But “Sisters,” a proper freakout starring Margot Kidder, playing conjoined twins, is the first of what we now think of as a De Palma movie: a psychosexual nightmare with madman instincts.

About 14% of retail space in downtown Seattle was vacant in the first three months of this year, according to a recent report from the commercial real estate firm Kidder Mathews.

Never one to stint on gossip, Biskind re-creates the heady years at a certain A-frame on Nicholas Canyon Beach in West Malibu, where up-and-coming directors Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma and Paul Schrader all competed for the attentions of housemates Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt — and for each other’s projects.

“If I owned a building along the I-90 corridor, I’d probably be a little bit more concerned than if I own a building in other submarkets,” said Jeff Chaney, an executive vice president at commercial real estate firm Kidder Mathews’ Bellevue office.
