Profiling Celebrity Gardeners

Harold Lloyd’s 16-acre Greenacres: the Estate that Laughter Built Harold Lloyd is best remembered today for the iconic scene where he dangles from clock hands high above the street in Safety Last (1923). The American film actor and producer was active 1914-47 in both silents and talkies. He was the highest paid movie star of the 1920s, appearing in more than 500 films and made at least 200 himself. Lloyd was famous for his silent comedies that included “thrill sequences.” He also knew his trees, personally choosing and collecting all 500 for his 16-acre landscaped grounds at 1225 Benedict Canyon Drive, Beverley Hills.
