Diane Keaton’s Legacy as a Prolific House Flipper
Known for her roles in film, the actress built a second act off-screen, turning the homes she renovated into another stage.
黛安基頓作為一位多產房屋翻新者的傳奇
這位以電影角色聞名的女演員在銀幕之外開啟了第二幕，將她翻新的房屋變成了另一個舞台。
據這位位於週六去世的女演員自己所說，她租住、購買、翻修或設計了近50處房產——留下了類似的遺產，這棟房子是用木材、石膏和石材雕刻而成的。她的品味一直在變化——從西班牙殖民時期優雅的拱門和雄偉的深色橫梁，到泥牆的土坯房，再到用廢棄工廠的零件裝飾的房子。

Gene Russianoff, the public face of the Straphangers Campaign,
understands that not everyone in Albany or City Hall or at the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority considers him all that adorable.
