It's now at the disposal of the widow of Ameriquest founder Roland Arnall, an architect from the subprime mortgage meltdown. "Covering it had been irresistible," states Michael Gross, author of Unreal Estate (Broadway, $30), phone uppermost echelons of L.A. property. (Gross composed a magazine in regards to a famous NY building, 740 Park, in 2005.) Starting with the founding from the communities define the so-known as Platinum Triangular of Holmby Hillsides, Beverly Hillsides and Bel-Air, the writer informs the storyline of fame, wealth and social striving in L.A. with the occupants of 16 from the area's great mansions.

But 141 S. Carolwood Drive sticks out because of its famous proprietors as well as their tales of trysts, damaged partnerships, dissolution and predatory capitalism. Created by architect Robert Farquhar (also accountable for Beverly Hillsides Senior High School), it had been commissioned by Florence Quinn, the first kind wife of mall mogul Arthur Letts Sr., the visionary behind the roll-out of Holmby Hillsides. Named after his family's Holmby Lodge in Northamptonshire, England, the city -- created from Letts' acquisition of 3,296 acres in West La -- adopted within the actions of Beverly Hillsides and Bel-Air.

Within the mid-nineteen forties, it passed with the hands of Hotel Bel-Air founder Frederick Drown, who offered the home to probably the most effective males in Hollywood, movie mogul Schenck. "He furnished it inside a manner referred to as spare -- possibly while he considered the heavens, starlets and Hollywood gamers he filled the area with plenty of decoration," creates Gross from the first leader of U . s . Artists and, later, chairman of twentieth century Fox. Schenck's most famous decoration at Carolwood was Marilyn Monroe. "Though nobody alive know for several, it appears reasonably obvious he started an affair with [her] there," creates Gross. "Based on legend, she spotted him departing the studio in the limousine, exhibited him a sexy smile and also got his card along with a dinner invitation in exchange." She grew to become a normal at his parties, home tests and poker games, standing behind his chair as they performed. Soon, she was residing in the guesthouse. She was 21 and lately have been dropped from her contract at Fox, with merely a couple of small movie roles under her belt. The cigar-chomping Schenck, whose first and just wife was actress Norma Talmadge, was approaching 70. Anthony Summer season referred to him in the 1985 book Goddess: The Key Lives of Marilyn Monroe as "a endured bear of the guy." STORY: Sierra Towers: The Strategies of L.A.'s Strange, Sexy Celebrity Condo Building Although Monroe refused for an interviewer that they and Schenck have been intimate, her biographers describe it as being an affair that placed sex -- "It sometimes required hrs. I had been relieved when he went to sleep," Monroe is stated to possess confided to some friend -- and lengthy-lasting friendship. In 1948, Schenck got Harry Cohn to sign her at Columbia Pictures. Fox wasn't work selection for her Fox co-founder Darryl F. Zanuck dismissively known to Monroe as "Schenck's girl." (Monroe eventually came back to Fox to create About Eve). Schenck offered the home in 1956 to Superior Oil's Keck, who added an inside pool and gold bathroom-sink fittings formed like oil derricks. Curtis purchased ten years later, seven years after his now-classic submit Some Enjoy It Hot. The actor, creates Gross, "did remember Carolwood because he'd dated [Monroe] when she was bunking in [the] guesthouse." The mansion, then worth $300,000, would be a symbol for that actor of finally getting managed to get, buying and selling up through a number of ever-more-impressive houses."During my heart, I had been the Count, which houses grew to become cloaks," Curtis once stated. "After I drawn them on, they grew to become me, not the other way round." He moved along with his second wife, then 21-year-old German actress Christine Kaufmann, whom he met around the group of the 1962 film Taras Bulba, as well as their two youthful kids. At Carolwood, they entertained the kind of Gregory Peck, Roman Polanski and Jean Renoir. But as Kaufmann informs THR, Curtis, who was raised poor within the Bronx, was affected by insecurity: "John Calley once stated in my experience that Tony thought by getting married to me, he could kind of occupy European culture -- it would end up part of him. However it didn't. I don't think his childhood ever left him." Curtis frequently worried the cloak would disappear. "I'm not likely to say Tony didn't understand how to use forks and spoons, but the higher the house, the higher the fear," states Kaufmann. Related Subjects Cher Property 1 2 next last

Mattel buys Hit for $680 mil

Toymaker Mattel Monday announced plans to acquire Hit Ent. for $680 million in cash from U.K. private equity firm Apax Partners. Hit, of the U.K., with annual revenue of about $180 million, owns a premier global portfolio of preschool brands, including Thomas & Friends, Barney, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam and Angelina Ballerina. El Segundo, Calif.-based Mattel is the company behind Barbie, Hot Wheels, American Girl and a wide array of entertainment-inspired toy lines. Speculation about a deal between the two emerged last week. Mattel already has a contract with Hit through 2014 to license certain plastic Thomas products, whose global sales total more than $150 million, the company said. The deal, it said, will allow it continue to expand the products and reunite two key pieces of the Thomas toy lineup, the plastic and die-cast toys with the wood-based business. "Hit Entertainment owns some of the most loved and trusted preschool brands in the world and under Mattel's leadership, I look forward to seeing them grow to even greater heights," said Hit CEO Jeffrey Dunn. "Mattel is a wonderful steward of brands, and a great home for the outstanding properties Hit has developed and grown." The acquisition does not include Hit's interest in the cable network station Sprout. The transaction is expected to be financed with a combination of cash and debt, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2012. It is not expected to have a material impact on Mattel's 2012 earnings, but is expected to be increasingly accretive as the benefits of owning these brands are reflected in Mattel's results. "Mattel is the right home for Thomas and friends," said Mattel chief executive Robert Eckert. Hit CEO Jeffrey Dunn added: "It is fitting that the world's premier toy company should become the owner of the world's premier pre-school property." Hit, which was created by the late British media entrepreneur Peter Orton in 1989, was bought by Apax for $890 million in 2005. In the succeeding years the children's content business has been buffeted by declining DVD sales and uncertainties over future TV ad revenues. Contact Variety Staff at news@variety.com
