Description	Exterior view looking toward the Pacific Ocean of a beach front home once occupied by Cary Grant. There is a picture of Cary Grant in a circle in the upper right corner.
Historical Background	In the early twentieth century, the Santa Monica Land and Water Company began to sell lots on the beach to the general public, and residential neighborhoods began to spring up along Santa Monica Bay. As the 1920s motion picture industry created newly-wealthy movie stars, producers, and directors, Hollywood celebrities began buying homes on the beach. Santa Monica quickly became known as "The Gold Coast" for its richly extravagant residences. 1038 Ocean Front in Santa Monica was built by Los Angeles architect Paul Roe Crawley for the silent film actress Norma Talmadge. The Norman style home was completed in the summer of 1929. In the mid 1930s, Talmadge sold the house to Cary Grant, where he lived for many years with actor Randolph Scott. Scott later moved out after Grant married Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton.
