    New Book Offers Look at Original Wallace Neff Homes Owned by Diane Keaton, Reese Witherspoon and More July 13, 2020 7:00 AM PDT 7/13/2020 by Degen Pener Anthony Barcelo/Hilton & Hyland As houses by the famed architect continue to trade at big numbers, a new tome shows his original designs. It’s been a busy 12 months for Wallace Neff trading. In June, designer Serge Azria plunked down $16.5 million for a 1920s Spanish home in Bel Air co-designed by Neff and John Byers and once owned by Diane Keaton. In May, Ry Cooder paid $2.5 million ($300,000 above asking) for another Spanish home built by the architect-to-the-stars of Hollywood’s golden age. In 2019, Bill Bell, an heir to the Another World soap opera fortune, and wife Maria sold a Bel Air estate, built in the 1930s for producer Sol Wurtzel, for $31 million. Born into one of the families that founded map publishers Rand McNally, Neff, who died in 1982 at 87, is known as a creator of what’s called the California style, a mix of Spanish and broadly Mediterranean influences. Neff’s most famous commission was renovating Pickfair for Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. into a grand Tudor estate. Nick Springett/Rodeo RealtyThis Neff was sold in June by Rodeo Realty’s Josh Flagg to Serge Azria. Now, a new book, Wallace Neff (Angel City Press, $60) — written by real estate agent Bret Parsons, architect Marc Appleton and design expert Eleanor Schrader — includes the original Architectural Digest stories that ran when 28 Neff homes were built.

  • A Surgeon to the Stars Has Revealed the Most Desirable Chin Shapes - and the Most Popular Ones May Take You by Surprise
    A surgeon to the stars has revealed the most desirable chin shapes - and the most popular ones may take you by surprise. According to Harley Street's Dr De Silva, Scarlett Johansson, 32, tops the list with her distinctive heart or V- shaped chin, and Angelina Jolie, 41, with her smooth jawline, comes in second place. Dr De Silva, from the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in West London, also notes that celebrity-inspired 'chinplants' are the fastest growing plastic surgery trend in the UK. Here, he reveals the eight most desirable chin shapes, so which one are you? 1. Heart-shaped/V-shaped chin - Scarlett Johansson This is the shape desired most of all by women when seeking changes to the shape of their chin. Dr Julian De Silva said: 'This slightly V-shaped or heart-shaped chin is the most desirable. You can see its shape very clearly in Scarlett Johansson's beautiful face.' A heart shape like Scarlett's is the shape desired most of all by women when seeking changes to the shape of their chin, according to Dr De Silva 2. Square chin - Angelina Jolie This type of chin is also considered to be beautiful and striking. Completely square at the bottom, it suits both sexes. Dr De Silva said: 'This is the Gold Standard of chins and the one I am most often asked to replicate along with the V-shaped chin like Scarlett's. 'Angelina has a beautifully proportioned square chin and a profile that many woman desire. Her face is completely free from blemishes or wrinkles, too - remarkable in a woman of 41.' Angelina Jolie's square chin is also considered to be beautiful and striking.
