The real history of Pickfair mansion.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Winning Time season 2 sees Jerry Buss host an event at his Pickfair mansion, a lavish estate with a wild history from its notoriety in 1920s Hollywood. The HBO series follows the true story of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, kicking off after Jerry Buss buys the team.
Pickfair Mansion Was Notorious For 1920s Hollywood Parties Hosted By Movie Stars Mary Pickford & Douglas Fairbanks While the house was originally built for a lawyer as a country home, the property was sold to actor Douglas Fairbanks in 1919, which he would memorably share with his movie star wife Mary Pickford.
Jerry Buss Purchased Pickfair Mansion After Mary Pickford's Death In 1979 Pickfair sat empty for a short period of time after Mary Pickford’s death in 1979, with Lakers owner Jerry Buss purchasing the estate in 1980 for approximately $5.4 million . As depicted in HBO’s Winning Time, Jerry Buss lived at Pickfair for several years with his children, including future Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and his sons John and Jimmy.
