Wow. I can't see why they would bother trying to put her out? How old do they think she'll live to be? Not to mention her apartment is practically an historic landmark.

(Of course, I know the real answer to this question - RENT CONTROL.)

Amazing. This would be an incredible studio to visit. I'd say they just need to be patient, she looks great but she is nearly 100 years old.

They could possibly be waiting another 25+ years. :)

I agree, the studio would be amazing to visit, just think what the walls could tell. Would have liked to been the fly on the wall when she shot. She's very good, and I wouldn't let them move me either.
