Few artists have shaped the cultural landscape like Aubrey Drake Graham—mononymously known to his legions of fans as just Drake and sometimes as Champagne Papi or Drizzy. From his breakout acting role as a teenager on Degrassi: The Next Generation to hit songs, including Hotline Bling, and chart-topping albums like Take Care, the Canadian rapper, singer, and actor has proven […] More

Originally built in the mid-1920s and known as Villa Palazzetto, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure sits on a walled and gated corner parcel spanning over a third of an acre. Famously occupied in the 1930s by the late Hollywood screenwriter and director Delmer Daves, whose most successful work was the 1959 film A Summer Place, the property has six bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 5,000 square feet across three levels.
Steps lead up to a hand-carved front door, which opens into a double-height entry foyer that flows to an elegant living room sporting a French stone fireplace and large windows overlooking sweeping views of Downtown L.A. The formal dining room connects to a kitchen outfitted with a white subway tile backsplash, an eat-in island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a U-shaped breakfast banquette set against a bay window. An adjacent media room has French doors spilling out to an alfresco entertaining area, while a coffer-ceilinged library comes with a Juliet balcony.
The walled and foliage-laced backyard hosts a saltwater pool and spa.

The totally reimagined onetime estate of late actor and comedian Dom DeLuise has popped up for sale at $21 million, 16 years after he passed away at age 75.
Records show The Cannonball Run and Blazing Saddles star acquired the third-acre spread in 1968 for just $103,000 and lived there until his death in 2009. The place subsequently traded hands for the first time in over half a century in late 2021, selling to an entity managed by Jeff Mironer of Provincetown Estates for nearly $6.5 million, per The Real Deal. The developer went on to raze DeLuise’s outdated 1950s house and replace it with the modern mansion now on the market. Anthony Marguleas of Amalfi Estates holds the listing.
The family room is anchored by an elegant stone fireplace embedded in white oak paneling.

Jennifer Lopez may be Jenny from the Block back in the Bronx, but these days her block stretches from Beverly Hills and Bel Air to Miami and the Hamptons. The triple-threat entertainer and business mogul has spent more than three decades building an empire—and her homes are every bit as headline-making as her music, movies, […] More
Reese Witherspoon may have started as America’s sweetheart, but she’s since become a Hollywood powerhouse with serious business and real estate savvy. Over the past three decades, she’s built a career that spans acting, producing, and entrepreneurship, moving seamlessly between box-office hits, prestige television, and passion projects. That success has also translated into some of the industry’s top paychecks—at least $1 million per episode for television, including $1.2 million for The Morning Show, which she also produces.
In 2012, the Legally Blonde star cofounded Pacific Standard, the company behind acclaimed films like Wild and Gone Girl. Four years later, she transformed it into Hello Sunshine, a women-driven media giant. In 2021, the company was sold for over $900 million to a Blackstone-backed media firm, with Witherspoon joining the board, staying involved in daily operations, and retaining significant equity. The company has delivered hits like Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere and developed high-profile adaptations, including Where the Crawdads Sing and Netflix’s From Scratch.
Her empire also extends to Reese’s Book Club, which counts 2.1 million followers and has seen 42 of its 50 picks land on The New York Times Best Sellers list—providing a built-in audience for future screen projects.
Off-screen, the Academy Award winner has built a reputation as a real estate aficionado, buying, selling, and flipping homes across Los Angeles and her hometown of Nashville for the past two decades. Much like fellow celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, she’s developed a knack for turning high-end properties into investments. In recent years alone, she’s sold a Los Angeles property for $21.5 million—after paying under $16 million in 2020—and offloaded a Nashville home for nearly double what she paid in 2018.
Many of these properties aren’t full-time residences but rather investments, retreats, or future projects. Still, each reflects Witherspoon’s sharp eye for style, comfort, and long-term value. From storybook Southern estates to sleek West Coast escapes and Bahamian hideaways, the homes of her collection are covered in more detail below.

Back in 1987, iconic anti-pop artist Edward “Ed” Ruscha doled out $2.6 million for a ranch house in the Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood. He and his wife, Danica, went on to acquire the home next door when it came up for sale—to avoid having it torn down and replaced with what Ruscha called a “three-story Swiss Tudor Pop Gothic”—and then engaged architectural designer Morgan Livingston to help combine the two existing 1950s structures into a seamless live/work compound that was later featured in the pages of Architectural Digest.
The couple eventually sold the entire spread in the early 2000s for $1.95 million to a creative couple, who in turn transferred the place in 2011 for $2.5 million to Little Minx founder and president Rhea Scott, a film and commercial producer most known for her work on music videos for everyone from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Madonna. Now, 14 years later, the artistic property has returned to the market, this time at a speck under $4.7 million. Frank Langen of Compass holds the listing.

If the walls of this charming 1930s home in the Laurel Canyon enclave of Hollywood Hills could talk, they would probably regale listeners with tales of how the late Oscar-nominated costume designer Theodora Van Runkle lived there while working on wardrobes for films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Godfather II, and Peggy Sue Got Married—in a studio she reportedly created out of an enormous wine vat culled from the set of Wuthering Heights, no less.
Or maybe they would speak of the residence’s setting as a creative haven for music legends like Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, John Lennon, and Jim Morrison. In fact, the latter’s Doors bandmates, Robby Krieger and John Densmore, bunked together at a house right down the street. It’s there that the charismatic lead singer was said to crash on occasion, once taking a walk around the surrounding neighborhood and returning with the lyrics for the Billboard chart-topper “People Are Strange.”
But that’s not all. At one point, Van Runkle shared the home with her ex-husband, actor and photographer Bruce McBroom, who took the iconic shot for Farrah Fawcett’s 1976 red swimsuit poster that’s now on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
The living room is topped with a crystal chandelier hanging from a whitewashed pressed-tin ceiling.

