More gorgeous houses of the stars! I wonder how many of these still exist and look the same after all these years. Thanks for all the Hollywood memories these past weeks, LV!

Maureen said...

How cool! I was always a huge fan of old movies and movie stars and these brought back memories of nights when I would stay up late on summer vacation watching all the old movies.

Very interesting post cards.
It strikes me that movie stars probably feel that they need much bigger homes these days. Everyone does I guess.

Love the vintage postcards. I have the one of the ranch that Clark Gable and Carole Lombard shared. Lovely!

The Decorative Dreamer said...

Wow! Those are great postcards! I love the vintage look of them! I wonder is it still such a big thing to do tours that go by the stars homes anymore! Thanks for your kind comments again! Have a great day even if your vacation is over!

Ladies,
Clark Gable's home is still standing. It used to have many acres surrounding it with orange groves, but now has been subdivided into many lots and homes. I was at the edge of the gated drive and could get a glimpse of it several time on our trips to CA. I collect on Carole Lombard, so this was of particular interest to me!

Nancy said...

Beautiful cards! My mother-in-law loves to collect them. I even found some neat postcard albums for her to put them in. Have fun!

All lovely postcards and homes. It would be fun to really see these homes now.

Gayle said...

The colors in these postcards are gorgeous and pleasant to the eyes. Love the cameos of each star to put a face with the home.

Nice to meet you.

I love old postcards. I've never seen that specific type of postcard before. I have to say I like Shirley's house the best.
