Actually, you really should know the name Robert Evans because he is a legend.  He was also married to Ali MacGraw but even more famous than all of these things is his house, Woodland, in Beverly Hills.  <a href="http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/27/domesticities-at-home-with-robert-evans/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">The New York Times</span></a> has just published a story about the home in T magazine.  I knew it looked familiar and I finally remembered that Matt Trynauer had written a very interesting article, <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/style/features/2009/03/john-woolf200903"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Glamour Begins at Home</span></a>,  for Vanity Fair about the architect, <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/style/features/2009/03/john-woolf200903"><span style="color: #b45f06;">John Woolf</span></a>.  It was built in 1941 for interior designer James Pendleton and is considered a masterpiece.  The style became known as Hollywood Regency and John Woolf's life story is almost as interesting as that of Robert Evans. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;">In his autobiography, <em>The Kid Stays in the Picture</em>, as well as the wonderful video on <em>The New York Times</em> website, Robert Evans tells the story of how he came to fall in love with the house.  Actress Norma Shearer took him on a walk about 10 minutes from the Beverly Hills Hotel.  "We entered a hidden oasis, protected by hundred-foot-tall eucalyptus trees.   It was Greta Garbo's hideaway whenever she snuck into town.  The house, a formal pavilion with a mansard roof, was beautifully proportioned.  But what really got me were the grounds-nearly two acres of towering eucalyptus, sycamores, and cypresses, thousands of roses, all behind walls."  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">It was not for sale but Mr. Pendleton was a widower and living there all alone sold it to Robert Evans.  "For $290,000 the place of my dreams was mine.  Paramount took over...an army of studio engineers, carpenters, painters, electricians, and plumbers expanded the pool house into a luxurious screening room with state-of-the-art projection facilities, including the largest seamless screen ever made-sixteen feet wide.  A new, winding driveway was installed off Woodland Drive to create a second, more private entrance.  A greenhouse was constructed.  A north-south, day-and-night tennis court was designed by Gene Mako, the premier designer of hard surface courts."  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;">"Nature couldn't be improved on when it came to the garden's prize.  Standing among the over two thousand rosebushes was an enormous spreading sycamore, several centuries old, with branches covering half an acre.  Anything that's been breathing that long needs lots of help.  For the circumference of the half acre, every three feet the roots are intravenously fed.  Many a time I've given it an anxious look: 'You're one hell of an expensive lady.' But it's more than a tree - it's a piece of art.  I'd take a night job to keep its leaves aglow.  Twenty-one weddings have been blessed under its far reaching branches.  I'm sure its batting an average higher than any alter in the world.  Nineteen for twenty-one.  Not bad huh? Only two have failed - <em>mine</em>."</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguhJc5QX3WexueS7leEyY1_Z2r-LH8okwJFW4aDEczsoTFXeuwk7-NYVhhMgjBvXlB5Dk9WF8vEIKv6gZTY3Na3ULfdkH0_w7rN8Pa0yEi9cnYwRwvIRis5TMvT9Rh4pOtRMtidA8b3_Y/s1600/woodland+robert+evans+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
