A Vesper Martini, shaken not stirred, of course, would be the appropriate cocktail to sip on the terrace of Villa Roc Fleuri, a lavish mansion cleaving to a rocky hillside above the Mediterranean Sea that once belonged to the original James Bond, the late Oscar-winning legend Sean Connery. The refurbished 1930s spread referred to locally as the Bond Villa sits at the base of Mount Boron in Nice with private, gated access to the shore. And, in Southern California, in the serene Rustic Canyon area of Pacific Palisades, a 1950s home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's architect son Lloyd Wright for Oscar-winning film composer Alfred Newman was later owned and updated by yet another Academy Award winner, Diane Keaton. |
