Armand 'Dredd' Assante's Ex Sells Riverside Co-op for $2.45 M.

It takes all kinds of New Yorkers to fill Manhattan’s inestimable multimillion-dollar apartments. On the one hand, there are this column’s usual characters (the hedge-fund men, the bank executives, the heirs), but then sometimes there are the ex-wives of made-for-TV film stars.

Karen Assante, whose ex-husband Armand is the scary-eyed, broad-shouldered Irish-Italian actor (you may remember him from such films as Judge Dredd, Unfaithfully Yours, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Napoleon and Josephine: A Love Story, or Striptease), just sold her six-room, two-bedroom apartment at the 20’s-era co-op 118 Riverside Drive. The price was $2.45 million.

Stribling vice president Rhona Delman, the listing broker, dealt with two previous accepted offers from buyers that both walked away, partially due to the mortgage crisis.

According to her listing, the 28.5-foot-long living/dining room is next to the 18.5-foot-long windowed kitchen, which has a “softly hued glass mosaic tile backsplash”—quite Beverly Hills.

The broker said Mr. Assante bought his ex-wife the apartment about a decade ago, even though they’d already split. “She’s out in California, actually, helping in L.A., trying to get her kids started—one of her daughters is in the business.”

Ms. Delman may be listing Mr. Assante’s big home in upstate New York. “I’ve represented Norman Lear a couple of times,” she said. “I sold his ex-wife’s apartment, as well!”
