Judy Garland was a star in the golden age of Hollywood who got her start in vaudeville. She appeared in classic movies such as The Wizard of Oz and Meet Me In St. Louis. She received Oscar nominations for her work in A Star Is Born and Judgment at Nuremberg.
In 1938 Judy was just 16 years old but that didn’t stop her from making a grown-up purchase. She bought a stunning home in Bel Air, California, designed by Wallace Neff, a famous celebrity architect of the time. He also built homes for other stars of the day, like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Judy lived at the two-story residence with her mother and sisters. Let take a look inside the home where Judy most likely practiced singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
Besides its famous former resident, the home has its own prestige. It was featured in many publications, including Architectural Digest. It is truly a show-stopping masterpiece.
It sits on over two acres of perfectly manicured landscaping. The house is private and serene, hidden behind hedges. It is located near the Bel-Air Country Club. If you want some culture, you can visit the neighborhood museum, the Getty.
