Inside Hugh Jackman's Breathtaking Real Estate Portfolio amid Divorce from Deborra-lee Furness
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness's divorce comes with a bevy of impressive assets that will be divided up among the spouses of nearly three decades. Furness, 69, officially filed for divorce from Jackman, 56, on May 23, nearly two years after they first announced their split in 2023. As of Friday, May 30, the pair are awaiting a judge's signoff to finalize their nearly $400 million settlement. Throughout their marriage, the former couple occupied properties around the world, including in the U.S., U.K. and their native Australia. At present, their high-ticket homes include a two-story apartment in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, a penthouse overlooking Bondi Beach in Sydney and a waterfront home in the Hamptons. Jackman and Furness purchased their impressive downtown Manhattan abode for about $21 million in 2022, just a year before announcing their split, according to Architectural Digest. The penthouse apartment comes in at nearly 5,000 square feet spread across two floors, plus another 3,700 square feet of outdoor space — the ultimate N.Y.C luxury. It's located near the Hudson River in a starchitect-designed building in an area that is well known for its eye-catching facades and famous tenants. Recently Jackman has been spending much of his time in New York, where he is currently juggling two gigs on stage, starring in an Off-Broadway show, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, and a concert series at Radio City Music Hall, called From New York, With Love. Jackman and Furness have bought, sold and rented numerous apartments and homes around Sydney since they first met on the set of an Australian TV series in 1995 and married the following year. Their most recent acquisition appears to be an ultra-modern condo overlooking the city's famous Bondi Beach. They paid a reported $6 million for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom spread in 2016, per AD. Jackman is regularly spotted making the most of the property's stunning seaside setting. In December 2024, he was photographed after having taken a summer dip in the ocean wearing a pair of blue-and-white patterned drawstring board shorts. Long before buying their current house, Jackman, Furness and their two children, son Oscar and daughter Ava, were already regular visitors to the world-famous stretch of sand. The one home the former couple shared with the world is their modernist Hamptons hideaway, which was published in an AD feature in November 2021. Jackman and Furness purchased an empty 2.5-acre waterfront plot for $3.5 million in 2015 and spent the next six years building a custom Long Island retreat with three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a guest house and access to a private beach. Furness called the place her "dream home,' sharing, "It's like, bucket list, tick it off. I've done it, and I loved it.' Jackman also praised his then-wife's decorating prowess. 'Because of Deb's design, it brings us all together," he told the outlet. Still, in 2023, the same year they announced their separation, they chose to list the house for rent for the entire summer, rather than use it themselves. The asking price was $166,000 per month, the New York Post reported at the time. They reportedly picked up an impressive London pied-a-terre in 2021, according to the Post, though at the time the property was not even complete, and it's not known whether they moved in. Another N.Y.C. property's status is also currently unknown: the three-story West Village penthouse the couple purchased for a reported $21 million in 2008. Their primary family home for many years, the 11,000 square foot property had five bedrooms, including a full-floor primary suite at the top. They listed it for sale for $39 million in 2022, but it remains unclear if the property has sold, per AD. Read the original article on People

Kathy Bates claims she lost starring role in Garry Marshall film to Michelle Pfeiffer due to her looks
For Kathy Bates, it didn't take Matlock to figure out what was going on. Despite the actress, 76, originating the role of Frankie in the Off-Broadway production, she was allegedly denied the part for the 1991 movie adaptation 'Frankie and Johnny' due to superficial reasons. The film — which ended up starring Michelle Pfeiffer as the waitress Frankie and Al Pacino as short-order cook Johnny — was directed by Garry Marshall, who refused to cast Bates. 7 F. Murray Abraham and Kathy Bates in 'Frankie and Johnny.' Courtesy Everett Collection 'He couldn't make the leap that people would see me onscreen kissing someone,' she claimed to Vanity Fair in an interview published Tuesday. 'Me actually kissing a man onscreen — that would not be romantic.' Bates was nominated for an Obie Award and Drama Desk Award for her part as Frankie on the stage, but it had no bearing on Marshall's decision. Marshall died at age 81 in 2016. The 'Misery' star is used to commentary about her appearance, with a journalist once saying to her 'you're not Michelle Pfeiffer,' along with hearing jabs from her own family. 7 F. Murray Abraham and Kathy Bates in the Off-Broadway production of 'Frankie and Johnny.' Courtesy Everett Collection 'Well, I've always had that,' Bates recalled, sharing that one time her dad told her acting teacher, 'You know, she's not conventionally attractive.' The same year as 'Frankie and Johnny,' Bates starred opposite Aidan Quinn in the adventure/drama 'At Play in the Fields of the Lord.' While promoting the project, a journalist asked the actor, 66: 'You're a leading man. Is it believable that you and Kathy would be married?' 'I went upstairs,' Bates admitted. 'I locked the door, and I cried like a kindergartner.' 7 Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1991 movie 'Frankie and Johnny.' ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection 'I wanted to get on a plane,' she continued. 'They said, 'Actually, Ms. Bates, there's one leaving right now.' I said, 'Great. Get me on it.' I got on Virgin Air. Sat down. Picked up a magazine. It's about 'Frankie and Johnny.'' The Hollywood vet took home the Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Annie Wilkes in 'Misery' that year. 'I was in my prime,' she told the outlet. 'I was in my 40s by then, and I felt totally in command — and powerful.' 7 Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1991 film. Courtesy Everett Collection 7 Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates. Patrick McMullan via Getty Images Now, 34 years later, Bates is taking the screen by storm once more, starring as Madeline 'Matty' Matlock on the CBS drama 'Matlock.' 'I'm doing everything I was trained to do,' she explained about the role. 'It's not that I hit every note exactly right, but I get to try. And I keep trying, and I keep trying.' Although the actress doesn't see herself retiring anytime soon, she does share: 'I have a feeling this is going to be the last thing I do. I hope we run a good while — I really do.' 7 Michelle Pfeiffer attends the 49th Annual AFI Life Achievement Award Honoring Nicole Kidman at Dolby Theatre on April 27, 2024.

FilmMagic Bates even took home the award for Best Actress in a Drama during the 2025 Critics' Choice Awards. Despite her career renaissance — and recently losing 100 pounds — the 'American Horror Story' alum admits she still doesn't 'feel comfy.' 'I never felt that I belonged, but that's okay. I see them sail away in their gowns….,' she said with a grin. 'So now? It's sweet revenge. Oh, Miss Beauty Queen, you had a career up until your 40s and you can't work? Too bad!' 'I'll think, Oh, you shouldn't say this; oh, you shouldn't say that,' she confessed. 'But then I say, 'F–k it—I'm 76. Can't I just say it?''
