'ER' Doc: No More Bedside Manor

---

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Perhaps Sherry Stringfield got used to moving quickly playing a doctor in the fast-paced emergency room. The "ER" actress received multiple offers and sold her Beverly Hills home in a month for close to its $2,895,000 asking price.

The Spanish-style home, built in 1928, has been updated yet maintains its period charm. The two-story house has a center hall, formal dining and living rooms, a family room, a study, an office, six bedrooms and three bathrooms in about 3,600 square feet.

Stringfield, 42, played Dr. Susan Lewis from 1994-96 and from 2001 to until the show ended in 2009. The 15-year drama won fans and churned stomachs with its sometimes-gory scenes and camerawork that made viewers duck.

Public records show the property previously sold in 2003 for $1,935,000.

The 1926 bungalow sits in the hills below the Hollywood sign. It has an open-plan dining and living room, a wood-burning fireplace, two bedrooms and one bathroom. In addition to the 880 square feet of interior living space, there are outdoor living and dining rooms, a spa and gardens with fruit trees and wisteria.

Pyle appeared on "Grey's Anatomy" this year and is shooting a pilot, "How to Be a Better American," for ABC. Her film credits include "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005) and "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" (2004).

Anderson hosts "Expedition Grizzly" (2009-present) on the National Geographic Channel. Brutus, an 800-pound bear that the conservationist has cared for since it was a cub, was a guest at the couple's wedding in 2008. They split their time between L.A. and property they own in Montana, where Brutus lives on a sanctuary.

The couple recently sought guidance in training their two rescue dogs and will appear on "Dog Whisperer With Cesar Millan."
