That's a strange coincidence that you should post a picture of Pola Negri - I found a postcard of one of her houses at the end of last week. When I went looking for more info, I came across a few more postcards. I'm not sure of the order in which she resided in these homes, but here's the first one I found. So far I haven't located a more precise address than Hollywood.

The second is a colonial style house. According to
allanellenberger.com, Pola lived in this house during her relationship with Rudolph Valentino in 1925-1926. One of Pola's mini biographies on IMDb.com says "Pola made a spectacle of herself when she threw herself on the late Rudolph Valentino's coffin". There's more info about the house at that link, including the address at 621 North Beverly Boulevard, Beverly Hills. The house is still standing.

That page at allanellenberger.com also has a slightly smaller version of the picture below, which they identify as the backyard of the house above in the 1920s.

As per the description, this is the garden of her home in Beverly Hills. It could be the house above, or it could be the one below.

This is her other home that's listed as Beverly Hills. The Ebay seller posted the reverse of the postcard, but it only contained the publisher's name, so there's no address or date.
