Manager gets an A for quick sale

Rick Yorn, a manager-producer who represents Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Cameron Diaz and other A-listers, has sold his Brentwood house for $9.35 million, according to the MLS.

The 6,689-square-foot two-story home, which Yorn shared with his wife, model Christina Harvey Yorn, is an East Coast traditional estate with formal gardens and a resort feel.

The five-bedroom, six-bathroom house, built in 2005, was on the market for just 10 days at $9.5 million. Didn't you hear the shouts of Hallelujah?

The house has hardwood floors, extensive built-ins and state-of-the-art electronics.

Yorn is a co-chairman of the Firm, a talent management company that in 2002 purchased Michael Ovitz's Artist Management Group for a reported $12.7 million and in 2004 acquired the entertainment consulting company Integrated Entertainment Partners.

Translation? He's a heavyweight. It may be breaking some Hollywood law, however, to use the word "weight" in the same paragraph as a mention of his Size 4 wife, who models for Clairol, Abercrombie & Fitch and Casio.

David Offer of Prudential California Realty, Brentwood, was the listing agent. The buyer was represented by Daniel Lam of Sotheby's International Realty, Sunset Boulevard office.
