Stars lurk in the history of this Hollywood Hills Tudor
You don’t have to scratch too deeply into property records to find a former owner of note in Hollywood Hills. This 1930 Tudor was once the home of actress Kathy Bates, who sold the rambling two-story in late 1999 for $859,000 to actor and writer Jon Cryer.
Another name looming large in the history of the house is “Dracula” actor Bela Lugosi. He lived in his beloved La Paloma just up the street. He sold that house as his fortunes dwindled and moved some 20 times in as many years. Westshire Manor is reportedly among his many stops.
