[quote name=\'Skynet74\' date=\'Apr 26 2004, 01:05 PM\'] I had always heard that Gene lived on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. This is the first I have heard of him living in Connecticut. [/quote]
I can't give you much of a time frame for each residence, so in no particular order, only the few I know of for certain, there certainly could have been many others:
Manhattan, NY (Gene lived near Central Park and would bicycle to work at 30 Rock. The stories of him riding the bike in the hallways were many and funny - at least once he was reprimanded and asked in writing to not ride in the building.)
Mamaroneck, NY (On Long Island Sound, just south of Connecticut). This was most likely home during some part of the 60s. His daughter was in her late teens / early 20s at the time).
Fairfield County, Connecticut (near Greenwich). Gene moved to LA (see below)
after he toiled for months cleaning out this longtime home so it could be sold in the late 90s. He had a fair amount of land with a woodworking shop on the property, and a lot of crap stored over many years.
Encino, CA. - Gene's last home before his health really failed was an apartment he rented in the Valley. He and Ira Skutch would spend time together. I had a few dinners with him, and a bunch of the gang (Boden, Wostbrock, Schwartz, me, etc.) took him out for dinner on his final birthday. The photo of Gene and I (holding a CBS slate) on my website was taken during his final year, about 3 months before he passed.
I don't know anything about Nantucket except, "there once was a host from Nantucket, with a ___ so long he could ___ it". But I digress. ;-p
