This Revamped $11 Million L.A. Home Dates Back to Hollywood’s Golden Age

Before it sold last year to a developer and underwent an extensive remodel, the 1950s residence was occupied for almost seven decades by Tinseltown power couple Stanley Rubin and Kathleen Hughes. 

Throughout their lengthy lives together, Golden-Age Hollywood couple Stanley Rubin and Kathleen Hughes racked up many accomplishments between them—he as a prolific film/TV writer and producer who helped run the Writers and Producers guilds and garnered one of the first Emmys ever awarded, and she as an actress who’s probably best known for her turns in the cult film It Came from Outer Space and as Henry Blake’s wife Lorraine in M*A*S*H.

Rubin passed away back in 2014 at age 96, and early last year, Hughes sold their longtime marital home in the coveted Bird Streets area of Los Angeles for nearly $5 million. Now the Hollywood Hills property high above the Sunset Strip has once again popped up for sale after a thorough remodel with a $6 million jump in price, asking a speck under $11 million. The listing is held by Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California.
