Maybelline Heir, Bill Williams, Palm Springs Estate, Casa de Guillermo's, was the backdrop for many movies and TV shows in the 1970s

My father, wanted an estate where he could retreat from the world and gracefully grow old with Gloria.  Casa de Guillermo's was the ultimate Sanctuary in the desert.
Here are a few pictures of its stunning pool.

The city of Palm Springs chose Casa de Guillermo's
for their map - a Tourist's first impression. 

The estate was used in 1975 for the film Goodbye
 Norma Jean

Most of the time it was a quiet Sanctuary, a retreat
 where my father and Gloria relaxed.

Billy the Kid discovers California in 1935.

After traveling from Chicago, across country to California, and finally seeing, Sunshine, Palm Trees and Tom Lyle's Villa Valentino, there was no turning back.

Preston and Bill,

A dream come true for Billy the Kid, a real horse and space to ride at his aunt and uncle's ranch in California.

All this was a first for my dad, but nothing was more life changing then seeing the California coastline and swimming in the deep blue ocean, in San Clemente, with his cousins Bill and Arvis Stroh.

Stay tuned, more to come tomorrow.

 Also, I will be making Mabel, and Eva's. old fashioned deserts tomorrow, on Arizona TV, and posting the show on the blog this week with the recipes.
