Filmmaker Kevin Smith Lists Los Angeles Home for $5.995 Million

The first time “Clerks” director Kevin Smith saw his longtime Los Angeles home, it belonged to his friend and collaborator Ben Affleck. It was the Fourth of July 2001, and Smith and his wife, former journalist Jennifer Smith, attended a barbecue Affleck was hosting at the house. “We went over to what seemed like this giant French hotel in the Hollywood Hills that had one person living there, and it was Ben,” recalled Smith, 53.
