One of the most famous homes in Palm Springs is the Kaufmann House,
designed by Richard Neutra. It was recently the star of Don't
Worry Darling, filmed right before it sold, and there's a rich
history there. Even Barry Manilow owned it at one
point! Adele Cygelman is the
author of Palm Springs
Modern and Arthur Elrod: Desert Modern
Design. Her recent research focused on Edgar Kaufmann’s first
wife, Liliane, and his second, a woman who, um, assumed hostessing
duties after Liliane retreated back to Pittsburgh. Cathy Whitlock
is a film journalist and author of Designs on Film: A
Century of Hollywood Art Direction. Chris Baugh is a film
location manager who secured the Kaufmann house for the movie.
Later on, from our studios, a legend in folk music, someone who was
actually there at the Lincoln Memorial for Martin Luther King Jr.'s
iconic speech, musician Noel Paul Stookey of Peter Paul and
Mary.
