Take a look inside 7 lavish homes where Hollywood icons once lived

Mary Pickford, a famous silent movie star, and her husband, Douglas Fairbanks, bought this house in the 1920s. The house became a well known throughout the following decades as Pickford would often entertain famous guests from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

In the 1930s, it was expanded further, bringing the total number of rooms to 42, according to Variety.

Above, Pickford is pictured sitting in the living room on a Chinese damask silk divan.

Later in life, Pickford became a recluse, but that didn't mean she had to stop entertaining. She would invite famous people into her home and stay in her bedroom. The actress would then communicate with her guests via telephone.

The couple eventually split, but Pickford lived in the house until her death in 1979.

A year after her death, it was sold for $5.3 million. The home was torn down in 1990 — reportedly due to extensive damage — and another lavish property was built in its place.

This was not to be a regular home, however. The couple turned it into what became known as "The Pink Palace."

According to Architectural Digest, pink was Mansfield's favorite color since she was a child, so she boldly covered all 25 rooms with it.

The tub is shaped like a heart, a shape that was used repeatedly throughout the home.

Among the decor: pink curtains, a pink ceiling, and a large dead bear as a rug.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Mansfield lived in the home until her death in 1967. Later owners included Ringo Starr and Engelbert Humperdinck, but it was bought by developers in 2002 and demolished.

When Monroe and Miller married in 1956, she told him that she was done with Hollywood and wanted to live somewhere secluded. He took her to his two-story home in Roxbury, Connecticut, and turned it into their home.

Bought in 1962, this was the only house the actress ever owned, but it would be her last. The same year she bought the home, she tragically died inside of it.

She paid around $75,000 for the partially furnished, 23,200 square-foot property, according to a 1962 Los Angeles Times report. In 2017, it sold for $7.25 million, Curbed reported.

The house also has high-beamed ceilings and terra-cotta floors.

Elvis bought the home in Memphis, Tennessee, for $102,500 in 1957.

When Elvis had guests over, he'd have them wait in the living room until he was able to greet them.

Elvis decorated this room with furniture he found in a store in Memphis.

Every year, the estate has more than 500,000 visitors, who can walk through the home. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006.

Hepburn made this farmhouse in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, her retirement home in the '60s and called it La Paisible, which translates to "peaceful."

The bright yellow couches stand out against the white room.

Hepburn died in the house in 1993, aged 63.

The sitting room was designed by William Haines, who was known for making furniture that was unusually low to the ground.

The photo was taken in 1958.
