"I have always loved drama. Not just in terms of acting, but drama in what I see. Of course, I fell in love with Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis-Brown House. But my infatuation is nothing new...like me, many of my kind in the entertainment industry have fallen for its exhibitionist beauty. This exotic location boasts more films to its credit than most actors have the privilege to make."   
- Diane Keaton, Award-winning actress in Building Sights, USA - Ennis-Brown House VHS video, part of a BBC series
