HOLLYWOOD HOUSES. /HB/ “TH&H“

A magical insider’s tour of some of the most alluring private houses, classic residences and historic hotels in Los Angeles by bestselling design and style author Diane Dorrans Saeks. Here are the homes of stars such as Diane Keaton and Dolores del Rio – even Charlie Chaplin – as well as houses by star architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Williams, R. M. Schindler and Richard Neutra. Movie stars, musicians, interior designers, producers, writers and the creative talents that drive Hollywood live out their fantasies and dreams surrounded by lavish gardens, shimmering pools and inspiring decor. There’s opulence, but also witty design creativity, inventive architecture and chic interiors that offer a welcome respite from the razzle-dazzle outside. These are interiors that integrate indoors and outdoors, that are lived in and loved. They are created with elegance and a sense of fun – for stars, for designers and for behind-the-scenes starmakers who passionately love style, and live life to the fullest.
