Mary Astor’s 1930 Hollywood Residence



Mary Astor in The Great Lie

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.
