The Vineyard Clothesline

Can you use a laugh? Holly Nadler, ex-wife of Marty Nadler who wrote such classic television series hits as Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, and Golden Girls owns a quaint little book shop in Oak Bluffs called Sunporch Books. She’s written a new book titled Vineyard Confidential. An article in the New York Daily News reported, “The rich and famous islanders of Martha’s Vineyard should lower their voices the next time they stop by Sunporch Books in Oak Bluffs ....” They go on to relate several tales shared by our resident dirt dish darling.

• Bruce Willis reportedly hit on 137 waitresses during his Vineyard visits over the years. According to Nadler, he scored with precisely zero.

• Diane Sawyer is the most demanding of all VIPs, a source at the Vineyard airport told Nadler. "She insists on being driven to the door from her plane, rain or shine, even though it is a nine-second walk.''

You’re wondering what any of this has to do with real estate? Read the next one.

• Woody Allen once faxed a list of requirements to a real-estate agent who was supposed to show him properties. According to Nadler, the Woodman insisted the agent should remain silent unless spoken to.
