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.Today this property is owned by the Movie Star, Jennifer Aniston.

This property is the backdrop for many of the stories I write about in my book, The Maybelline Story.  Purchase a signed copy from me today, by just clicking on the picture of my book. 

Thank you to my cousin's Ann Louise Williams Corbett and Andrew Westhouse for sharing these wonderful pictures.

My Publicist Shannon Donnelly at LCO, will be sending Jennifer Aniston a copy of The Maybelline Story, with a personal note from me enclosed.

Jennifer Aniston's Bel Air Estate.The pristine 8,500-square foot four-bedroom was designed in 1965 by noted Los Angeles modernist architect A. Quincy Jones; 

I'm Sure A. Quincy Jones was the Architect of this beautiful ultra modern Estate, but he sure didn't build it in 1965, as this article states. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/24/jennifer-aniston home_n_1228537.html#s263709

The 3 acre Estate at 900 Airole Way, in Bel Air California, was owned by my great uncle Tom Lyle Williams, founder of the Maybelline Company, between 1950 until his death in 1976.  He built it after losing the Villa Valentino to the Hollywood Freeway in Eminant Domain.

  The property was sold after his death to Polish Film Director, Roman Polanski,

 then to Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, who remodeled it in 2005.

Jennifer Aniston, paid 21 million for the Estate in 2012.

Tom Lyle Williams, MAYBELLINE'S Golden Rule!

Tom Lyle Williams, shared his Pot of Gold, at the end of the Rainbow, with everyone in his life.

Click picture to enlarge.

This picture of Tom Lyle with his niece, Neppy Williams-Corbett and his nephew, Noel A. Williams wife, Jean, was taken in Tom Lyle's home in Bel Air in 1968, right after the Maybelline company was sold to Plough Inc.  Notice the 24K gold plated beams between the plate glass window. 

Here is a story about Tom Lyle's generosity, given to me by his great niece and Mabel and Chet's granddaughter, Linda Hughes.
 
When Maybelline was sold, each employee was given $1,000 for each year they worked for the company. Even those who hadn't been there a full year got $1,000. Tom Lyle's secretary Dorothy (aka Ducky) ended up with  $35,000 as did another secretary called Jimmie.  Jimmie called Mabel, to ask her to relay to TL how grateful she was that she could retire after she got her $30,000 check. At the time my parents had a bookstore and a former employee came in and told them he was bowled over to receive $8,000.  ( Dorothy also received one million dollars from her percentage in stock as well.)
   
Read more about Tom Lyle Williams, a secret American Icon and the great things he accomplished during his lifetime, in The Maybelline Story.
 
A cute story about Emery Shaver, Tom Lyle's lifetime partner of 50 years, given to me be his niece, Joyce Dennehy, (Mabel and Chet's, daughter.)
 
When my family drove from Chicago, to California, to visit Uncle Lyle, when we were kids:  One day it was rainy and my brother Tom was grumbling a bit about having nothing to do. He said to Emery, "don't you have an indoor swimming pool?"   Emery's response was "no but I have an ingrown toenail."

I will be making Frances' Chocolate Icebox Desert tomorrow on The Morning Scramble, with Tonya Mock, on AZTV.  Check into the Maybelline Blog Sat for the video.  

Bill the Clenet will be making his way to the Santa Barbara Concours D' Elegance Sat. and will be shown on Sunday at the Polo Fields. Watch for video's of his adventure.
