The estate of comic actor Edward Everett Horton, who also "served" as honorary governor of the Valley in the 1940s and narrated Fractured Fairytales on the ROcky and Bullwinkle Show, was in Encino at 5521 Amestoy Avenue. Horton hosted many social and community events at Belly Acres. The writer F. Scott Fitzgerald rented a guest cottage for a time in 1938-39. Marjorie Lord and Vivian Vance also lived in the guest cottage at one time. Horton had to make way in the late 1950s for the Ventura Freeway, which cut right through his property. A short street called Edward Everett Horton Lane off of Burbank Boulevard commemorates the actor.
