I have a photo of them on the couch in the living room with the big picture window letting in this diffused light. Wonderful. Gibbons' brother Eliot was married to the costume and fashion designer Irene, about which I'm currently writing. Their house must have had its interior designed by Cedric as it had the same deco style and feel.Christian Esquevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591223218619839288.post-68063879775063349432009-02-16T08:02:00.000-05:002009-02-16T08:02:00.000-05:00You can never better a black and white image - in ...You can never better a black and white image - in either portraits or interiors.

Thank you for sharing this - it's one thing to look at these spaces in a two-dimensional image but to actually be in the house and inhabit the rooms - witnessing the scale, proportions, and progression - that is something else entirely! Now I must google Gregory Peck's son - he must be gorgeous!

I was working for Mirabella magazine then and we rented it. It was an absolute blast to spend a few days getting to know the place!! It is as you say a remarkable and fantastically sculptural place...a fantasy of B/W style just like the movies. Every thing was intact... the hot and cold water for bathroom sinks was operated by foot pedals. That great pivoting front door (that we see so often now) is like the first tip off that big ideas await within. The living room is a really, really beautiful space- kind of perfect. And the property with its Tennis Pavilion and sunken court was all appropriately detailed in the same high style manner. I forgot all about it until your lecture last night. Oh, and one of the models/ young star on our shoot was<BR/>Gregory Peck’s son, which seemed so fitting- what ever happened to him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
