A piece of Hollywood history is looking for its next owner.<\/p>\n

Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren and her husband, acclaimed director Taylor Hackford, are putting their longtime Hollywood Hills estate<\/a> on the market for $12 million, offering buyers a rare chance to own a property steeped in more than a century of entertainment history.<\/p>\n

The couple first listed the property in 2021 for $18.5 million before reducing the asking price.<\/p>\n

Spanning 6.5 acres, the approximately 10,199-square-foot compound is far more than a luxury home<\/a> \u2014 it is a surviving piece of Old Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Built in 1911 for silent film star Dustin Farnum, the estate has passed through the hands of several notable figures over the decades, including film producer and journalist Mark Hellinger and actress-producer Gail Patrick, who served as executive producer of the original “Perry Mason” television series.<\/p>\n

Vesta Home staged the interiors with a design that walks the line between nostalgia and modern luxury, honoring the home\u2019s cinematic past without turning it into a museum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deep silk rugs, rich green tones, warm wood accents, vintage furnishings and oversized black-and-white Hollywood photography fill the grand-scale rooms, creating spaces that feel both glamorous and inviting.<\/p>\n

“This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of the Hollywood Hills’ most historically significant and private estates,” said listing agent Jonas Heller. “Properties of this caliber, with such a rich legacy and expansive acreage, seldom become available.”<\/p>\n

The Hollywood actress<\/a> is known for her roles in “The Queen,” “1923,” “MobLand” and more. She previously told Fox News Digital what surprised her about working with co-stars Pierce Brosnan and Harrison Ford.<\/p>\n

“I think with both of them, as I say, it’s the way they behave on set, professionally,” Mirren said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Harrison would sit around<\/a> and chat with the cowboys,” she added. “And it was cold, it wasn’t comfortable. He didn’t go off to his trailer and sit in a nice, warm, comfortable trailer. He would sit in the cold with everybody else. You know, chatting to the guys, for example.”<\/p>\n

“And Pierce<\/a> \u2014 Pierce just is so great. And you know what the other thing is great about them both? They both love what they do. And I’ve noticed, in my profession, a lot of older actors kind of get grumpy. Actresses don’t, but actors do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They get grumpy, and I think, what the \u2014 excuse my language \u2014 f— do you have to be grumpy about? You’re working, you’ve been paid a lot of money, everyone’s looking after you. Well, what do you got to be grumpy about? Harrison and Pierce are so not grumpy. They’re just \u2014 they love what they do. They’re positive about it. It’s what they do, and they love it.”<\/p>\n

Mirren has won five Emmy Awards, an Academy Award and a Tony Award. She has also won four BAFTAs and three Golden Globes.<\/p>\n
