The Wizard of Oz star lived in the show-stopping property perched just above Sunset Strip from 1944 to 1948, during which time she married Vincente Minnelli, who directed her in the hit movie musical Meet Me in St Louis. Their daughter Liza was born at the house in 1946. When Garland and her family moved in, the property was only three years old, having been built by “architect to the stars” John Elgin Woolf in 1941.
Today, the Art Deco-style home spans three floors of suitably A-list living space, in large part due to modifications by another former superstar owner, the late singer, musician, film star and member of the Hollywood “Rat Pack”, Sammy Davis Jr. Davis bought the property in 1955, expanding it and adding a separate pool house where he could record music and host late-night parties without disturbing his children asleep in the main house.Along with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms in the main house, the pool house and pool, there’s also an orchard and extensive gardens.
Last time the house was sold was in 2020 for $4.675 Million.
