"Samuel L. Jackson\nThe Pulp Fiction Star and His Wife, LaTanya, In Los Angeles\nSamuel L. Jackson (with his wife, LaTanya) was contemplating returning to New York with his family when the success of Pulp Fiction\u2014for which he received an Academy Award nomination\u2014catapulted him to the top of Hollywood's list of in-demand actors.\nThe Jacksons asked designer Cecil N. Hayes to help them decorate their Tudor-style house in the San Fernando Valley.\nJacob Lawrence's The Builder, 1974, is on the living room wall, to the left of the doorway. Art\u00E9 de Mexico low table. Henredon chair, right.\n\"Sam and LaTanya frequently host benefit dinners and needed a space that was personal but could fit a large group,\" Hayes says of the dining room. Behind the walnut table and 1920s walnut chairs, with Robert Allen damask, is a Renaissance Revival sideboard.\nA Persian rug hangs above the family room's fireplace, whose mantel holds stoneware pots and a pair of West African chiwaras, fertility symbols. Samuel Jackson found the model houses atop the oak entertainment center in Mississippi while he was filming A Time to Kill.\nPosters, articles and awards that chronicle Jackson's acting achievements cover the wall of his office. Personal keepsakes include a boxing glove autographed and once owned by Muhammad Ali and the instrument featured in his 1998 movie The Red Violin.\nInside a 2,100-square-foot guesthouse is the actor's screening room: \"the best toy I could have,\" he says. Jackson estimates that he owns between 6,000 and 7,000 laser discs. The mahogany low table and end tables, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, are from Morocco.\nThe master bedroom's African furnishings, like the Madagascan table and the 18th-century Moroccan jewel holder, mix with an Eastern trunk and bomb\u00E9 commode. The doll on the window seat is from the collection of LaTanya Jackson and the couple's daughter, Zoe."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
