Malibu Acquires Another Hollywood V.I.P.

Actress Pamela Anderson has purchased a Malibu home for about $1.8 million.

The former “Baywatch” regular, who stars in the syndicated action series “V.I.P.,” had been renting a nearby beach home at $16,000 a month.

The house that she purchased was built in 1959 but has been remodeled. Anderson, 33, plans to further rehab the property.

The house has three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in about 2,300 square feet. It also has a large yard for her sons.

Anderson has been looking with her Swedish supermodel boyfriend, Marcus Schenkenberg, to buy a condo in New York, according to published reports.

Judy Van Schoyck of Coldwell Banker (Fred Sands), Malibu, had the listing on the house that Anderson purchased, and Danny Nathanson of Prudential John Aaroe, Beverly Hills, represented Anderson, other sources said.

Dan Lauria, probably best known for his role as the loving father in the ABC-TV series “The Wonder Years” (1988-93), has sold his Hancock Park home for slightly less than $1 million.

The actor, 53, appeared in a number of TV movies during 2000 and played Leonard Fero in the Showtime series “The Hoop Life.” He also appeared last year in the series “Law & Order” and “Third Watch.”

He had lived in the country English-style house, built in 1925, for about eight years.

The home has four bedrooms in about 3,400 square feet. The property also has a pool. A young couple purchased the home.

Lisa Hutchins of Coldwell Banker Previews, Hancock Park North, represented the buyers, and Linda Morrow, of the same office, had the listing, sources said.

Chorus Line Corp., which owns well-known sportswear makers Chorus Line and Carole Little, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December.

Joy Denton with Sotheby’s, Beverly Hills, represented Rabinowitz in his house sale.
