Year of Jane Russell: Day 361

Jane’s mid-Century Modern home was designed by Kemper Nomland Jr., but Jane worked closely with him along the way. The decor had an East Asian influence which she was very interested in during the late 1940s.

There’s only a few days left in the Year of Jane Russell, so I thought I would use them posting pics of my favorite Jane subject: her mid-Century modern home in the hills above Sherman Oaks. Enjoy!
