Uncover the secrets of this legendary estate

1143 Summit Drive – or 'Pickfair' – in Beverly Hills was the celebrated home of two of the biggest movie stars of the early 20th century. The stunning mansion hosted many of the illustrious names of its age, including Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin and Albert Einstein. A house with multiple lives, it went on to new owners who blamed termites and 'unwanted spirits' for its eventual fate.
