The vaudevillian, radio personality, television actor and film star Ed Wynn spent the majority of his Hollywood years living in a home in Beverly Hills. In fact, Ed's son and fellow actor Keenan also raised his family in Beverly Hills, which is hilariously chronicled in the book, "We Will Always Live in Beverly Hills: Growing Up Crazy in Hollywood," written by Ed's grandson Ned. However, Ed's last home was a house in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, another affluent neighborhood on the West side of town.
The home, located at 441 N. Rockingham Road, is in a quiet residential area. All the homes in this area are very beautiful, with well kept lawns and gardens, and cost a fortune. There are many other celebrity homes in Brentwood. One of the most notable of old Hollywood interest would be Joan Crawford's located at 426 N. Bristol Avenue.
I found your blog when searching for some recent information on AC Lyles and you have a very nice post on him! I am a lucky old lady in that I met AC several times and got to visit his "famous office" His birthday is this Sunday, the 17th!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying reading other posts and loved Ed Wynn!

ReplyDeleteThat's great that you got to meet AC. He is such a nice guy who still has a lot of enthusiasm for the business. I could listen to him tell stories for hours.
