| Summary |
Media mogul William Randolph Hearst commissioned one of the largest and most extravagant homes ever built. The centerpiece of an estate nearly half the size of Rhode Island, the 165-room mansion overlooks the California countryside from a hilltop high above the Pacific. This documentary takes a look at this extraordinary property and offers a rare glimpse into Hearst's storybook life. |
