Home of the Day: Old Hollywood intrigue in Whitley Heights
As the legend goes, silent screen star Rudolph Valentino commissioned this Spanish-style residence in Whitley Heights for his mistress, stage and film actress Pola Negri, in the early 1920s.
The main house retains its “Old Hollywood” vibe from its antique limestone fireplaces, barrel-rolled ceilings and period fixtures.
Atop the home, a rooftop deck takes in views of the Hollywood Sign.
