Take a look inside Helen Mirren's $13 million Los Angeles mansion, first built for a silent film star 116 years agoNEWS | 13 August 2026It's not every day you get to peek inside a piece of Hollywood history.
This Hollywood Hills mansion, currently owned by Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford, was built in 1910 for Dustin Farnum, "the Clark Gable of the silent screen," according to his obituary.
Since then, it's changed hands relatively few times, especially by Los Angeles' standards. It's been called home by journalist and film producer Mark Hellinger, actor and one of the first female executive producers in TV history, Gail Patrick, and now Mirren and Hackford, who've owned the property since the '80s. It was also used as a filming location for the show Patrick is most famous for producing, "Perry Mason."
"This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of the Hollywood Hills' most historically significant and private estates," said listing agent Jonas Heller. "Properties of this caliber, with such a rich legacy and expansive acreage, seldom become available."
The gated estate, which has a total of seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, is on the market for $12,995,000. It has undergone a few price cuts over the years, as Mirren and Hackford relocated from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe. It was listed for sale in 2023 at $16.99 million and then saw subsequent price cuts in 2024, 2025, and 2026, per Zillow.
