The Longtime L.A. Home of ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ Producer Lynda Obst Lists for $2.6 Million

The longtime home of the late producer Lynda Obst—who worked on the Nora Ephron classic, along with films such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 DaysInterstellar, and Contact—has hit the market for $2.6 million. Obst purchased the Silver Lake property back in 2002 for $822,000, according to property records, and she owned the place until her death in October. Heather T. Roy and Learka Bosnak, known professionally as Heather & Learka, hold the listing at Douglas Elliman.

Obst was originally born in the suburbs of New York City, but she eventually moved to Los Angeles with her then-husband and began working in the film industry. Throughout her career, she was known as a champion of women, with many of her films focusing on female-led stories. Along with her Silver Lake home, she owned a ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas, that was her “happy place,” according to The New York Times. She died in October at the age of 74 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
