LA QUINTA
Tucked along the southern edge of the La Quinta Resort is another former private residence designed by Gordon Kaufmann, this one crafted in 1927 for oil magnate William Graham and his wife, Eleanor. Known as La Casa, the charming abode served as a favorite retreat of Greta Garbo throughout her lifetime. Acquired by the hotel in the 1970s, the dwelling is currently used as a special events venue, but the screen legend is still said to frequent it on occasion from the great beyond. It was also there that Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner married his pick, Theresa Nist, in January 2024, before divorcing her just three months later.
