When average folks achieve celebrity status, fame and recognition become a given. With stardom, though, comes money. After that, can you guess what comes next? Mansions, cars, and all sorts of expensive buys, of course! It’s the case today, and decades ago, during the Golden Age of Hollywood, it was no different.

Many of you might want to catch a glimpse of the places where Hollywood’s royalty ended up after their hectic workdays. Well, we have here what must be the best collection of vintage celebrity houses from the days of the yesteryear. Surely, your interest is now piqued, so let’s get going!

Joan Crawford’s Home In Brentwood

Joan Crawford’s willpower to follow her childhood ambition and to ultimately achieve success in a competitive industry should be praised. Having started off as a dancer, Crawford shot to stardom following her appearance in Our Dancing Daughters. Her marital life did not see such luck, though.

While gradually climbing the ladder of success, Crawford purchased her first house in 1929. It was an 8,103 square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion with nine bedrooms and seven baths. However, she and her first husband (out of 4) altered it to a New-England-style residence. Only after 26 years did she leave her beloved house to relocate to New York City with her second husband.

Bing Crosby’s Home In Toluca Lake

Having worked with Bob Hope for a very long time, Bing Crosby went on to build a house and settle down close to his friend. Although he moved to this fancy home in 1936, the excitement was short-lived. A huge housefire in 1943 forced Crosby to sell the property.

While he moved on to a new neighborhood, television personality Andy Griffith bore ownership to the house in the ’70s. Both Mickey Dolenz and Jerry Van Dyke (Dick Van Dyke’s brother) are also said to have resided in the 7,711 square-foot mansion. As it was worth around $4 million back in 2011, we assume the price has only skyrocketed since then.
