Whoopi Goldberg's House (former)

Whoopi Goldberg is a comedian and actor who won an Oscar for Ghost and holds an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony too. She became moderator of The View in 2007.

Vicki Baum, the Austrian author of Grand Hotel, reached the U.S. in 1932 and had this Riviera house finished in 1933. It was art deco in pale pink brick, and she sold it in 1942.

David Niven bought it in 1946 and called it “The Pink House.” David Browne's Hjördis Niven history site says he sold it to producer Philip Kellogg in 1960.

Goldberg paid $2.547M in 1993, according to Palisades News. The Palisadian-Post says her 2018 sale took 2 weeks and called her a “recently departed Palisadian.”

City permits from her years here record a study added in 1997, reached only from outside, and a kitchen remodel in 2011.

By March 2022 the house was back on sale as a teardown at $11.49M, Palisades News reported, citing Mansion Global. The pitch came with plans by Abramson Architects.

The house Baum, Niven, and Goldberg knew is gone. City records show its demolition permit closed in January 2024, and a new 3-story house was logged at 75% complete in February 2026.
