The William O. Jenkins House, Norma Desmond’s house in Sunset Boulevard (1950). At the time of filming, the house was occupied by one of J. Paul Getty’s (five) former wives. As a condition of rental, she requested that Paramount Studios build her a new swimming pool, which they did, and promptly dropped William Holden's “corpse” into it.
