HOMES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS - LOVELY LADIES EDITION

Since the start of 2021, I've been publishing a series of articles that feature the homes of the rich and famous (click here for the article focused on properties previously owned by actors, and here for the article focused on properties previously owned by musicians).
