Glitterati Says

We Recommend a Tour of Los Angeles To Better Understand the Lay of the Land.

Think of Los Angeles as having 4 main quadrants, or areas. These are the places where most visitors prefer staying. We have Downtown L.A., Santa Monica, Hollywood, and West Hollywood/ Beverly Hills. All the areas have their own personalities and attractions.

Glitterati Tours recommends viewing a map of L.A. to chart out your interests before choosing a hotel. This will also help put the city into perspective should you take a tour of LA.

Bordered by the Santa Monica Mountains on its northern side, Beverly Hills is just six miles northeast of Santa Monica and only nine miles west of LA.

Beverly Hills is well-known for being one of the most expensive places to live in the United States. The city is equally well-known for being home to some of the biggest houses in the U.S. While the majority of the city’s residents live in the flat parts of Beverly Hills, you’ll find the city’s most expensive homes in the hills. Beverly Hills is a great place to try to see your favorite stars because many celebrities call the city home.

Beverly Hills became part of the United States when the U.S. acquired California in the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo in the mid-1800s. The city got its name from the gorgeous hills located in Beverly, MA.

Pickfair: tour the Beverly Hills mansion of Hollywood's first golden couple

Share the love

Uncover the secrets of this legendary estate

Uncover the secrets of this legendary estate

1143 Summit Drive—or 'Pickfair'—in Beverly Hills was the celebrated home of two of the biggest movie stars of the early 20th century. The stunning mansion hosted many of the illustrious names of its age, including Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin, and Albert Einstein. A house with multiple lives, it went on to new owners who blamed termites and 'unwanted spirits' for its eventual fate.

Click or scroll on to look back through the history of one of Hollywood’s greatest houses.

The original golden couple

The original golden couple

Silent movie stars Mary Pickford and her husband, Douglas Fairbanks, were the golden couple of Hollywood in the 1920s and 30s. Canadian-born Pickford, with her blonde hair and wholesome image, was dubbed “America’s Sweetheart” and was one of the few stars to make the transition from the silent movies to the 'talkies', earning an Oscar for her first spoken role in Coquette in 1929. Meanwhile, Fairbanks was known for his swashbuckling roles in The Mark of Zorro , The Iron Mask, and Robin Hood .

A wedding gift fit for a star

A wedding gift fit for a star

The couple were married to other people when they first met but eventually tied the knot in March 1920; Pickfair, the 18-acre estate in Beverly Hills, was the groom’s ultimate wedding gift to his new bride. Originally a hunting lodge designed by Horatio Cogswell, it was purchased by Fairbanks in 1919 and became one of the most famous houses in the world, with Life Magazine describing it as “a gathering place only slightly less important than the White House… and much more fun.”

Pickfair receives a total revamp

Pickfair receives a total revamp

With the help of celebrated architect Wallace Neff, the couple transformed the property—which was nicknamed Pickfair to combine the names of the two stars—into an elegant English-style home with leaded-glass windows, parquet flooring, ceiling frescoes, two new wings, an L-shaped veranda, and a copper roof supported by heavy wrought iron. 

Los Angeles' first swimming pool

Los Angeles' first swimming pool

As well as stables, servants’ quarters, tennis courts, a large guest wing, garages, a Western-style saloon—plus an underground running track where Fairbanks reportedly liked to jog around without clothes on—the property is believed to have had the first known in-ground swimming pool in the Los Angeles area. This is where Mary Pickford consented to be photographed in a swimsuit for the first time in 1922. 

Picture perfect

Picture perfect

The couple would love to be outside, making the most of the California sunshine and having fun in the grounds. This picture shows them canoeing, fully dressed in their pool. It was later colourised and used for a souvenir postcard in a series called the Homes of Movie Stars in California, which was published in 1927.

Fabulous interiors

Fabulous interiors

The couple—seated here next to the fireplace in the living room—adorned Pickfair's interiors with decorative arts and antiques, including English and French period furniture from the early 18th century. Notable items in the collection are thought to have included gilded neo-classical and Rococo antiques, and Louis XVI furniture from the Countess Rodezno and Lord Leverhulme collections.

