‘Mean Girls’ Star Lists Eye-Catching Midcentury Treasure in Hollywood Hills

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Mean Girls, the cult classic that defined a generation and introduced audiences to unforgettable characters like Janis Ian, played by Lizzy Caplan. Caplan has acted in tons of roles since then, including Truth Be Told and Fleishman Is in Trouble, but is now making headlines for other reasons. The actress just listed her lively midcentury modern in Hollywood Hills, specifically the The Oaks neighborhood, for $2.8 million.

The 2,000-square-foot home, built in 1961, is a striking example of midcentury architecture with its open floor plan, tropical atrium, clean lines, and jewel-toned pops of color that weave throughout the indoor and outdoor spaces. Caplan purchased the house in 2013 and has renovated it over the past decade, adding wood accents, expansive windows, and glass doors to complement its original design.

Evoking Slim Aarons-style, laidback glamour, the pool is visible from nearly every room. The primary suite, tucked into its own private wing, offers another perspective of the atrium. And, let’s talk about the custom chef’s kitchen—it’s practically begging for culinary adventures or a batch of Kalteen Bars with emerald green kitchen cabinets, wood-clad ceilings, and a large island.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is situated below the Hollywood Sign and above Bronson Canyon, giving it some iconic L.A. views. The neighborhood is known for its charming tree-lined streets and its proximity to Griffith Park, providing a serene escape.

No need to break out the Burn Book here—this place is simply so fetch. For interested buyers, Patricia Ruben of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
