Hollywood has always had a home in the pages of Architectural Digest. Singers, dancers, ingenues, character actors, directors, producers, talk-show hosts, and the most legendary of stars have opened their doors to the magazine over the decades. AD’s March issue, for instance, features a cast of A-listers up-close and personal, from Sir Elton John in Beverly Hills to actor Will Ferrell in New York City to singer-songwriter John Legend in Los Angeles. Which inspired us to look back to the golden age of Hollywood and create a slide show of Tinseltown legends in their off-screen habitats as they appeared in our pages.

FRANK SINATRA
Actor Yul Brynner and Frank Sinatra chat poolside at the singer’s luxurious compound at the Tamarisk Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. “The desert was Dad’s lifelong passion, the place where he felt healthiest and most peaceful,” Sinatra’s daughter Tina, once wrote. Purchased in the 1950s and adjacent to the country club’s seventeenth fairway, the two-and-a-half-acre property remained a family getaway until 1995.
