Reclusive French Entertainer Claudine Longet Seeks 60 Million For Aspen Estate That S Actually A 20 Million Discount


As an actress, Longet is probably best-known to American audiences for starring in the 1968 Peter Sellers comedy “The Party.” She is also famous for being married to Andy Williams from 1961 to 1975. They broke up amicably in 1970. Claudine earned her greatest notoriety in 1976 after fatally shooting 31-year-0ldĀ  Olympic skier Spider Sabich, her boyfriend at the time. She maintained the shooting was an accident but she was ultimately convicted of negligent homicide. She paid a fine and spent 30 days in jail. The judge allowed her to serve weekends so she could take care of her three children from her marriage to Andy Williams during the week. In an interesting twist, in 1985 Claudine married her defense attorney Ron Austin. Ron was married when he represented Claudine and the two caused a bit of a stir after the trial when they were seen on vacation together. For the last four decades Longet has remained living in Aspen, spending much of her time on the property she is now offering for sale. As for the property itself, it’s a beauty, described like so in official marketing materials: “Spanning just over 5.4 acres, this estate offers privacy, luxury, and stunning views from Aspen Mountain to Mt Sopris. Nestled in nature, the property boasts beautifully landscaped grounds featuring a serene stream and pond, creating a peaceful oasis. The location is conveniently close to downtown allowing for easy access to all Aspen has to offer.” This listing also touts the property’s one-bedroom guest house, which measures in at just under 1,400 square feet.
