Story summary
Jane Fonda's former home in Hollywood Hills, where she lived during her marriage to French film director Roger Vadim and later with political activist Tom Hayden, is now on the market for $1.99 million. Built in 1924, this five-bedroom Mediterranean Revival-style villa at 2001 Holly Hill Terrace was under CIA surveillance when Fonda spoke out against the Vietnam War. The agency intercepted and opened mail sent to her from the Soviet Union, including four letters addressed to her while she resided there. This property is now seen as an affordable option in a typically expensive area, with its history reflecting Cold War-era espionage activities.
