Bel-Air, a neighborhood in west Los Angeles, was founded by Alphonzo Bell, an oil tycoon, who purchased 600 acres of land and named it Bel-Air, or "Beautiful Air," after the original Mexican land grant, Rancho San Jose de Buenos Ayres, and the Italian word "Bellissima," meaning "beautiful." The area attracted celebrities such as Clarke Gable, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Burt Reynolds....