Oriental treasures

Mary Pickford is seen here curled up on a Chinese damask silk divan. The four-storey, 22-room mansion featured many Chinese objets d’art, collected by the couple on their many visits to Asia. These included a pair of fine Chinese carved rhinoceros tusks and a Thai damascene silver lotus form covered urn, which was a gift to Pickford from the King of Siam. These were later sold at the Pickfair Estate auction in 2008 for $2,688 (£2.1k) and $5,000 (£4k) respectively.

Celebrated designers

Celebrated designers

The interiors of Pickfair were decorated and updated throughout the years by some of the world’s most celebrated designers, including  Elsie de Wolfe , often recognised as America’s first decorator; whose clients included Cole Porter, and the Duchess of Windsor. Tony Duquette, who was admired for his lavish interiors meanwhile, was also a close friend and celebrated his marriage to artist Elizabeth Johnstone at Pickfair in 1949. Mary was the maid of honour.

Art collection

Art collection

The Pickfair art collection included paintings by Guillaume Seignac, George Romney, and Philippe Mercier. The latter's portrait of a lady is seen here above an original Adam cabinet (designed by the Adam brothers) and Abission chairs in the living room, which was decorated by Elsie de Wolfe. The innovative decorator was known for the way she placed furniture, using lighter materials and veering away from heavy clunky pieces. 

Light-filled space

Light-filled space

Mary Pickford became personally involved with the regular revamps to Pickfair’s interiors and was keen to create a more light-filled property, which she achieved by installing larger windows where possible. An example of a light-filled space is seen here in the formal dining room, which was located on the lower level of the house. 

Decorative touches

The actress made frequent trips to New York's luxury stores in her quest to renovate rooms at Pickfair. She came up with the novel idea of covering the fireplace with a decorative sliding mirror in the formal dining room, as seen here.

Lavish parties

Lavish parties

The 'King and Queen of Tinsel Town', the couple were known for their lavish parties and dinners, which attracted everyone from silent movie actors Harold Lloyd and his wife Mildred—seen here—to President Franklin D Roosevelt and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Lord and Lady Mountbatten even included a stay at Pickfair on their honeymoon trip to America in 1922. Mountbatten likened the house to Buckingham Palace in London, telling  film historian Kevin Brownlow : "It was the house that everyone wanted to go to.”

Ultimate wedding venue

Pickfair was also the venue of countless charity events and family gatherings, including the wedding of Mary’s brother, Jack Pickford, also an actor, who celebrated his marriage to Marilyn Miller here in 1922. Mary Pickford is seen third from the left, while their mother, Charlotte, is third from the right. Father Neal Dodd is pictured in the centre marrying the couple.

Working with Charlie Chaplin

Despite Mary’s initial success in the talkies, the couple’s movie careers declined in the early 30s. Mary Pickford made her last film Secrets in 1933, after which she focused her attention on producing, having founded United Artists in 1919, alongside her husband Douglas Fairbanks, seen here on her right, and Charlie Chaplin and director D W Griffith.

End of an era

End of an era

As their movie careers declined, so too did their marriage and the couple divorced in 1936 but remained at Pickfair—living in opposite wings of the house—until Fairbanks’ death in 1939. Some reportedly blamed the house itself for causing the split, suggesting Fairbanks wanted to sell the house and travel, while Pickford wanted to stay put in the home she had lovingly created. 

Haunted house

Haunted house

In the 1930s, Pickford admitted to experiencing some supernatural events at the house whereby she would hear loud banging in the attic. According to Cinema Scholars , she told a reporter in 1935: “I sat up in bed and addressed myself to the ghost, ‘I wouldn’t treat you this way,’ I said. ‘It isn’t ladylike. I don’t expect to be treated in this manner.’ The noises ceased.”

