On his website, Allan Ellenberger, author of Celebrities in the 1930 Census, has recent photos of Mary Astor's 1930 residence, a mildly art-deco building in Hollywood. Astor, née Lucile Vasconcellos Langhanke, was at the time the widow of Howard Hawks' brother, Kenneth Hawks.
The Mary Astor screenshot above is from a trailer for The Great Lie, Edmund Goulding's 1941 melodrama for which Astor won a well-deserved best supporting actress Oscar. (Even though she actually seems to have as much screen time as the film's nominal star, Bette Davis.)

Amazing!
Mary Astor was a great match to Bette D. in The Great Lie. She almost stole the sohw.
