How adorable: when the Richard Neutra-designed Kronish House in Beverly Hills was in danger of being torn down last year, A-list architecture nut Brad Pitt called up someone involved in the sale and said, "I don't really want to buy this house, but I will if I have to." Kronish eventually sold to Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, and equilibrium was restored. [Curbed LA; previously]
