F. Murray Abraham’s wife of 60 years, Kate Hannan Abraham, died three years ago after a long illness. “I didn’t want to change anything in our apartment,” Mr. Abraham, 86, said of his two-bedroom duplex in Manhattan. “But our daughter kept saying, ‘You’ve got to do the house over.’ I suppose she thought it should be brought back to life. And she was right. But it was awhile before I could get to that point.”

Mr. Abraham, who stars with Kristin Chenoweth in the musical adaptation of “The Queen of Versailles,” which just opened on Broadway, won an Academy Award in 1985 for his performance in the drama “Amadeus.” He also appeared in the movies “Scarface,” “Mighty Aphrodite” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” as well as the television series “Homeland,” for which he received an Emmy nomination. But most significantly, at least for his apartment, Mr. Abraham was a second season cast member of “The White Lotus.”