Supernatural goings on

Supernatural goings on

Pickford wasn’t the only one who had experienced strange goings on. The actress also tells of the day her cook, "a practical Swedish woman", ran from the house in terror, declaring she was being pursued by a strange, dark woman who she had seen in the kitchen. Her late husband, Douglas Fairbanks, was less convinced: “I don’t believe in ghosts,” he said. “I don’t believe Pickfair is haunted, though Mary is sure of it.”

Mary’s third marriage

Mary’s third marriage

Despite her misgivings about the house, Pickford remained there when, in June 1937, she married her third husband and former co-star Charles ' Buddy' Rogers, who was 12 years her junior. The couple, who adopted two children, Roxanne and Ronald, continued to entertain; while Pickford remained active as vice-president of United Artists, as well as running the Mary Pickford Cosmetics Company. 

Living as a recluse

Living as a recluse

Mary Pickford lived at Pickfair with Rogers until her death in 1979, becoming increasingly reclusive and  reportedly struggling  with addiction issues. According to local legend, she only spoke to her big name ‘visitors’ via telephone from her bedroom, while Rogers took them on a tour of the estate. Fans were given a brief glimpse of the actress and her home, however, when she recorded a message of thanks on receiving an Academy Honorary Award in 1976. 

Death of a legend

Death of a legend

Mary Pickford died on 29 May 1979 aged 86 at Santa Monica Hospital and was interred in the Garden of Memory of Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Glendale, California. After her death, Rogers decided to sell Pickfair, building himself a new house on a portion of the property, which he called Pickfair Lodge.

Lakers takeover

Lakers takeover

Los Angeles Lakers owner, Jerry Buss, bought Pickfair at a probate sale in 1980 for around $5.4 million (£4.3m). According to the  Los Angeles Times , he spent an estimated $3 million (£2.4m) renovating the 42-room house, restoring it to its former glory, before putting it on the market in 1986. He converted a room where Pickford had housed her gowns into a trophy room, but tried to stay true to the style of the period.

Tearing down the house

Tearing down the house

Buss sold Pickfair to actress Pia Zadora and her husband, multi-millionaire businessman Meshulum Riklis, in 1988 for $6.7 million (£5.3m); but the couple caused outrage when they announced they had demolished the original house, retaining only the separate guest house, the servants’ quarters and the old house’s living room. 

A Venetian palazzo

A Venetian palazzo

The couple embarked on a two-year remodelling project to transform the house into a Renaissance-style Venetian palazzo with tile roofs, leaded windows, balconies and verandas, claiming the original building had been infested with termites and they had no choice but to tear it down. When asked, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. told the Los Angeles Times : “I wonder, if they were going to demolish it, why they bought it in the first place.”

Pia Zadora’s ghost stories

Pia Zadora’s ghost stories

The actress changed her story in 2012, however, during an interview with the Biography Channel , in which she revealed that the real reason she demolished the house was because she thought it was haunted. She said a tall laughing woman in white had appeared to her and her children several times. “I would never have torn down this old home,” she said. “You can deal with termites, and you can deal with plumbing issues, but you can’t deal with the supernatural.”

Company headquarters

Technology giant  UNICOM Global , which is owned by Korean businessman Corry Hong, purchased the estate for $17.6 million (£13.9m) in 2005 for use as the company’s executive meeting centre. As such, it features an indoor spa, a theatre and a gym, along with sweeping views of Beverly Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains. 

A hefty price tag

A hefty price tag

The property hit the market again in 2008 with a price tag of $60 million (£47.5m), according to the Hilton & Hyland, boasting 25,243 square feet, 17 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms. However, it remains one of the US headquarters of UNICOM Global. 

Modern interiors

Modern interiors

The newer property bears little resemblance to how it would have been when Hollywood’s first power couple were residents here. The interiors were designed in the late 2000s to accommodate the needs of its modern-day visitors, who tend to stay here for conferences and high-profile meetings. 

Future for Pickfair

Future for Pickfair

Yet, despite its most recent price tag and modern comforts, including a glass-domed spa, a ballroom, and disco, it would require further restoration should it change hands again, according to real estate agents. Though transformed significantly from those golden early days of Hollywood, you can still imagine Mary Pickford floating down the stairs in a stunning gown.

