2481 North Cardillo AvenuePalm Springs

This ranch-style dwelling was once the home of actor Tom Neal (most famous for his role in the 1945 noir “Detour”), who, on the afternoon of April 1, 1965, shot and killed his third wife, Gail Kloke, following an argument over their impending divorce. He was ultimately found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and, while awaiting sentencing, infamously posed for a photo shoot outside of the residence/murder scene, feigning much grief. Following a six-year prison stint, Neal relocated to Los Angeles and passed away just eight months later, one of Hollywood’s most tragic cautionary tales.
