“John’s only got three apartments in the [Dakota] building (we had heard rumors that he had up to seven). According to one of the doormen, there’s the one they live in, one for the nanny, and one is a studio. He’s got three now and he’s out to “buy the building,” said one doorman. […]
One thing one of the doormen said that I forgot to mention. He said Paul had been there last spring. Also one time we checked out the Eastman’s apartment and talked to the doorman there who said that Paul was due in the next day to sign a multimillion-dollar deal - the tour! We nearly had a stroke and proceeded to act like our usual mature selves while driving down Park Avenue. The next day though, Paul didn’t show – apparently he’d changed his mind and decided to come to NY at a later time.”
