Actor James Franco, who plays Allen Ginsberg in the film "Howl," has sold his Sunset Strip-area compound for $3.3 million, the Multiple Listing Service shows.

As for Franco's former 90069 ZIP Code, there were 115 single-family home sales in 2009 at a median price of $1,775,000, according to MDA DataQuick, a price drop of 16.3% from 2008. The 2009 sales price per square foot for his ZIP was $723. Considering he bought in 2006, Franco did well.
