East Village Mascot Parker Posey Officially Sells 10th Street Digs

Parker Posey has officially sold her 1845 brownstone on East 10th Street for $135,000 above the list price, according to city records. The Observer's Max Abelson broke the news last month that the fourth-floor apartment belonging to the "East Village embodiment" was up for sale for $1.175 million and that Ms. Posey was moving to a $1.35 million co-op at 30 Fifth Avenue.
Today, a buyer named Jeremy A. Rossman (who is either a rocker or a lawyer based on a cursory Google search) paid $1.31 million for the indy darling's old digs.






















Parker Posey could have been an icon to rival Marylin Monroe. What happened??? Was it a bad agent? A dozing publicist? I mean, Drew Barrymore is a contemporary of hers, and Drew has had a far, far better career (I won't discuss the merits of each actress here.)
I wish the Observer would do an article titled "Parker Posey - What the Hell Happened?" She had it back in the 'day. It's a shame to see the career that never was...
Are you kidding? Do you know who Christopher Guest is? or Robert Altman? Probably not.
huh!!?? True, she has not made as many main-stream hollywood movies, but this has been a product of her choice, not a failure of proper marketting. I think the key is to understand that she, as the article mentions, is an 'indy darling' --suggesting that she has sought out less high profile roles, for those which might have higher artistic merit. Her career has been anything but a disappointment! I would suggest getting on netflix and checking out some titles which might be less familiar to you to witness the incredible career she has had. You will surely appreciate it, as it seems that you are a fan of her work.
I'm watching the pilot episode of "The Return of Jezebel James" and I feel a little throw up in the back of my throat. Why in the hell did Parker agree to this drivel? I know she sold out long before her stint in Superman Returns, but please, Parker, for the love of Libby Mae Brown, PLEASE don't EVER do any foul-written crap like a sitcom AGAIN. I'm waiting patiently for Jezebel James to blink into oblivion forever.
