June Gable, the Tony-nominated character actress who played Estelle, Joey Tribbiani’s agent on the sitcom "Friends," has listed a Manhattan apartment for $1 million that she inherited from fellow actor Alice Drummond, according to the Douglas Elliman listing.
The two-bedroom, two-bath unit at 351 E. 50th St. sits in a five-story elevator townhouse between First and Second avenues and measures about 930 square feet. Property records show Gable, 80, has owned the apartment since 2018; Drummond, who died in 2016 at age 88, left the unit to Gable, who served as executor of Drummond’s will.
The apartment is anchored by an open living and dining area with exposed brick and a decorative fireplace. Oversized glass doors open from the main living space onto a private garden of roughly 500 square feet. Listing materials describe the garden as the home’s "crown jewel," suitable for entertaining and al fresco dining.
The main bedroom features exposed brick, a decorative fireplace, a large closet and an ensuite bathroom. The rear bedroom faces the garden and is described as having three oversized windows that admit substantial light. The windowed kitchen includes a laundry machine, and the unit has hardwood floors throughout.
The building is a townhouse that dates to the early 1900s and contains five stories served by an elevator. The Douglas Elliman brokers on the listing are Claudia Saez-Fromm and Mark David Fromm.
Gable is best known to television audiences for her recurring role as Estelle Lepore on "Friends," first appearing in a 2003 episode. Drummond, also a Tony-nominated actress, appeared once on the series as Ross and Monica Geller’s maternal grandmother, Althea, in the episode "The One Where Nana Dies Twice." Drummond’s long career included roles in films such as "Ghostbusters," in which she played the librarian in the opening scene, as well as credits in "Awakenings," "Doubt" and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."
Gable and Drummond were friends offscreen; Gable’s ownership of the apartment since 2018 follows Drummond’s passing in 2016 and the subsequent transfer arranged through Drummond’s estate. The listing marks a rare moment in which two performers linked by a hit television series also shared a direct property connection.
The apartment is being marketed at $1 million. The listing includes the garden and the unit’s period details, which the brokerage highlights alongside the building’s townhouse character and central Midtown East location.
