Very interesting, Scott Charles. I don't doubt you for a minute.

but W.C. Fields no doubt lived at numerous addresses over the years.


This photograph shows a house in Bel Air. [no address / approximately 1930s]


huntington archives

"Residence of W.C. Fields, Bel Air, Cal. X104" and "Brookwell Photo"--text, on negative. Title transcribed from negative; date devised by cataloger based on historical operation of Brookwell Photo."




And yet. . .

Priceypads has a listing for "The W.C. Fields Estate" at 2015 De Mille Drive. (below Griffith Observatory)


I've also read that W.C. Fields lived in Toluca Lake (he hated the gulls) and rented a 7 acre ranch in Encino. So far, I haven't come across a house in the area that you pointed out, Scott Charles.

I'm afraid it will take a W.C. Fields scholar to figure all this out correctly.
