I have always been interested in eccentric men who had been able to put their personal stamp on the history of the world.
Jack McDermott was one of those people. Even though the best and worst of times, Jack was able to create his own empire.
He built the house using spare and discarded parts from movies he worked on. It was his home. He became known as spider pool because of the large swimming pool in the backyard. It had a very large, iconic fountain with a very large image of a spider in tile work. He was able to get a company to make very unique pattern concrete blocks. When added to the area around the pool, the "whole picture" became one of a kind landscape. People using the pool were able to swim outdoors, and then by ducking under a panel at one end, continued to swim indoors.
In its' day, it became a nexus of photographers, models, and all-around who's who of the Hollywood scene. People traveled from all over the world to see and be seen.
I find it interesting how so many photographs, taken by so many photographers of so many models, appear to have been produced at one location!
