Luxury homes: Barbara La Marr's renovated Hollywood castle

Barbara La Marr may not be a familiar name for those of us who aren’t hardcore cinephiles. But Google her name, and you’d recognise her as the iconic face of ’20s Hollywood silent movie siren.

At the height of her career, Barbara had a 7,700 sq ft home in Hollywood Hills, California. Occupying a 2,023-sqm land, the three-level villa was fashioned after the French Normandy architectural style and had more bathrooms than bedrooms.

It boasted four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and three half bathrooms. Barbara passed away at just 29 in 1926, and remarkably the home has only changed ownership three times since then.
