By the way, I think that the di Frasso house was in fact at 913 North Bedford Drive, and that MD lived there maybe only during 1935. MD certainly moved to the 822 North Roxbury Drive in the early '30s (1931?), but it was not the house she rented from di Frasso. I don't have any strong support for this, but 913 N. Bedford is the only address on the <a href="http://movielanddirectory.com/tour-location.cfm?location=52082" rel="nofollow">Movieland Directory</a> with MD, di Frasso, and Iturbi's names. Also, 913 N. Bedford is mentioned as the address of the home that MD rented from di Frasso in book called <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=gF1Ztwq1Jj4C&lpg=PA461&dq=%22913%20north%20bedford%22%20%22marlene%20dietrich%22&pg=PA461#v=onepage&q=%22913%20north%20bedford%22%20%22marlene%20dietrich%22&f=false" rel="nofollow"><i>Joseph P.
