Harlow/Bern House - Jay Sebring's House (Former)

Commonly referred to as the Harlow/Bern House, this Beverly Hills home gets its name from the original owners, actress Jean Harlow and her husband, movie producer Paul Bern. The couple was married for just two months before tragedy struck. On September 5th, 1932, Paul Bern was found dead with a single gunshot wound to the head and a 38 caliber revolver in his hand. His body was discovered by house staff who, rather than calling the police, immediately contacted executives at MGM, the studio where Bern worked. Though his death was ultimately ruled a suicide by police, many people (including some of Bern's colleagues in the film industry) believe he was actually murdered and that the studio covered it up to save Harlow's career. Whichever the case, Bern wouldn't be the last owner of the home to suffer an untimely death. Three more people would die at 9860 Easton Drive; one man committed suicide, another drowned in the pool, and years later a maid hung herself.

It was bought by celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring in 1963. Jay once dated actress Sharon Tate. While staying at the house alone in 1965, Sharon was awoken in the middle of the night to see a little man by the bed, terrified she ran out of the bedroom and down the stairs. Tied to the foot of the staircase she saw the body of a man with his throat slashed. In the blink of an eye the atrocious image was gone. She fixed herself a drink and went back to bed convinced that she had seen the ghost of Paul Bern. Jay stayed with Sharon on 10050 Cielo Drive on August 8th, 1969, where they were murdered by the Manson Family cult. This house was sold in 1973 after Sebring's murder.

The Harlow/Bern House was built in 1930. The 1,110 residence boats 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was last sold in 2014 for $855,000.
