Sabbath before launching his solo career. Sharon Osbourne, 59, is his

A Labor of Love in Santa Monica
The
Santa Monica home of screenwriter Alvin Sargent and his late wife, film
producer Laura Ziskin, has come on the market at $11.85 million.
Ziskin
worked with designer Jane Hallworth in creating the detailed interiors.
A back-lit honeycomb onyx fireplace is a focal point of the living
room. In the powder room, a smoky beveled mirror provides a backdrop for
a sink made out of a single piece of wood. A hammered brass tub from
India looks like an art object in the master bathroom.
Outside, a
teak-slat sidewalk leads from the house to the swimming pool, which is
covered in small, hand-set tiles. An outdoor room features a fireplace.
The gated Monterey Colonial, built in 1942, includes four bedrooms and 5 ½ bathrooms.
Sargent,
85, won Oscars for “Julia” (1977) and “Ordinary People” (1980). He
worked on the screenplays for “Spider-Man 2” (2004), “Spider-Man 3”
(2007) and “The Amazing Spider-Man,” due out in July.
Ziskin, who
died last year at 61, produced “Pretty Woman” (1990), “As Good as It
Gets” (1997) and the “Spider-Man” films. She had a seat with task
lighting built into the kitchen island for working at home.