And the oscar goes to… pigs in a blanket.

Appetites and appearances always are in conflict at awards season parties — and while strategies for sating oneself without looking like a slob vary in the land of Oscar and Ozempic, one bite is the favorite by far.

Canapes being served at a party

Related Stories

2024 oscars ties record for most women nominees, with 32 percent, follow that envelope what happens to the cards that reveal the oscar winners, the smaller the bite, the better .

The most meager appetizers are offered up in bulk for a reason. These keep mess and manhandling to a minimum. One-bite crisps topped with tuna tartare, slim paper cones of french fries and that most celebrated of low-brow bites, pigs in a blanket, work particularly well — just beware  errant condiments. Conveniently, all are currently en vogue. “There’s a whole retro thing going on,” says Jeff Klein, whose JK Hotel Group operates Sunset Tower Hotel and San Vicente Bungalows. “Everyone wants to serve what was served in the 1960s.” Play your cards right and a meal can be made with minimal effort; just don’t be the rube who stalks the kitchen door. “Never accost the waitstaff as they come out,” says Lisa Gaché, etiquette expert and founder of Beverly Hills Manners. “They’ll eventually come around, they always do, so allow them to approach you.”

Only Hit the Buffet If You Can Snag a Seat

A napkin isn’t just a napkin .

That server, the one who’s balancing a tray of vegan pot stickers while navigating an oft-ungrateful crowd, is typically toting a pile of napkins in their other hand. Take one, even if you think you eat with the tidy efficience of Emily Post. Napkins can be a plate to hold a half-eaten slider, an emergency trash bag for off-smelling shrimp and, if employed discreetly, even a quick fix to freshen your smile before an incoming introduction. “Take any napkin that’s offered,” advises Gaché. “It’s something a lot of people overlook during a party — but, when partaking, they should always be front of mind.”

Embrace the Power Fast

When in doubt, remember george costanza.

Eating should never be cause for shame. Behaving as though you pulled up to the valet stand on the back of turnip truck, however, is grounds to permanently fall off of any guest list. So if the basic tenets of civil party dining escape you, think of the most slovenly Seinfeld character— and do exactly what he wouldn’t. “It wasn’t just the double dipping,” says Gaché, referring to Jason Alexander’s alter ego and his cultural association with dunking half-eaten food in communal sauce. “He’d pile his plate right to the hilt and then eat voraciously. Even if you’re eating, keep your focus on the conversation. These events are ultimately for relationship-building.”

Saks Fifth Avenue Debuts New $52M Women's Store in Beverly Hills

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, The Hollywood Reporter may receive an affiliate commission.

Looking for a private, pink-hued two-story suite with a view of the Hollywood Sign in which to try on the latest designer looks?

Look no further than the top floor of Saks Fifth Avenue's new Beverly Hills store which opens to the public on Feb. 8, inside the 130,000-square-foot building at 9570 Wilshire Boulevard that once housed Barneys New York.

Dubbed the Hollywood Suite, the airy, intimate space is one of a total of 15 private salons located on the fifth floor of the new department store, which Saks has renovated to the tune of $52 million.

The suites - along with an outdoor dining terrace affording views of the Hollywood Hills - comprise the Fifth Avenue Club, the private-client shopping and styling services area of the store (which also has its own direct elevator to whisk clients up to the fifth floor). But while the word "club" might sound like something akin to the retail version of Soho House, John Antonini, Saks' svp, director of stores, explains that "these personal shopping services are by appointment only, but free of charge. Anybody can sign up for them to meet with a personal shopper. Many of our clients develop lifelong relationships with our shoppers and we curate lifestyle ready wardrobes."

