A Beverly Hills estate with a unique connection to Hollywood's golden era has sold for $9.015 million. Known as "The Stars of Beverly Hills," the property was the longtime residence of Hollywood legends Kirk Douglas and Anne Douglas. Its most remarkable feature is a garden path paved with pavers bearing the signatures of over 40 entertainment icons, including Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Kirk and Anne Douglas purchased the 1921-built residence in 1976 for $400,000. The distinctive garden path was inspired by the couple's frequent dinner parties, transforming the elegant estate into a living piece of Hollywood memorabilia. The collection of autographs, which grew over the years, offers a rare element of provenance.
The 4,648-square-foot home features four bedrooms and five bathrooms, maintaining the character of a traditional Beverly Hills estate. The grounds include a resort-style swimming pool and a two-story guesthouse. Its prime location near Rodeo Drive and exclusive amenities adds to its appeal.
With Kirk Douglas passing in 2020 at 103 and Anne Douglas in 2021 at 102, their legacy further enhances the residence's significance. The sale price of $9.015 million reflects a premium paid for its tangible connection to cinematic history.