The commercial illustrator-turned-costume designer died from lung cancer in 2011 at age 83, and the three-bedroom, three-bath home was last sold in late 2015 for $1.7 million. Now, a decade later, this footnote of Hollywood history—and all its intriguing anecdotes—is up for grabs at the tidy sum of $2.25 million. The pad has been dubbed Pebble Court as a nod to outdoor spaces that the also-prolific painter covered in small pebbles. Those areas have since been upgraded with new decking to accommodate events, but some of those small stones have been scattered on pathways as an ode to the onetime owner.
“Every inch of this home is steeped in artistry, legacy, and vision,” said Madeline Goldberg of Compass, who holds the listing. “It is a true piece of art and still carries the creative energy of Laurel Canyon circa 1967.”
The kitchen comes with an antique O’Keefe & Merritt range and a window-lined breakfast nook.

Tucked away on nearly half an acre at the end of a lengthy gated driveway, the bohemian-chic oasis offers roughly 1,300 square feet of pristine white living space teeming with a mix of hardwood and penny tile floors, wood-paneled walls, casement windows, and soaring pressed-tin ceilings dotted with skylights.
Among the highlights is a spacious fireside living room that opens to the outside via French doors, plus a sun-drenched kitchen sporting an antique O’Keefe & Merritt range and a cozy breakfast nook. The primary bedroom comes with a fireplace and an en suite bath flaunting a built-in oval soaking tub topped with a duo of stained-glass windows. Adjacent to the primary is a sitting area, which has a fireplace and a spiral staircase leading up to a loft.
The garden-laced grounds feature a large decked gathering space with a new outdoor kitchen and a flagstone patio that’s ideal for alfresco dining. More reasons to fall in love: a separate one-bedroom, one-bath casita with its own fireplace, kitchen, and living area.

Three months after they hit the market, a pair of 1950s properties making up Rob Zombie’s longtime compound in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Hollywood Hills have officially sold.
Records show the neighboring Robert “Bouler” Thorgusen-designed residences tucked away behind a shared gated driveway off Hollywood Hills Road went to two separate unnamed buyers who inked both deals for a total of $8.9 million, just $100,000 less than the combined asking price of $9 million.
Also listed individually by Rick Tyberg, Lauren Duffy, and Abigail Gutwein of Douglas Elliman, the bigger three-bedroom, three-bath spread transferred for $5.5 million, a tad under the $5.6 million ask, while the smaller two-bedroom, two-bath place next door brought in its full price of $3.4 million.
Set on dual parcels that together span just over seven acres, the midcentury charcoal-hued dwellings were acquired by Zombie and his actress wife Sheri Moon Zombie almost a decade ago in separate transactions for a collective $7 million, with the couple snagging a nifty $2 million profit on the sale.
9031 Hollywood Hills Road is spotlighted by a pool that flows beneath the house.

John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands were true Hollywood royalty. The indie-film power couple collaborated on several celebrated movies, and they raised three children who went on to also work in the industry. Now, following Rowlands’s death a year ago, their longtime home is hitting the market for $5 million.
The five-bedroom, four-bath Laurel Canyon abode is up for sale for the first time since 1963, when Rowlands and Cassavetes took ownership of the property. It’s a striking piece of Hollywood history, filled with original details that the couple retained and artistic touches that they added over the years. The pair also used the home as a setting for films like Faces, Minnie and Moskowitz, Opening Night, and Love Streams. Kate Blackwood and Kristal Moffett at Compass hold the listing.

Approaching the 4,305-square-foot residence, you wouldn’t necessarily know that it was home to a couple of Hollywood stalwarts. But behind the lemon-yellow front door is a simple yet stunning sanctuary with a few nods to the owners. A fireplace anchors the wood-paneled living room, which is lined with built-ins and windows. Vintage black-and-white tiled floors are found in the kitchen and its adjoining breakfast nook. And Rowlands and Cassavetes covered the walls of a simple bar with photos of their friends and family.

One bedroom sits on the home’s main level, while the primary suite and the other bedrooms are all found upstairs. What might be the best detail of the entire house is actually in one of the bathrooms, though: A hand-painted mural done by a family member depicts starlets getting ready for a night out, applying their makeup and fixing their hair—exactly what Rowlands herself might have been doing here before film premieres or nights out on the town. The pink bathroom also has Old Hollywood vanity lights surrounding the sink mirror, adding even more glitz and glamor to the space.
The simple primary suite is found on the upper level.

Out back, there’s a patio with ample room for lounging around outdoors. If you’d rather be more active, there’s a small basketball court and a putting green. The property, which spans three parcels, includes a buildable lot on which you can expand. And situated on what’s known as the Hollywood Hills’ “Celebrity Row,” the Cassavetes/Rowlands home is surrounded by famous neighbors like Lady Gaga, Zac Efron, and Will Ferrell. You’ll be in good company, then.
