Marion Davies was an actress in the 1920's, but is most known for her affair with Newspaper Tycoon William Hearst . He was married for the entirety of their relationship, due to the fact that a divorce from his wife would be too costly. Upon further research their relationship seems quite strained (obviously), as he was quite controlling. Nevertheless, he built her this beach house in Santa Monica, which is absolutely amazing. It still stands and is currently used as a beach club.
She was known to have large parties and entertained Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and Mary Pickford. Shown below is a picture from a birthday party with a circus theme attended by (left to right) Irene Dunne, William Randolph Hearst, Bette Davis, Louella Parsons and Mary Brian.
