winning “Everything Is Beautiful" as well as the zany “The Streak," which captured the mid-1970s craze for running naked in public.

Born Harold Ray Ragsdale, Stevens's music was also known for its social commentary. In 1961, he recorded “Jeremiah Peabody’s Poly Unsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast Acting Pleasant Tasting Green and Purple Pills,” which made fun of the advertising industry.

His latest album is expected to be released Friday on Curb Records.

In July, Stevens suffered a mild heart attack and had heart surgery, according to a post on his X account. His performances at his CabaRay Showroom in Nashville, Tennessee, were canceled for the rest of the month as he recovered.

CBS reveals its replacement for Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show'

CBS has revealed the future of its nightly time slot after the end of "The Late Show."

The network announced on April 6 that "Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen" will move into its 11:35 p.m. slot after "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" concludes on May 21.

The comedy talk show, which premiered in syndication in 2006, is hosted by Byron Allen and features a rotating panel of comedians performing their material. It currently airs on CBS immediately after "The Late Show."

Starting May 22, CBS will air back-to-back, half-hour episodes of "Comics Unleashed" Monday through Friday, the network said. This will be followed by back-to-back episodes of the comedy game show "Funny You Should Ask," which is also produced by Allen, in the 12:37 a.m. time slot.

Stephen Colbert hosts "The Late Show" on March 30, 2026.

"I created and launched 'Comics Unleashed' 20 years ago so my fellow comedians could have a platform to do what we all love — make people laugh," Allen said in a statement. "I truly appreciate CBS' confidence in me by picking up our two-hour comedy block of 'Comics Unleashed' and 'Funny You Should Ask,' because the world can never have enough laughter."

Colbert revealssurprising new gig with 'Lord of the Rings' franchise

CBScanceled "The Late Show"in July, ending the long-running late-night comedy institution previously hosted by David Letterman. But the network had until now not revealed what it planned to air in the show's time slot.

Paramount, the parent company of CBS, previously said that canceling "The Late Show" was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night" and was "not related in any way to the show's performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount."

Though Colbert's "Late Show" is known for its pointed political humor, Allen toldThe Los Angeles Times last yearthat he wants comedians to bring non-political material to "Comics Unleashed."

"I tell the comedians we're shooting 'I Love Lucy,'" Allen said. "Something that's evergreen. So I don't want to hear any political humor. Just be funny, family-friendly and advertiser-friendly."

CBS briefly replacedJames Corden's "The Late Late Show"with "Comics Unleashed" starting in 2023 after Corden stepped away from late-night. This time slot after "The Late Show" was later occupied by the comedy game show "After Midnight," which wascanceled in 2025and replaced by "Comics Unleashed" again.

Colbert's final episode of "The Late Show" is scheduled for May 21. He has not revealed his final guests. The comedian recently announced his next major gig after the show ends: He willwrite a new "Lord of the Rings" filmwith his son.
