This is quite possibly the most celebrity-historic home in the world, known as the Fox Residence. It was built for Chase Manhattan Bank heiress Dora Hutchinson, who threw massive who’s who parties for Hollywood, hosting the A-list likes of Lucille Ball and Ava Gardner, and shooting off fireworks to signal Happy Hour to her neighbors. Judy Garland and Vicente Minnelli were married on the property. After Hutchinson moved to New York, she rented the Residence to Frank Sinatra for almost a decade, who in turn sublet the guesthouse (which has its own pool) to Marilyn Monroe. She had her last, famous photoshoot in one of the pools and supposedly spent time there with John F. Kennedy. More recently, it made Mad Men viewers drool playing a Palm Springs house in the episode "The Jet Set." Dreamgirls and Californication also filmed there.

The home was listed in 2012 for $12M, then removed 6 months later. It was resisted in 2015 for $7.5M, then removed again.
