They're Just Like Us: Emmy Nominees Buying, Listing & Renting Homes

Small-screen success must breed home hankerings, because this year’s Emmy nominees are making all kinds of real-estate moves.

Taraji P. Henson

Nominated for: Best actress in a drama series (“Empire”)
Home move: Rents out longtime digs

This little empire in the San Fernando Valley was home to the “Empire” actress for many years. Now she’s bought a mansion in Los Angeles and recently advertised for someone to rent her former home at $3,400 a month.

Bob Odenkirk

Nominated for: Best actor in a drama series (“Better Call Saul”)
Home move: Buys house with canyon views

The “Breaking Bad” favorite turned “Better Call Saul” lead snagged this Spanish-style home with everything Hollywood Hills has to offer: a pool, spa and canyon views.

Heidi Klum

Nominated for: Best host for reality competition series (“Project Runway”)
Home move: Rents Manhattan apartment for the summer

Heidi Klum's living room

It has a basketball court that can be turned into a home theater, plus a rooftop deck with a hot tub, fireplace and kitchen with a wood-burning oven. Who wouldn’t want to summer there?

Queen Latifah

Nominated for: Best actress in limited series or movie (“Bessie”)
Home move: Sells her first NJ mansion

About the time the hip-hop mogul starred as Bessie Smith in the eponymous HBO film this spring, Queen Latifah sold both her first New Jersey mansion (above) and a Los Angeles bungalow she’d bought with her trainer.

Christina Hendricks

Nominated for: Sixth nomination for best supporting actress in a drama series (“Mad Men”)
Home move: Bought NYC pied-à-terre

Measuring 797 square feet, this apartment is just the sort of place Joan would have favored — a little piece of the Big Apple for herself.

Lena Headey

Nominated for: Best supporting actress for a drama series (“Game of Thrones”)
Home move: Bought a fixer in LA

Last year, everyone’s favorite villain bought this mid-century fixer-upper in Sherman Oaks — a start-over house following a financially difficult divorce that forced the sale of her previous home.

“Mad Men”

Nominated for: Best drama series
Home move: Listing for Don and Betty’s home in the pilot

Mad Men home

The New York colonial that was the Draper home in the “Mad Men” pilot is on the market for $1.15 million. Late-night snack in the kitchen, anyone?

“Transparent”

Nominated for: Best comedy series
Home move: Being an awesome home for Mort

Transparent4

“Something about the plan of that house is so beautiful, almost like a piece of art. From every angle, it’s spectacular,” production designer Cat Smith said of the house that “plays” home to Maura (née Mort) Pfefferman. And how.
