Home of the Week: In Beverly Hills, a Hollywood Regency readies for another star turn

Marjorie Lord, the actress and philanthropist known for her role as Danny Thomas’ television wife on “Make Room for Daddy,� lived for decades at this Beverly Hills residence designed by architect-to-the-stars John Elgin Woolf.

A classic example of the Hollywood Regency style, the 1962-built home displays an elegant touch, with such features as scaled formal rooms, web-patterned wood ceilings and the original Pullman entry doors. A recent restoration by Los Angeles-based design firm Marmol Radziner has polished the showplace to a fine sheen.
