Angelina Jolie, the actress and filmmaker who has fueled the greatest Hollywood gossip stories of all time, is moving into a dramatic mansion owned by the late Cecil B. DeMille, who directed "The Greatest Show on Earth." Jolie's famous long-time romance, short-term marriage to Brad Pitt has fans wondering where she will live. She had homes all over the world, but she's recently dropped nearly $25 million to own the fabled Beaux Arts-style mansion in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles.Jolie filed for divorce last year only two years after the couple finally married.Top Ten Real Estate Deals speculates that the actress may have wanted to keep the couple's six children near Pitt or it was a decision by the couple's private divorce judge.The 2.1-acre property, the largest and highest lot in gated Laughlin Park, provides privacy. Views extend from the Griffith Observatory to the Pacific Ocean. DeMille acquired the property in 1916, and lived there until his death in 1959. An estate once owned by Charlie Chaplin became DeMille's studio office.The street was later named after DeMille.The Beaux Arts-style mansion has 11,000 square feet of living space. Beyond a curved stairway in the foyer are a formal living room with fireplace, mahogany-panelled dining room, library with custom floor-to-ceiling shelving.The kitchen has been updated with marble counters and a restored vintage range.There are six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.Other residents of Laughlin Park include Natalie Portman, Kristen Stewart and recent Oscar-winner Casey Affleck.Brett Lawyer, Branden Williams and Rayni Williams of Hilton & Hyland held the listing.
