Good morning Ms. Williams,
I am the owner of 900 Airole Way in Bel-Air having purchased the home in 2005 from Lindsay Buckingham who had owned the property since 1980. I read, with some amusement, on your website, The Maybelline Story, that your great-uncle's, Tom Lyle, former home at 900 Airole Way, which he owned from 1950 to 1976, currently belonged to the actress Jennifer Aniston. Please let me correct you: Jennifer Aniston purchased 901 Airole Way from Robert Maguire in February 2011. The property at 901 Airole is not the same as the property at 900 Airole Way. Having apparently spent time at 900 Airole Way during your childhood, I'm surprised you would make this mistake.

When the Hollywood Freeway took Tom Lyle Williams, beloved Villa Valentino, in the Hollywood Hills, he bought this private estate, (second to top of the hill in Bel Air,) in 1950. His friend, Arnold Anderson's brother was the Architect who built this ultra modern steel and glass home with sweeping 180 degree views of Los Angeles. The view was even more spectacular at night with all the twinkling lights of the city.
