A housekeeper who worked in the homes of some of Manhattan's rich and famous was charged with stealing diamond earrings and expensive clothing from clients and making purchases on at least one of their credit cards.
Authorities did not say who the alleged victims were, but published reports Wednesday said Lucyna Turyk-Wawrynowicz was accused of stealing from Candice Bergen, Isabella Rossellini and Robert De Niro and his wife, Grace Hightower.
She was arraigned Tuesday on charges of grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, forgery and coercion.
