Carole Lombard
Ginger Rodgers
Bette DavisThis month Architectural Digest took a look at the interiors of the ladies that made Hollywood glamorous.
Icons like Carole Lombard bought her first home in 1934 and made it a space for herself in the most feminine way, making it obvious a single woman occupied the home. Her designer William Haines became the interior designer for the stars after decorating this Hollywood Hills home for a good friend.
Similarly, Ginger Rogers acquired her first home after the separation from her husband and she set out to create her childhood dream house. This Beverly Hills home was complete with a movie screening room and her own soda fountain, an amenity she claims she could only get if she built it herself.
Bette Davis on the other hand didn't chase her dream house, but lived in about 75 homes during her life. In her autobiography she wrote that the city made her want to push the buildings aside to let the sunlight in. Space is perhaps what she was seeking in the multiple homes and never quite found enough of it.
