‘The Notebook' Star Gena Rowlands' ‘Legendary' Hollywood Retreat Lists for $5 Million—One Year After Her Death

A glittering Hollywood Hills retreat that served as the home of legendary filmmaker John Cassavetes and "The Notebook" star Gena Rowlands for decades has been put on the market for the first time in more than 60 years. The "legendary" dwelling, which is located "in the heart of the Hollywood Hills' prestigious 'Celebrity Row,'" spreads across 4,300 square feet and provided a "sanctuary" for the stars during the height of their fame. Rowlands, who died in August 2024 at the age of 94, and Cassavetes, who died in 1989, raised all three of their children in the sprawling property, which they also used as a set for some of their most famous films, including "Faces," "Minnie and Moskowitz," "Opening Night," and "Love Streams." Today, the home remains a tribute to their illustrious careers, with listing images capturing walls filled with movie posters, behind-the-scenes stills, and dozens of photos of the couple spending time with their celebrity pals. "The property was not just a home but also a creative hub, where films were made, memories were created, and a generation of filmmakers was inspired," the home's description notes—honoring the lasting careers of the couple's children, Nick, Xan, and Zoe, all of whom followed their parents' footsteps into the movie business. After Rowlands' death, the property was passed into a trust in her name—having been in the family for 63 years, with the actress holding on to the abode even after marrying her second husband, Robert Forrest, in 2012. Nestled in the heart of the Hollywood Hills, the home is located on 1 acre of land that includes "one buildable lot, offering rare future potential in this coveted location," the listing, which is held by Kate Blackwood and Kristal Moffett of Compass, notes. "A long, tree-lined approach leads to a classic traditional home with elegant Hollywood Regency details, gracious scale, and abundant natural light," it continues. The home remains in much the same condition that it was in when Rowlands died, with many of its original architectural details intact, "including a one-of-a-kind hand-painted bathroom artistic centerpiece created by a family member." The home features five bedrooms and five bathrooms, as well as several picturesque living spaces, including a cozy bar that is littered with photographs taken throughout Cassavetes' and Rowlands' careers. A wood-paneled living space, complete with a fireplace, doubles as a relaxation area and a library, with one wall dedicated to built-in bookshelves. The kitchen, which boasts elegant black-and-white tile flooring, features a darling breakfast nook where families can gather for a meal—or they can head to the sunroom, which has its own space for relaxing. For more formal occasions, there is an opulent dining room that serves as the perfect space for larger gatherings. When you head upstairs, past the wallpapered staircase, you are greeted with a primary bedroom that is flooded with natural light and also boasts a fireplace for added coziness. A small entertainment room with funky green walls completes the second story in true style. "This was not only a home, but a creative sanctuary where films such as 'Faces,' 'A Woman Under the Influence,' 'Minnie and Moskowitz,' and 'Love Streams' were conceived, edited, and in part filmed, contributing to the legacy of American independent cinema," the listing shares. "A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an authentic piece of Hollywood history." While the dwelling regularly served as a movie set for the couple, Cassavetes once remarked that they worked hard to separate their professional and personal lives, saying: "When Gena and I are home together, we're husband and wife. "On the set, we're deadly combatants. We have great respect for each other, like enemies do." Rowlands echoed those statements in a 1984 interview with People, telling the outlet: "John and I probably disagree on just about everything in the world. "But that's what marriage is all about. If you think a marriage isn't going to be like that, you've got trouble." She later admitted that she had never planned to get married—telling T Magazine that her only ambition in life had been to act. "The one thing I never wanted to do was to fall in love or get married or have children. I wanted to act," she revealed, while adding that her relationship with Cassavetes was one of life's "little surprises." Still, their yearslong collaboration on camera is remembered as one of Hollywood's most legendary partnerships, with the duo working together on 10 films, while each appearing in many more during their careers. Rowlands carried on that tradition of making movies a family business when she teamed up with her son, Nick, on the hit 2004 film "The Notebook," which he directed. His actress mother, meanwhile, starred in the heart-wrenching project as an ailing woman suffering from dementia—a storyline that was made all the more poignant after Rowlands' family revealed that she herself had been struggling with dementia in the five years before her death. In addition to her Hollywood Hills home, the actress also owned a property in Indian Wells, CA, where she died, surrounded by family members.

