WILD CARDS RUN IN THE FAMILY.
RAISED BY A SECOND-GENERATION Hollywood stunt man, Tammy Randall Wood fell in love with set design early in life. “I wanted to be involved in the creation of spaces because they really do help us tell our stories,” says Wood, who, newly married, went into interior design rather than film so she didn’t have to move on location for every new project. “We manifest the story of our lives.”
Where others saw an abandoned eight-bedroom money pit, Wood saw potential. “I always have huge visions, and everyone around me shakes their head,” she explains. “We refurbished the gardens with beautiful olive trees, redid the floors, and ripped out the kitchen. It was featured on a magazine cover—and then the 2018 Woolsey fire destroyed most of it five months later.”
