An Evening to Remember: A Night at the Dinah Shore Estate

Step into the glamour and history of Palm Springs at 432 Hermosa, one of the desert’s most iconic Midcentury Modern estates. Designed in 1964 by Donald Wexler for actress Dinah Shore, this celebrated home helped ignite the city’s celebrity allure and remains a landmark of Hollywood’s golden era. Today, under Leonardo DiCaprio’s ownership, the estate continues to capture international attention while retaining its original elegance.

Set on 1.3 acres in Old Las Palmas, the property features sweeping mountain views, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a guesthouse, tennis casita and dramatic entertaining spaces, including a living room with grand piano, fireplace and cocktail bar.

Neighbors of this storied home once included Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Dean Martin, Liberace and Elvis Presley. Stepping inside feels like walking into a living piece of Palm Springs history.

Throughout the evening, acclaimed pianist Joel Baker will perform live on the grand piano in the estate’s dramatic living room, filling the space with timeless music that perfectly captures the spirit of Palm Springs’ golden era.
