DOWNEY Has Wedding Of GOTHIK Proportions

(From The Hartford Courant -- By Pat Seremet)

Actor ROBERT DOWNEY JR., the OSCAR-NOMINATED star of CHAPLIN whose struggles with drug addiction drew attention in the late 1990s, married producer SUSAN LEVIN on Saturday.

Downey, 40, and Levin, 31, met in 2002 on the set of the film GOTHIKA, which Levin co-produced, and were engaged in 2003.

The marriage is Downey's second. He and actress DEBORAH FALCONER have an 11-year-old son, INDIO.

Downey was forced to scrap his original plan to hold the ceremony at friend ELLEN BARKIN's MANHATTAN ESTATE because the location was leaked to the press. Then the couple were expected to tie the knot in
THE HAMPTONS at the legendary RON PERELMAN-OWNED CREEKS MEDITERRANEAN VILLA. But at the last minute, they decided to move the nuptials to a 5.2-acre compound overlooking the bay in a ritzy part of AMAGANSETT, NEW YORK.

The couple said "I do" under a gazebo specially built for the occasion.
The compound is THE WINDY DUNES ESTATE, owned by wealthy PALM BEACH socialite LUCY SPRUNGER.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued with dinner on red-and-gold accented tables while STING and BILLY JOEL performed under a clear-topped tent so the guests could enjoy the sunset while they toasted the happy couple. KEANU REEVES arrived by motorcycle.

"It's my turn...to luck out," Downey told ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT of his relationship with Levin.
