and Hollywood were both on hand to greet me and show me through their beautiful, 6,400-squarefoot house and tell me a bit about themselves. They married in the Turks and Caicos in June of last year and bought their new home this past October. Natasha attended Florida State University and later moved to Memphis from Houston to work at ServiceMaster. She is now a human resources professional with ABB, a global leader
in industrial technology. She has a daughter, Kennedy, and a son, Tristan. Hollywood was born and raised in Orange Mound and is a huge booster of that community, not surprising for a man once crowned “Mr. Melrose” by his fellow high-school classmates. He is active in the Orange Mound Council and Men of Memphis United. His business is One Solution, a construction company. And he has a 12-year-old daughter, Liberty, and two older
sons, DJ and London. Despite being built some 20 years ago, their new home was turn-key perfect with a great flow, which the Evans family found important, as they wanted a house suitable for entertaining. The ceilings throughout vary from 9 to 12 feet, and the walls are neutral. They love the handsome trim in the two-story entrance hall, and they changed the paint color there to a light gray. The large kitchen and breakfast
room area was a big selling point as both are accomplished cooks and “everyone congregates here.” Several beautiful chandeliers throughout the house delighted them, as did the beveled glass in the home’s windows. There are three staircases, with even a chair lift on one of them. Amazingly, Natasha and Hollywood furnished the six-bedroom, fiveand-a-half-bath home in just three months working room by room, all the while texting pictures
