Is Big Sur Walkable?

Patricia Arquette's Big Sur Home, magazine article

• I am looking for an article about Patricia Arquette and her home in Big Sur. It was published in a magazine sometime in the summer of 2003 (Sometime between May and August, although most likely June or July). I'm thinking it was in Real Simple or Oprah or InStyle, but may be wrong. All I want to know is the name of the magazine and the month of the article. Finding this is driving me nuts! Thanks!!

• Answer:

  Darkstar -- The article that you're seeking is probably in the August, 2003 issue of InStyle. Titled "Cabin Fever," it's written by Degen Pener and describes Arquette's A-frame along the California coast. (She paid for the house with the proceeds from a Polaroid ad done for the Super Bowl 16 years ago. Google search strategy: For this I used the Proquest Magazine database, a fee-based online database of newspapers and magazines that's available for free at many public libraries. Strangely, the 2003 articles on Arquette don't come up for magazines (only newspapers) -- but I did a search for her in InStyle and rapidly found the article. Best regards, Omnivorous-GA
