Lupita Tovar’s Bel-Air haunt returns to the market at $9.995 million

The longtime home of the late Mexican American actress Lupita Tovar and her husband, talent agent and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer producer Paul Kohner, has come back on the market in Bel-Air for $9.995 million. The Spanish two-story was listed last summer at $11.9 million.

Kohner bought the house for $17,500 in 1936, according to reports at the time, several years after they married. Apparently these people didn’t move around a lot.

Sheltered by mature trees, the tiled roof and whitewashed brick house dates to 1935. The 3,550 square feet of living space contain six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a formal dining room, an office/den and a living room with a fireplace.

A covered porch lined with decorative tile sits off the front entrance. A paver patio with an outdoor fireplace, a swimming pool, lawns and lush landscaping complete the grounds of more than an acre.

Tovar, who died in 2016 at 106, appeared in more than 30 films including “The Invader” with Buster Keaton and “South of the Border” with Gene Autry. She starred in the Spanish-language version of the 1931 film “Dracula.”
