Sunday is Fun-Day! Woohoo! The details I have on this photo are...

The House He Built For His Rose...

I hesitated in posting this, because some jerk(s) decided to tear it down - breaks my heart, really. But it’s such a testament to the love Danny had for his Rose Marie, that he built her such a beautiful mansion. I have many more photos, it was a magnificent home, on 2.5 acres of prime Beverly Hills real estate, but I only wanted to show the outer wall, & the entrance. 

You could only build a one story residence, but he got around that by building a lower level you can only see from the back, so the front is in compliance. Built in 1970, demolished approximately 50 years later. 

‘Villa Rosa’ on one side of the gates, on the other side, 'Beatus qui intellegit cur natus sit.' Blessed is he who understands why he was born. 

Truly.

Wow, that face barely changed over the years! I think he was about 15 here, & look at those hairy calves! And the biceps! He had the body!

*fanning self* Lord, have mercy!
