"According to Robb Report, the sprawling bungalow that once belonged to Hollywood icon Cary Grant is officially available for a cool $12.7 million. Grant spent so much time at the Palm Springs getaway, which was formerly owned by his pal Las Vegas entrepreneur Charlie Rich, that when the time came for Rich to offload the property, Grant was the first taker."
"Villa Paradiso was Grant's favored hangout during his later years as a husband and father, but before that time, Grant lived in Santa Monica with his roommate- and probable soulmate -Randolph Scott. The two met as bit players signed to Paramount, back when Grant was doing small parts in Mae West movies and Scott was played rugged Western heros in Zane Grey adaptations."
"Grant's sexuality has been a hot topic ever since the '30s, when even gossip maven Hedda Hopper felt comfortable saying the quiet part out loud in her column. 'Whom does he think he is fooling?' Hopper asked in the mid-30s."
Cary Grant's legendary Palm Springs home, Villa Paradiso, is now available for purchase at $12.7 million. The eight-bedroom, 14-bathroom estate was originally owned by Las Vegas entrepreneur Charlie Rich and became Grant's preferred retreat during his later life. Grant initially acquired the property after Rich decided to sell, and the actor spent considerable time there with his wife and daughter. The home features maximalist interiors and decorative gates bearing Grant's initials. Prior to Villa Paradiso, Grant lived in Santa Monica with actor Randolph Scott throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Grant's personal life and sexuality have been subjects of public speculation since the 1930s.
