`Fargo' star buys Hollywood Hills home, lots

      Actor William H. Macy, who will appear in the upcoming movie "A Civil Action" with John Travolta and the remake of "Psycho," and his wife, actress Felicity Huffman, have purchased a home in the Hollywood Hills for about $1 million, including two adjacent lots for privacy.
      Macy received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a car salesman who arranges the kidnapping of his wife in the movie "Fargo" (1996). Since then, he has had supporting roles in 1997 hits such as "Air Force One," "Wag the Dog" and "Boogie Nights."
      He also co-wrote and starred in the USA Network drama "The Con," which aired in March, has had a recurring role as the hospital chief of staff on the NBC series "ER" and directed the 1997 New York stage production "The Joy of Being Somewhere Different." He is a co-founder, with David Mamet, of the Atlantic Theater Company in New York City.
      Huffman, a Broadway actress who studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, plays Dana Whitaker, a strong-willed producer, on the new ABC series "Sports Night." She also has appeared on the TV series "Law and Order," "Chicago Hope" and "The X-Files."
      Macy, 48, and Huffman, 35, bought a house with city and canyon views on more than an acre, including the lots. Built in 1951, the 3,000-square-foot house, with two bedrooms plus maid's quarters, had not been on the market in almost 40 years.
      The couple plan to do a major renovation of the traditional-style home, which has a motor court, large pool and long private drive.
