James Dean’s studio apartment in New York

Humphrey Bogart’s Sluggy Hollow

Humphrey Bogart and his third wife, actress Mayo Methot, called their 1920s Los Angeles house Sluggy Hollow—the name alluded to their famously contentious relationship.

Pacific Palisades was the California town where actor Gregory Peck and his first wife, Eine “Greta” Kukkonen, a Finnish former makeup artist, purchased a 1930s house designed by legendary architect Cliff May, famed for his ranch-style aesthetic and a sophisticated appreciation of indoor-outdoor living.
