Moorcrest

Moorcrest is a house in Beachwood Canyon, Los Angeles, California, United States. It was built for the utopian Krotona Colony in Beachwood Canyon and was designed by Marie Russak Hotchener, a female architect who designed several buildings for the Theosophist community; Moorcrest is thought of as one of her most famous pieces.

In the heart of the Hollywood Hills, Moorcrest was once the home of actor Charlie Chaplin, the first international star of the modern era. Later, Mary Astor, the star of The Maltese Falcon among many other films, sometimes lived at Moorcrest. Her parents, Mr and Mrs Otto Langhanke, owned the home for a time.

The house is now owned by actor Andy Samberg and his wife, musician Joanna Newsom.
