There it is (above), the famous Pink Palace at 10100 Sunset Blvd. in Beverly Hills.
Jayne lived there with husband Mickey Hargitay, a body builder and contractor.
Most of the rooms were pink, with a few accents of black or purple. That's Jayne on the balcony overlooking the living room.
Here (above) the wall appears to be painted white, maybe to fit with the white piano. It actually saw a lot of use. Jayne was classically trained on both piano and violin. You can hear her play on the net. She's not bad.
Above, the famous pink bathroom, done in pink shag and terrycloth. You could dry off just by wiggling against the wall.
I like to think that after a nice bath Jayne relaxed in an angora bikini.
Or maybe she didn't. Five kids must've kept her pretty busy. Here's the nursery. It's the way I imagine Liberace must have spent his childhood.
Here (above) she reclines on her black silk bed spread surrounded by...guess what...more pink! But what the heck is that white mist on the floor? Did she have a fog machine in the bedroom? If she did, my admiration knows no bounds.
It must have been hard for Mickey to live around pink all the time.
No doubt there were times when Mickey just had to escape from all that pink....escape into his own room where everything was...red. Quilted red, too...even the ceiling!
This (above) is the way I'd like to think all of Beverly Hills used to be, but maybe only Jayne and Liberace lived up to the ideal. Did they visit each other and compare notes?
Outdoors, the famous heart-shaped pool.
I'm willing to bet the barbecue area was pink too, even though it appears blue in the photo.
I don't know why, but I'd like to think that Peter Lorre and his family lived next door. Can you imagine him at Jayne's back door, borrowing a cup of sugar?
