I'm not a big fan of Mr Deitch's "celebrity has become an art form" theory, nor of his "super tudor pop environment" (I mean, honestly.)- but I have such a thing for these old-style movie star houses -- there's something about their spanish-tiled staircases and flashy pools and overgrown yards that just does something for me.
I can almost feel the smoky LA air brush over my nose as I watch this. I'de love to live in one of these houses one day - just for a year, or two.
