Built in 1930, the sprawling property that once belonged to Cary Grant is currently looking for a glamorous new owner. An exact replica of a 19th-century Spanish Andalusian farmhouse, the massive 6000-square-foot, six-bedroom hacienda is located in the so-called Movie Colony, an area of Palm Springs known for its popularity amongst movie stars. Grant, the Oscar-nominated actor who is remembered for his roles in popular movies like The Philadelphia Story (1940), Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), and North By Northwest (1959), lived there from 1954 through 1972. According to The Agency, the home—which is also known as Las Palomas—was a popular destination for actors and celebrities such as Grace Kelly, Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Frank Sinatra, and even Howard Hughes.
But while Grant seemingly welcomed a vast array of A-list visitors to the estate, he gave Alfred Hitchcock the real star treatment, even building a special wing for the famed director, which he called the Alfred Hitchcock Casita. And it was at Las Palomas that Hitchcock allegedly dragged Grant from an early retirement, convincing him to continue his acting career. Even if you can't afford its $3,495,000 price tag, The Agency's website is full of photos of the historic home that are well worth checking out.If you have dreams of moving to Palm Springs, CA and living in a mid-century house that was built by Walt Disney, well now’s your chance! Walt and Lillian Disney had this beautiful 4-bedroom, ranch-style house built back in 1962 as a retreat for their retirement years. The house sits on a quarter-acre of land amidst beautiful scenery providing breathtaking mountain views. The house is currently listed for sale for $899,000. The home was owned by Walt Disney’s family until 2015.
Here are some fun details you should know from the listing: “Walt had this house built in 1962, around the time when his famous television show, Walt Disney Presents upgraded from black-and-white to color, changing its name to Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color.” “The new owners have lovingly preserved Walt’s vision of desert luxury – keeping the vibrant and beautiful animated color scheme and most of the furniture.” “The interiors of this Palm Springs paradise are a study in color – with bold reds, blues and yellows making for a Technicolor experience with dramatic art deco influences.” I love seeing the great memorabilia around this home and how it feels like you’re going back in time while still maintaining a contemporary look.

Whether he was called "The Voice," "Ol' Blue Eyes," or "The Chairman of the Board," Frank Sinatra's nicknames all conveyed the adulation and respect reserved for a man who was commonly thought of as the best American popular singer of the 20th century. Sinatra's voice, whether manifested in song or spoken word, caressed the ears of many a listener for more than five decades. Sinatra's legacy -- countless songs and more than 70 films -- continue to ensure him the kind of popularity that has reached beyond the grave to elevate him past the status of mere icon to that of cultural institution.Born Francis Albert Sinatra on December 12, 1915, Sinatra grew up poor in Hoboken, NJ.
After working for a newspaper, he organized the Hoboken Four, a singing group. He got his first break when he won first prize on radio's "Major Bowes Amateur Hour," and went on to perform in nightclubs and on radio. Sinatra then landed the job of vocalist with the Harry James band, and later switched to Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. It was during his tenure with Dorsey's group that Sinatra made his first two films in uncredited roles as a singer in the bands in Las Vegas Nights (1941) and Ship Ahoy (1942). In 1942, Sinatra's attempt to become a solo artist met with great success, especially in the hearts, minds, and ears of many American women and girls, who flocked to his performances with a fervor that would be replicated two decades later with the arrival of the Beatles. Soon, Sinatra was the "dream-date" idol of millions of American girls and, for several years, was enormously popular on-stage in addition to other venues, including radio, records, and nightclubs. To complement his popularity as a singer, Sinatra began acting, playing in a number of light musical films throughout the '40s.
His first real acting role came in Higher and Higher (1943); other notable movies from this period in his career included Take Me Out to the Ballgame (1949), co-starring Gene Kelly and Esther Williams, and On the Town, also made in 1949 and co-starring Kelly, who co-directed the picture with Stanley Donen. Sinatra suffered a career setback in 1952 when his vocal cords hemorrhaged and he was dropped by MCA, the monolithic talent agency. Having established a shaky screen career, he fought back and landed the role of Angelo Maggio in From Here to Eternity (1953) after begging Columbia for the part and then agreeing to take it for a mere 8,000 dollars. His performance won him the 1954 Best Supporting Actor Oscar and a Golden Globe, and, in the process, resuscitated his faltering career. Sinatra appeared in several more movies in the '50s, receiving a 1956 Best Actor Oscar nomination and a British Academy Award (BAFTA) for his portrayal of a drug addict in The Man with the Golden Arm (1955).
