Summary:

Architect Edla Muir was a pioneer of early mid-century modern style, designing homes for Hollywood's rich and famous, including stars like Shirley Temple and Barbra Stanwick. Unconventional for the time, Muir began her design training as a teenager, later becoming principal of her own successful firm before she was 40. Her prolific career spanned more than thirty years and the design of around 170 houses. Architecture historian Teresa Grimes tells us about this talented and driven California designer. Our storytellers share these astonishing women with us conversationally and unscripted; we fact-check afterwards and note any major discrepancies for accuracy.
