‘Hill Street Blues’ actress Barbara Bosson’s 90-year-old LA home on the market for $16.5M
Late “Hill Street Blues” actress Barbara Bosson’s Los Angeles home is on the market for $16.5 million.
The 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom home, which sits on more than an acre of land in the Pacific Palisades less than three miles from the ocean, was built in 1933 by famed architects Morgan, Walls & Clements, who also designed the area’s El Capitan and Wiltern theaters, according to listing agency Douglas Elliman.
Bosson lived at the home for 40 years until her death in February at 83, according to the New York Post.