Shoppers who book these services can enjoy a suite that's decidedly elevated and sumptuously decorated - and can be curated to look and operate almost like its own boutique. On a tour of the new Saks just ahead of the opening, one such space was already kitted out for a client, with designer dresses hung around the room, accessories tastefully on display and champagne at the bar, all catered to the shopper's aesthetic. "Our shopper has curated items from the building, pulled things in from Saks.com, looked at things from brands that are special order - everything just for her," says Bo Kim, vice president and general manager of Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills.

The Fifth Avenue Club shares its floor with a nearly 4,000-square-foot Chanel shop-in-shop. There are also three generously apportioned boutique spaces devoted to Dior, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, which are located on the second floor. "Gucci, Dior and Louis Vuitton contain the entire offering of these brands, from leather goods and accessories to women's ready-to-wear to their own fine and fashion jewelry businesses," says Antonini, adding that these shop-in-shops have their own sitting areas and dedicated fitting rooms. "There are these unique spaces for more intimacy and privacy," he says. The second floor is also dedicated to both high and fine jewelry, featuring such brands as Chopard, Graff, Lorraine Schwartz, Anita Ko, Repossi, Vhernier and Foundrae, as well as a private viewing suite for trying on special pieces.

One thing inveterate shoppers will note is that this new Saks Fifth Avenue store has preserved the Regency-style marble staircase as well as the impressive skylight that highlighted the old Barneys store. "We've really left the centerpiece of the building untouched," says Antonini.

But the rest of the property basically underwent a gut renovation, which began two years ago. The building had sat empty after Barneys New York went bankrupt in 2019. That opened the way for Saks to move from its longtime, eight-floor Hollywood Regency home a block to the west, which it had occupied since 1938. One appeal of the new address is that it's that much closer to Rodeo Drive, which Antonini predicts will make for more walk-in customers. The move also is part of a larger master plan - Saks' owner, Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) has plans to redevelop the original Saks store as a mixed-use site and construct additional office and residential buildings. The longtime Saks men's store, also located on Wilshire Boulevard, will remain in place. "What this becomes is an extremely exciting block where our two Saks Fifth Avenue stores anchor a beautiful redevelopment of Wilshire that will have lots of different components to it," says Antonini.

On the ground floor, the new Saks women's store is devoted almost entirely to shoes, with some handbags in the mix. "We have doubled the square footage that we dedicate to women's shoes," says Antonini.

Just below, on the lower level, makeup, fragrances and skincare items beckon shoppers, featuring brands including Charlotte Tilbury, La Mer, Tom Ford, Le Labo, Dr. Barbara Sturm, Santa Maria Novella, and 111Skin. There are also three spa-like rooms for by-appointment beauty treatments. "If anyone needed a facial or complimentary makeup application, all of that is done in these three amazing rooms," says Kim, also noting that the Saks.com services window (for returns and for items bought online for in-store pick-up) is located on the lower level.

Two more floors (levels three and four) feature yet more women's clothes with more shop-in-shops and spotlighting such brands as Brunello Cucinelli, Akris, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Dolce & Gabbana, Dries Van Noten, Fendi, Loewe, Thom Browne, Valentino and more. More than 25 new brands are available for the first time at Saks in Beverly Hills.

Design elements throughout the new store deftly mix the modern and the elegant, with geometric lighting fixtures, rich textiles, pops of playful color and metallic finishes, all overseen by Saks in-house design department which worked with retail architects at Arcadis. A nice touch that New York Saks shoppers will note is that the interiors of the elevators are finished with pastel-hued milky dichroic laminate, similar to the look of the OMA/Rem Koolhaas-designed escalator at Saks' Manhattan flagship.

And for shoppers who would like a cocktail or champagne to enjoy while they peruse, there are QR codes posted throughout the store, allowing visitors to order drinks via Apple Pay to be delivered wherever they like. "We have a liquor license for the entire building," says Antonini.

Adds Antonini, "Los Angeles is after New York City for us, the most important market from a luxury retail perspective in the United States. We have been here for over 80 years. We believe we're entrenched in the community. We have thousands and thousands of loyal local clients who have always enjoyed the saks experience, but it was time for us to take it to a new level."
