once home to a Russian heiress dubbed “Russia’s Paris Hilton” — is now basking in its own limelight. In the wake of the movie’s many victories on Sunday night, and as film buffs and real estate aficionados alike scramble to decode its allure, this mansion’s journey from oligarch hideaway to Hollywood darling offers a window into a corner of New York City few outsiders ever get a glimpse of.Directed by Sean Baker, who snagged Best Director for his efforts, “Anora” tells the story of Ani (Mikey Madison, newly crowned Best Actress), a street-smart stripper from Brooklyn, and Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn), the reckless 21-year-old scion of a Russian billionaire, who’s spending time away from Russia and living in this very property.Their rhapsodic, and star-crossed, romance unfurls against the backdrop of this jaw-dropping estate, a labyrinth of marble, mirrors, and excess that Baker stumbled upon with a Google search for “the biggest and best mansion in Brighton Beach.” He missed that mark by a few miles, landing instead in Mill Basin — a waterfront enclave where Russian wealth has quietly taken root for decades.

Glenn Padnick, who co-founded Castle Rock Entertainment, served as its TV president and was a key player in bringing its crown-jewel sitcom Seinfeld into existence, has died. He was 77.

Also thank you to (dance co-ordinator) Kennady Schneider, thank you to our incredible consultants” she said.
