Brooke Hayward: Last News

“Everybody Thought We Were Crazy” (Ecco) by Mark Rozzo.The house, known as just “1712,” was owned by actress Brooke Hayward and her enfant terrible husband Hopper during eight tumultuous years of marriage, and filled to the brim with her found objects and his collection of contemporary art that, as Joan Didion remarked, “seems the result of some marvelous scavenger hunt.” The house “embodied the collision of Old Hollywood and New, of chic bohemia and burgeoning counterculture,” Rozzo writes, where you could as easily run into the Black Panthers as Jack Nicholson. Jane Fonda called it “a magical house.”But with magic sometimes comes monsters.1712 was also where Hopper unraveled.

Hayward, and its male counterpart, Hopper, since 2015. But now, after spending the past six years living on the top floor of her Upper East Side showroom, Marin is back on the West Coast. “I’m from LA,” Hopper says, “it’s my home town.”Hopper grew up in the glow of the silver screen, surrounded by the Hollywood royalty who surrounded her parents, the film stars Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward.
