Ann Harding's home is located at the top of Pyramid Drive in the Hollywood Hills, off Woodrow Wilson Drive. Rudy Valley purchased the home years after Mr. Warner had it built for Miss Harding. Rudy tried, unsuccessfully, to have the street renamed "Rue de Vallee." The building in the front housed Vallee's huge wine cellar and extensive personal memorabilia collection. It included photographs, records and sheet music from his career, as well as sketches and notes made by John Barrymore, W.C. Fields and others on the wall near his pay phone. The roof was a full tennis court. After Rudy Vallee's death, Arsenio Hall purchased the home, which is on the highest peak in the area. The long driveway ended at a turntable which, when a button was pressed, turned automobiles around and headed them down the hill. Arsensio did extensive remodeling.
