Harold, Buster, Charlie, Mary and Doug were once neighbors

Postby John Bengtson » Sat Dec 11, 2021 8:09 pm

In the grand early days, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks held court at their Pickfair estate. Charlie Chaplin built his home nearby, followed later by Buster Keaton’s Italian Villa, and Harold Lloyd’s magnificent Green Acres estate. For a few years, at the peak of their film careers, Harold, Buster, Charlie, Mary and Doug were once all neighbors.