A Timeline of Cardi B and Stefon Diggs' Relationship

There are plenty of reasons to speculate why Cardi B and NFL star Stefon Diggs might be an item. More from Billboard Drake Tells Tory Lanez 'Come Home Soon' After Prison Stabbing Snoop Dogg on Kendrick Lamar Name-Dropping Him on 'GNX': 'He Spoke His Mind' Watch The Weeknd & Jimmy Fallon Crash a Fordham University Graduation Party to Perform a Pair of Hits The pair appeared to confirm as much during a cozy court side date back on May 12. Diggs and the Grammy-award winning rapper were spotted cheering on the New York Knicks during their showdown against the Boston Celtics, with Cardi seen on the Jumbotron at one point lovingly squeezing Diggs cheeks. The two have been rumored to be an item on social media for months, and in recent days have been leaning into that rumor full throttle. If the rumors are true, this would be Cardi B's first public relationship since filing for divorce from Offset last year. Cardi is used to her relationships being in the public eye, dating all the way back to her Love & Hip-Hop days in 2015. Aside from Offset, Cardi's only other major public relationship was with rapper Tommy Jeez, before the couple split in 2017. Cardi and Diggs were just two of the many celebrities who sat along Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden on May 12. Mary J. Blige, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Bad Bunny, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Busta Rhymes, Ben Stiller, coach Rick Pitino and more stars were also in attendance. Despite these celebs, no one consumed the internet quite like these two possible love birds. So the all-important question remains: when did Cardi B and Stefon Diggs first get together? Offset and Cardi finalized their divorce in 2024, so fans and pop culture outlets alike have been trying to put the puzzle together ever since. Here's a timeline of everything we know about Cardi B and Stefon Diggs budding new relationship. Back in October of 2024, Cardi B was forced to push back against a rumored relationship with Diggs for the first time. The pair had allegedly been spotted out and about together by various fans (though this all remains unconfirmed). Regardless, the rumors picked up enough traction that Cardi felt inclined to respond on Instagram Live. 'The internet is insane, all these rumors are so f—king crazy, that's why I don't wanna address it cause I feel like this s—t funny,' Cardi said on IG Live at the time. Cardi B acknowledged that she was indeed 'dating' during the final days of her tumultuous split from Offset. Page Six reported that the formerly married couple were duking it out online, with Offset claiming in since-deleted posts his ex-wife 'look like a hoe' who is only focused 'on d—k.' 'So dating because I'm single means I'm just worried about d–k?? You sound like a dummy..' she responded at the time. 'Trying to be fake nice after you did what you wanted from the beginning trying to push a narrative to these people. Congratulations!! F—k off. Sign the papers TODAY.' Offset ultimately did, and the pair finalized their divorce before the year was out. The first confirmed public appearance of Diggs and Cardi happened on Valentine's Day of this year. TMZ shared footage of the two stars arriving at an undisclosed Miami hotel in the middle of the night. During Coachella's first weekend, the 'Bodak Yellow' rapper was seen giving the NFL player a lap dance. A fan on X commented on the video that Offset was likely 'punching the air' at the sight of the clip, but the former Migos rapper replied, 'I'm happy for her!!,' according to E! News. In the last public sighting of these two before their much talked about court-side appearance, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs were seen arriving at the actual Met Gala separately. However, gossip outlet Just Jared claimed they were spotted entering a Gala afterparty moments apart.

Ben Stiller concerned his Knicks anxiety might be a Mitchell Robinson jinx

First, the good news: Ben Stiller may know the cause of Mitchell Robinson's foul shooting woes. The bad news? The 'Zoolander' star thinks he may be to blame. Advertisement 'Fat Joe and I see each other at games,' Stiller said on 'Don, Hahn & Rosenberg' on Wednesday before the shocking 138-135 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 1. 'He was telling me that there are games that I stress him out too much. That he sees me across the court and is like 'Oh, Ben, you're stressing me out. I see your face and I see you worrying.' I started to feel like, Wait a minute, I'm affecting Fat Joe's experience of this game? We're all in this together. I had no idea.' Leave it to fellow Celebrity Row staple Tracy Morgan to put it into context. 'I started to get self-conscious that maybe I'm affecting the players because I'm not putting out a more confident front or something,' Stiller said. 'Tracy Morgan was saying 'The players sense when we're stressed out, and you can't let them know that we're stressed out.'' Advertisement 'Now we got to the bottom of why Mitchell Robinson missed all those free throws!' co-host Peter Rosenberg said. 'He kept looking over you! Ben Stiller attends Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. Getty Images 'Exactly!' Stiller said. 'Which is ironic for Tracy to be saying that, given his history…' Advertisement Morgan famously vomited courtside and was taken out of the Garden via wheelchair due to what he later said was food poisoning.

Whatever issues Stiller may have, they didn't keep him away from Game 1 against the Pacers on Monday and sitting through the Knicks' epic collapse. Teams have employed a 'Hack-a-Mitch' strategy so far in the playoffs, capitalizing on the center's postseason struggles — he's made just 18 of his 48 free-throw attempts for a pitiful 37.5% success rate through 13 games. Advertisement He missed both attempts Wednesday night. Mitchell Robinson shooting a free throw against the Celtics. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Stiller did give props to 'true blue, real-deal' Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet, whom he traveled to Detroit with for first-round games against the Pistons. 'He lives and breathes it,' Stiller said of his fellow actor. Chalament was among those with a front-row seat Wesdnesday night, joined by the likes of Stiller, Livvy Dunne, Martha Stewart, Jon Hamm, Susie Essman, Larry David, and, of course, Morgan.
