Hidden Paradise of Showbiz Legends' Hideaways

Ranging from romantic Spanish Colonial Revival to dramatic Contemporary Modern, these hillside hideaways were home to Hollywood’s elite. Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner, Sonny and Cher, Suzanne Somers, and music legend Johnny Mercer just to name a few, lived in the protective shadow of the San Jacinto Mountains. Today legend Barry Manilow enjoys this slice of paradise.
