Some have kindly corrected my error in the video that Holden and Stephanie Powers were married when they were actually dating partners. Thank you!
People living in this neighborhood have said they do recall them spending time together at his Palm Springs residence when they both wanted to get away from their LA area homes, usually on weekends and in the winter, and enjoyed the desert together riding dirt bikes and visiting their favorite dining spots in town.
Love seeing the homes of the celebrities from those years. They were my favorite.
Had you in mind as I was filming this one!
@@TracesofHollywood thank you! That's so cool!
thank you, I love William Holden
@@ninamc6116 You’re very welcome! He was a one of a kind talent.
Why?
Thanks for showing those beautiful examples of advanced architecture.Besides watcing them we can picture the personality of the owners.We can see Holden liked living in a desertic,isolated place nevertheless keeping an eye on his relatives.He was a family man in spite of his adventurous life.
@@Graciela-dx6if Thank you for the generous words, so happy you enjoyed the tour! Perfectly stated about their personalities.
I have an update on this video coming later today, stop by if you get the chance!
Great video, I went to a pool party many years ago at the Deepwell home before it went through the major remodel. It was much like it was when holden lived there, decor and all. Also, sorry to break it to you but the Southridge house you were showing was not Holden's. He lived at 2433, 2 houses further up on Southridge Dr. I went to a cocktail party there when it was owned by Allison Janney and her husband. I also know the real estate agent who sold the house for Janney. Anyway, interestingly the house directly below the one you showed belonged to Suzanne Sommers. She and her husband moved there after selling their sprawling mountainside estate in the Mesa neighborhood. Unfortunately, she passed away while living there only a year or so.
@PSPguy2 Thanks for this excellent info! Wow, I got the address right but filmed the wrong house on Southridge! Lol I’ll make a correction video, appreciate your insights! I have a Suzanne Somers video where I show this house. Sad she didn’t get to enjoy it for very long.
Stefanie Powers and William Holden were not married
You're so right, thank you for the correction!
@@TracesofHollywood your welcome
Holden and Powers werent married and didnt even live together.She lived in Beverly Hills I think.
Yes I definitely misspoke on that one and a few have kindly commented. I always appreciate corrections! Thank you!
You are welcome.
He was a HANDSOME guy who AGED TERRIBLY from alcohol addiction !
@@darylweinbrandt62 Also sadly what contributed to the awful way he died.
Indeed
and from the Palms Springs sun 🌞
Also very true. lol I'm drying out like a raisin.
Holden loved living in contact with nature.Since his youth he was usually sunburnt and dont forget he lived in Kenya great part of hos life .Sun exposition ages skin.People in the eEquator in their fifties look like eighties.Thats why Holdens skin aged prematurely while his body kept athletic.Check it in his last film SOB.
What's your favorite William Holden movie?
I'm a huge Sunset Blvd. fan but I think he really went out of genre and did an amazing job in The Omen II.
Breezy is my favourite.
Bridge over the river Kwai, The Wild Bunch....
@@edgaraquino2324 I remember watching Bridge Over the River Kwai w my grandfather on TV as a kid. He was a WWII vet and it’s a cherished memory I carry of him.
@@TracesofHollywood those are the best ones to have...nice...😊
@@edgaraquino2324 Thank you, I appreciate you!
@1'56" Wesley Addy on the r - an ALDRICH stalwart ; chief of ONI in TORA, TORA, TORA by FLEISCHER (1970). A very meritorious service record in character actor kingdom, a no-nonsense gentleman type pro if any. Dig up the filmography.
Sabrina, picnic, Breezy, Bumper Morgan, ...
@@laurastewart3486 Great choices! I may have to rewatch Sabrina this week! I’ve never seen Bumper Morgan/Blue Knight.
@@TracesofHollywood thank you. Yes, I forgot the name of the wambaugh film , Blue knight. There was also a co-star role with the Duke, some western I forgot the name of.
@@laurastewart3486 That might be The Horse Soldiers. Love a good western!
You need to use a drone.
Looks like an Eichler house, is it ?
@@Philippe.C.A-R I can only find references to it being built/designed by Joe Pawling and Curbed says the architect was John Porter Clark. Tippi Hedren also lived here from 1990-96.
Powers was his mistress....
Chronic alcoholism really ravaged his looks....
@@stevendaniel8126 I always appreciate corrections so thank you! I believe she said in an interview that she had tried calling him daily for almost a week and it turned out he was dead in his Santa Monica condo the whole time since he had become such a loner. Sad end to such a great talent.
Holden and Powers had broken up.some time before his death.He had reassumed his relationship with an old friend.Pat Staufer who called the building administrator where Holden was in Santa Monica tocheck on him since she couldnt contact him.
@@Graciela-dx6if Great info, much appreciated!
Im glad you liked.

@@paulietteburnett7270 What is that?
Rattlesnake haven
You know the area well it sounds like! Definitely lots of rattlers out on the edge of town here.
Powers and Holden were never married!
Yes I have been corrected on that, thank you too for taking the time, I appreciate it!
@@TracesofHollywood you are welcome.
