Moorcrest is a house in Beachwood Canyon, Los Angeles, California, United States. It was built in 1921 for the Utopian Krotona Colony in Beachwood Canyon and was designed by Marie Russak, an architect who designed several buildings for the Theosophist community; Moorcrest is thought of as one of her most famous works.[2]
In the heart of the Hollywood Hills, Moorcrest was once the home of actor Charlie Chaplin. Later, Mary Astor, the star of The Maltese Falcon, sometimes lived at Moorcrest. Her parents, Otto and Helen Langhanke, owned the home for a time.[3]
As of 2014[update], the house is owned by musician Joanna Newsom and comedian Andy Samberg.[4][5]
