She was a most<br />original woman who wasn&#39;t afraid to always<br />do her own thing-- assisted by some of greatest<br />talent in the world!Beverley Jackson[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-63759536241828829882011-06-25T22:53:10.705-07:002011-06-25T22:53:10.705-07:00I remember sitting in the front row, between Mrs Rosekrans and Nan Kempner when I accompanied Lynn Beyer to the auction of Michael Taylor’s goodies in what? 1987? Three of his heaviest-weight clients. And me. All the dealers and decorators in the rows further back were no doubt wondering what the hell I was doing up there. Mrs Beyer’s daughter was my friend and client, and I used to love to go to their warehouse to pluck treasures for the daughter’s houses from what had been put in storage while they built the Lautner house, into which almost nothing from their Holmby Hills house (the most beautiful house in Los Angeles,) went.<br /><br />Hi DIANE, I was just remarking to Franklin Kakies that there is no such thing as 6 degrees of separation, and then I found your blog among the ones he follows, so I was proven right. Wonderful blog. I want the Rosekrans house a lot.<br /><br />Best, MaxMAX KINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279682830233210583[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-31732298802942650332011-06-09T13:35:04.147-07:002011-06-09T13:35:04.147-07:00Ienjoyed your C Magazine article on Dodie Rosecrans last year and read it again recently as I was sorting through past issues.

The rooms are empty, no art, no decoration, just beautiful empty rooms. <br />Enjoy the photos--of an ephemeral moment.<br />cheers, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-25670759785070687192011-06-02T07:08:47.273-07:002011-06-02T07:08:47.273-07:00Now that Larry Ellison has purchased the home...will Dodie and Michaels restoration of a Jewel continue?

I could see her wearing Tony&#39;s jewelery. I would love to see features on her other homes.
