Hollywood Hills West home of late screenwriter Barbara Turner lists for $3 million
The longtime home of actress and writer Barbara Turner, who wrote the screenplay for the Jackson Pollock biopic “Pollock,†among others, is on the market in Hollywood Hills West for slightly under $3 million.
Set up from the streets in the Outpost Estates, the 1920s Spanish Revival retains its vintage curb appeal. A brick-lined path leads up to the front door that is decorated in delicate trim and flanked by a pair of ornamental hedges. Sets of picture windows with matching black shutters offer a visual contrast to the white stucco siding.
Within the 4,439 square feet of interior space is a two-story foyer dressed in wood paneling. The rich woodwork continues in the library, which has a large bay window, built-ins and one of four fireplaces.
A formal living room, a great room, an updated country-style kitchen, a breakfast area and a service porch are also within the home. The dining room, painted a grayish blue, has a view of the rear garden.
Upstairs, an oversized master suite has a fireplace, a library and a dressing room. There are five bedrooms and six bedrooms in all.
Outdoors, brick pathways wind through one-third-acre grounds filled with mature trees, lawns and a vine-wrapped pavilion. Steps lead up to a swimming pool and spa at the rear of the property.
Bret Parsons, architectural division director for Coldwell Banker Southern California, holds the listing.
Turner, who died in April at age 79, is the mother of actresses Jennifer Jason Leigh and Mina Badi. She frequently collaborated with her first husband, actor Vic Morrow, and was also married to prolific Iranian director Reza Badiyi, who developed opening montages for such TV shows as “Hawaii Five-O†and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.â€
She was nominated for Primetime Emmys for the TV movies “Hemingway & Gellhorn†(2012) and “The War Between the Tates†(1977).
