Darren Walker may be new to Los Angeles as he takes the helm of Anonymous Content as president and CEO, but he’s had long relationships with key players in town for years, given his distinguished career in philanthropy and nonprofits.
Sally Field is one of those people. So Walker was excited to learn when he took the role at Anonymous Content at the start of this year that Field was a client. And Field was there on Wednesday evening to cheer on her friend as Walker toasted Anonymous Content’s Emmy nominees this year and showed off his famous new digs at a historic Los Angeles address.
Walker delighted the intimate crowd of a few dozen friends and associates with the kismet story of how he came to purchase the sui generis, 4,400-square foot property designed as the personal residence of legendary Los Angeles architect Paul Revere Williams.
Much of the home is outfitted with original fixtures and an array of bespoke touches that the renowned architect handcrafted for his family residence. The home is in a historic neighborhood that reflected post-World War II Los Angeles’ embrace of mid-century modern building design and mid-century, West Coast modern attitudes about race, class and equality.
