Does anyone know where Edd Byrnes lived in the Hollywood Hills?

The reason I want to know is because my eye keeps wandering to the flat-roofed ultra-modern house next door - - - - >


A closer look

detail

If you look closely you can see a rather precarious spiral staircase descending, among some vines, to the pool area.....The building looks like something you might see in a James Bond movie.

It would be fun to see if the structure is still there but first we need to figure out where Mr. Byrnes lived.


Here's the info. with the photograph.



. . .but no mention of an address.

Here's a little info, e_r:

Quoth Photoplay, August 1960 issue, p. 19:

"Edd Byrnes tells me he can now furnish the house he bought in Cold Water [sic] Canyon before his five-month strike against Warner Brothers. 'I was too broke during that time to think about furniture,' Edd grinned. 'Now I'm in and out of shops every minute I have away from the set.' 'And who is helping you?' I asked. 'Asa Maynor,' he confessed. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Asa one day graced the house of 'Kookie' as Mrs. Edd Byrnes."
