Description
The Church of the Good Shepherd is in the heart of Beverly Hills, California. The parish was founded in 1923 and construction of the church was completed in 1925. Its Mission Revival style was designed by architect James J. Donnellan. The Catholic church has been the house of worship for some of Hollywood’s greatest celebrities and has seen many high-profile weddings and funerals. In this church Elizabeth Taylor married her first husband, Conrad Hilton, Loretta Young wed Tom Lewis, and Mark Warhlberg married Rhea Durham, to name just a few of its famous nuptials. Some of the funerals that occurred here were for Rudolph Valentino, Carmen Miranda, Gary Cooper, Alfred Hitchcock, Rita Hayworth, and Danny Thomas. For movie buffs, the Church of the Good Shepherd was the location for the funeral scene in the film “A Star Is Born” starring Judy Garland and James Mason.
