Tasteful friends, an apartment in the Osborne on 57th Street

Ironically, the late Robert Osborne lived there.

I wish they would SLOW DOWN.

I don't like all of the secret doors, it's like a gilded shoebox. I think that marbled/lacquered/opulent design style only works for a larger space.

Plus it's on what, the second floor? No thanks.

When I 1st moved to NYC I worked for an old letch w an apartment in the building. Very handsy, but it paid $30 an hour, so …

I would have a caftan made to match the wallpaper of each room.

$2.75 million somehow seems not that bad.

He said it was $6,000 per month for maintenance.

You have to have a net worth of $2.75 x 3 to get past the board.

Rooms way too small for the architecture of the walls , entrances ect. They look like the closets in a grand estate, No thanks, i'll pass.

Wow! Where can I find a whore that charges so little?

R5 Like cloaks of invisibility.

I could be very happy with it if I lived alone. It has one big room of nearly 600sf, divided if a sort into 2 spaces plus a decent bedroom and the rest.

A larger apartment in the Osborne

And one if similar cost to OP's $2.25M) but a more conventional if very good plan.

Right? I think I'm going to throw up.

R8, your mom comes to mind.

What makes you think this would be in Bonfire? Wrong building in the wrong neighborhood.

Wasn't this Bernstein's home too?

I’m the ghost of Robert Osborne, and you all have created a trite, predictable and reductive thread.

Despite your efforts, this sad collection of nonsense will never hit “Variety.”

I’ll make sure of it…and I have connections.

From the grave…

I'm not sure Bob knew the word "reductive."

R17. I knew him, and he did.

I'm nauseous from the camera work, but I like that wall linen.

I love the integrated doors. I could live there.

16 he moved uptown in ‘60

I love it. Too bad it's not on a higher floor.

R15 for fucks sake I’m obviously talking about the interiors. Do you take everything so literally? Are you autistic or something?

Obviously not. You weren’t in the least.

Move along now…

R16, Yes, in the 1950s, prior to moving to the Dakota.

The lobby of the Osborne looks good. I love that look but only for large public spaces.

Any small affection I had for arched doorways has been decimated by that video.

Osborne bought Bernstein's former office in the Osborne to use as his own office.

(I knew him too.)

How financially secure was Robert Osborne?

I doubt if TCM was paying him a huge salary and the books he wrote were aimed at a limited audience and not best sellers.

R30 He was a very private man.

He always seemed comfortable to me.

Another in the Osborne. Better quality video but less impressive apartment.

I remember walking past the Osborne one night, there was a lot of commotion on the street, they were taking someone out of the building on a stretcher, with a white sheet over them.

The next day I learned it was Gig Young. Young had shot his wife and himself.

R33, It coulda been me.

He had three or four nieces plus his partner who probably inherited his stuff. Thee was a big auction of his memorabilia a while back. Some great Hollywood treasures. A lot of the proceeds went to TCM.

R29. I distinctly remember hims saying saying that, but he never dropped Bernstein's name.

Err, him. ^ When the fuck is this joint going to offer an edit feature?

M, I’m looking at you, girl!
