WSJ: House of the Week: An L.A. Home Gets in Touch With Its Midcentury Modern Roots

When film director Devin Crane was a high school sophomore, his design work caught the eye of the late Marty Sklar, the head of Imagineering at the Walt Disney Company. Crane began working for the company that summer designing Winnie the Pooh’s Hunny Hunt attraction for Tokyo Disneyland. Over the next three years, he spent time at Sklar’s stylish, art-filled Midcentury Modern house in Los Angeles.

“It planted a seed in my young mind,” says Crane, now 47. “I wanted to live in a house like that.”
