The actress's hip museum of a house in the Hollywood Hills, an ode to the obsessive joy of collecting, is as charming, imaginative, original and fun as the actress-author herself
....Originally, the house belonged to Robert Armstrong, the ship's captain in King Kong, who uttered the last line in the movie, It was beauty killed the beast,' " explains Carrie Fisher, documenting the uniquely star-studded pedigree of her spectacular three-acre spread high in the Hollywood Hills. "After that, Bette Davis lived here for a while before it was bought in 1933 by Edith Head, who did most of the major re-build. When I moved in, 12 years ago, it was my furniture that made the call. I had so much stuff, I had to live in a place where it wanted to go," she says of the warren of rooms with audaciously oversize leather 1930s club chairs, picked up in a Paris marché aux puces, the Biedermeier low and side tables, the whimsical offerings of folk art and Indian rugs, the stained-glass windows and doors. "The furniture was definitely in charge of where I ended up. If you can say anything about the house, it's always been playful."

Her mother owned one of the most amazing collection of costumes from Hollywood history out there. Sold it a few years ago (avoiding possible probate taxes most likely) for tens of millions. Google it.

I didn’t know she had a 12 year old daughter. Bless her heart.

I love the old adobe homes. Most of them are gone now.

I guess location is everything. Doesn’t look like much of a house to me.

Fisher:
I was once told you could tell what you wanted from your life by looking at the walls of your bedroom, says Fisher. If this is the case, Im in a lot of trouble. She refers to the selection of paintings depicting children
as a difficult and costly collection to increase.
3 kids and still sending one of them money monthly!
