The Story 🗞️

Mid-Century Houses of Hollywood Stars

Remember when we mourned the demolition of Craig Ellwood's Zimmerman House by Hollywood star Chris Pratt? Today, we're flipping the script! Instead of losses, we're celebrating the Hollywood stars who embraced the timeless, iconic style of mid-century homes, showcasing their impeccable taste and appreciation for architectural brilliance.

Bob and Dolores Hope’s UFO

Overlooking Palm Springs, Bob Hope and his wife Dolores lived in a home designed by famed architect John Lautner. Its unconventional structure, including a spaceship-like overhang that could shelter a 500-person soirée, was meant to echo the rugged landscape it was built in.

Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms estate

Frank Sinatra’s 1940s home in Palm Springs might seem small by today’s Hollywood standards, but its modern structure, designed by E. Stewart Williams, is packed with clever features.

Robin Tunney’s Beverly Hills home

Designed by sculptor Morris Levine, who lived there until he was 90, this house exudes warmth and comfort with a modern twist. Robin Tunney’s whimsical touch and her partner Nicky Marmet’s artistic perspective make it truly special.

Jennifer Aniston’s Bel Air mansion

The former Friends star has amassed several luxurious properties in Southern California over the years, including a Bel Air home designed by the famous A. Quincy Jones and completed in 1965.

Mandy Moore’s home in Pasadena

Designed by Harold B. Zook, a remarkable modernist architect, Mandy Moore’s 1950s home is a seamless blend of mid-century allure and modern living. She has reclaimed the home’s architectural brilliance, preserving its place among the iconic mid-century modern homes of the era.
