Fred Astaire’s daughter, Ava Astaire McKenzie, is selling her west London home.
Pictured with the late Hollywood dance legend, Ava grew up in Beverly Hills but left the bright lights of La La Land in 1975 to raise her children with her writer husband, Richard McKenzie, in Cork, Ireland.
The couple, avid theatregoers, bought a London pied-à-terre in 2002, a raised ground-floor flat in a pretty Victorian conversion.
They relocated in 2010 to Palm Springs, California, keeping the London flat on.
However, these days the long flights have become less appealing, so they have decided to sell.
The one-bedroom home in Cheniston Gardens, just off Kensington High Street, is listed for £1 million with Marsh & Parsons.
