Around March, 1940, Carole and her
mother rented a small house at 1816 Prosser Ave. in southern Westwood, where
they lived with three dogs and, for a time at least, a girl friend. When
Carole married Willis Hunt, Jr. in July 1940, they returned to the house to
live; when they were separated after two months in
September 1940, Carole moved out, and shortly after moved (with her mother)
to the Oliver house in Brentwood. |

The house at 1816 has been replaced by a modern apartment
complex. Next door at 1820 is a craftsman house completed in 1938 that probably gives a
good idea of what Carole's was like. |

At the end of the block is "little" Santa Monica Blvd, now being merged with
the main boulevard. |
