"Designed by architect to the stars Paul R. Williams, the classic 10,000-square-foot mansion draws heavily from Georgian architecture and takes in canyon, city and mountain views. Former White House designer Michael Smith updated the elegant 10,000 square feet of interiors in keeping with Williams' vision. Remaining are the signature winding staircase and a secret passageway from the library to the master suite."
"Pitts, who died in 1963 at 69, starred in the silent film "Greed." With the advent of sound, she worked almost exclusively in comedies, including "Finn and Hattie" (1931), "Blondie of the Follies" (1932) and "Ruggles of Red Gap" (1935)."
"Like so many other homes with a rich celebrity pedigree, this Traditional-style house dates to the 1930s. There are seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The grounds include a swimming pool and a pool house."
