The Paramour in Silverlake, a 22,000-square-foot Mediterranean estate with 14 bedrooms, 60-foot pool, and industrial kitchen set on 4.5 acres of terraced hilltop with view of the Hollywood sign, a spooky round tower and weathered statues, had been inhabited by nuns "educating" fallen girls and now has it's own ghost.

The Mansion was built in 1923 by Edward Doheny's business partner Charles Canfield and originally named Crestmount. The mansion had been a gift to Canfield's daughter, Daisy, upon her marriage to the silent film star Antonio Moreno. Daisies mysterious death, her car plunged off Mulholland Drive, caused some people to speculate murder. The same people believe that the ghost of Paramour is Daisy trying to find peace.

A lot of people are in line to throw parties, or film movies, or shoot pictures, or get married, at Dana's house ever since Leonardo DiCaprio, Steve Miner, Bruce Weber, and Anne Heche, respectively, did the same. Dana who owns and develops properties in Silverlake describes some of the rooms as "kind of baronial decay-dispossessed rock star."

The beginnings of the Theatricum Botanicum stretch back to the early 1950s when Will Geer opened a theatre for Blacklisted actors and folk singers on his Topanga property. He also cultivated a large garden and, unable to find work in Hollywood, Will and his family earned a living by selling vegetables, fruit, herbs, and theatre. Famous for their Shakespeare productions they also offer a theater Academy, educational programs and concert from classic to Nina Hagen. The Theatricum offers a natural, rustic parklike setting, stages and a romantic creek running through. www.theatricum.com
