There’s plenty that’s already been said about stucco’s practicality and aesthetic. It hasn’t been used on homes since the times of ancient Greece and Egypt for nothing. So it’s common knowledge that everyday homeowners ring up stucco renovation specialists to stucco-ize their home’s exterior, either for weatherproofing or style on a regular basis. What we don’t hear as much about is the amount and caliber of celebrities who have applied stucco to their palatial mansions, for the same reasons that make stucco appealing to regular people. Upon scouring glamor websites for examples, it doesn’t take long to discover a few of the rich and famous celebs, from recent and bygone years, who have resided in stucco homes. Rod Stewart Even if your answer to Stewart’s 1979 hit “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” was a resounding, “No, Rod. Sorry,” you can’t deny that his estate pictured on The Enchanted Home is a sight to behold. Some people may dismiss yellow as a tacky color for a home’s exterior, but the designers of this house, which the source says Stewart owned as of 2011 – softened the blow yellow can have on the eyes with light blue window shutters. Matt LeBlanc The 46-year-old is best remembered for his portrayal of Joey of “Friends,” and not a whole lot else. But even if his acting career has slowed down in recent years, at least he can feel good about the stucco walls on his Pacific Palisades living quarters. The Zillow Blog reported on LeBlanc’s property in 2012, and didn’t quite make it clear whether he was living or renting, or a combination, at the time. But we can be sure he owned the building. Marilyn Monroe Arguably, no one has ever embodied the idea of a “movie star” quite as completely as Marilyn Monroe. Partially for that reason, as was first reported by Top Erati, the Spanish-style stucco home she lived in while she was still alive became something of a hot ticket when it hit the Brentwood, California real estate market in 2011. But it had been plucked up by some lucky, wealthy Marilyn fan as of 2013. Harold Lloyd These days, you’d have to be either a major movie buff, or getting on into your twilight years to recognize the name Harold Lloyd. Nonetheless, the silent film-era comedian clearly made a few bucks in his heyday. Documenting his trip to the lavish “Greenacres” estate in Beverly Hills, the writer of the My Love Of Old Hollywood fan blog reported seeing an Italian stucco exterior on the decreased Lloyd’s former home, somewhere at the end of a long path that passes a greenhouse, numerous garages, fountains, and other flashy status symbols. But if you’re thinking of remodeling the exterior of your home with stucco, or simply need existing stucco repaired, let your local stucco renovation experts know. They should be happy to help whether or not you’re a big celebrity.
