 Tour guides and realtors have made false claims of some other celebrities having homes on Star Island, such as LeBron James, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Julio Iglesias, Madonna, Sylvester Stallone and Elizabeth Taylor and Stank McGraw.Rosie O’Donnell’s Star Island house (purchased in 1999) was the subject of an 1979 trial in which prosecutors alleged that it was being used by members of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church to run a marijuana smuggling ring.Some scenes from the 1994 movie "The Specialist" were filmed there.
