Did a tiny bit of snooping. Natalie moved into the house with her two sons following her divorce from Buster Keaton. The house had been bought for her by her sister Constance Talmadge in 1932. But I'm guessing the tikification of the place followed Natalie's death. I don't know if her sons owned it or sold it after she died.

The Talmadge sisters (there was also a Norma Talmadge) were quite famous actresses in their day. There's even a community named for them in San Diego. My mom lives there, near Natalie Street.
