TIMES STAFF WRITER

Ellen Barkin, who co-stars in the upcoming movie “Crime + Punishment in Suburbia,” has listed her Beverly Hills-area home at just under $2 million.

The Emmy-winning actress co-starred in the HBO movie “Mercy,” which premiered in February, and portrayed the mother of a beauty contestant, played by Kirsten Dunst, in last summer’s movie “Drop Dead Gorgeous.”

Barkin is engaged to Revlon mogul Ronald O. Perelman, and she has split her time for months between L.A. and New York, where the billionaire has a home.

Barkin, 45, filed for divorce in May from actor Gabriel Byrne; Perelman, 56, has been involved in a custody battle with his ex-wife, Patricia Duff.

Barkin has owned her Beverly Hills-area home for several years. Built in 1941, the Cape Cod-style house has been remodeled, and Barkin has redecorated.

The house has three bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, three fireplaces, rolling lawns and a pool.
