Bob Siler sent us some terrific pictures of the exterior of Samuel Goldwyn’s home in Beverly Hills, the pool is just wonderful.  You can see the gift from Bob and the homes of some of her other friends, if you go to the Tour of Mabel’s Los Angeles and visit her friends.

In the 2008 Photos of Mabel, I added a photo from her Goldwyn film “A Perfect 36”  I was still thinking about her 115th Birthday and realized that she died just 3 months after she became 36, so Mabel became a “Perfect 36…she wouldn’t be older no matter how many years pass.
