LOS ANGELES, CA – AUGUST 1: Engelbert Humperdinck at his residence next to his heart shaped pool on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California on August 1, 1995. Humperdinck’s residence is at 10100 Sunset Boulevard. The 8 bedroom, 13 bathroom Spanish Colonial-style house was originally built in the 1920s for actor, bandleader Rudy Vallee. Jayne Mansfield and Mr. Universe Micky Hargitay purchased the estate in 1961 for $74,000. The house was given the moniker "The Pink Palace" after Mansfield had it painted a soft shade of pink and added a heart shaped pool. The “Pink Palace” was at times owned or rented by Mama Cass, Ringo Starr and finally by Englebert Humperdinck. A favorite stop for tour buses for nearly half a century, this mansion at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Carolwood Drive is where the '60s blonde starlet herself would pop out on her pink balcony and wave to tourists almost daily before Mansfield’s death in a car accident near New Orleans in 1967.
