Helen Mirren Selling $13M Hollywood Estate Built for Silent Movie Star Who Weren’t So Silent
KEY POINTS
- •Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford have owned a historically significant Hollywood Hills estate since the 1980s.
- •The estate, built in 1910 for silent film star Dustin Farnum, is currently listed for nearly $13 million.
- •The property features seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a speakeasy-style bar, and views of Hollywood Boulevard.
Helen Mirren and husband Taylor Hackford have been holding onto their Hollywood Hills mansion since the ‘80s, a $13 million estate that once housed Dustin Farnum, lovingly dubbed 'the Clark Gable of the silent screen'—you know, before talkies ruined his voice and possibly his mood. The listing has been playing price-cut limbo, going from $16.99 million in 2023 down to $12.995 million in 2026, because if there’s one tradition richer than Hollywood, it’s negotiating cash for a mansion with 7 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and a wood-paneled study with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Nicholson portraits silently judging passing guests. Oh, and it has a speakeasy-style bar, because nothing says 'quiet retreat' like a party hiding behind hidden doors.
