I have not seen her apartment, but I drove by her neighborhood the weekend I went to see the theater group we had contributed to on her behalf. She was very near the end of a dead end street in Brooklyn Heights, overlooking the East River/harbor. The building was old and elegant, although it needed some refurbishing, and the area was generally experiencing a renovation. Rents were approaching those of lower Manhattan, as it was a highly desirable location. Her studio was still renting, under rent control, for an outrageous $250, which was its cost when she first moved in. Although a studio, it could easily have gone for over $1000. I would not be surprised if it were closer to $2000, by the time the building was improved.

I fear she had hit a very bad place, where she had lost her nerve, and could not figure a way out. One hopes that she would have been shaken from her dolor, and found it in herself to go out into the world again, rather than wait by the phone, as it were......
