Palm Springs has a huge architecture event called Modernism Week
every February. It’s a fascinating array of architecture, lectures,
parties, tours, exhibits, and the occasional plastic surgery gone
awry. Host George Smart was there earlier this year talking
with nearly all the speakers, authors, and special guests who make
the week (actually 11 days) a blast!
Authors Michael
Stern and Alan Hess join
us poolside at the swanky Hotel Skylark to discuss their new
book: Hollywood Modern: Houses of the Stars. They uniquely
capture the glamour of each star and how their personality, even
their appearance, matches the house they chose. From the Johnny
Carson House in Malibu to the ultramodern Gary Cooper House in
Holmby Hills, these houses curate our brains just like the movies
do. Later on, we welcome back the delightful celebrity
expert Lindsay Blake, creator of the hugely
popular movie location blog Iamnotastalker. Spoiler
alert: she’s quite the stalker!
