You simply must visit Hearst Castle. Knowing your love for classic movies and actors, it's like you are actually visiting Xanadu from Citizen Kane. And with all the actors who spent lots of time partying there, it's fun to know that you are walking where Clark Gable, Cary Grant and Bette Davis walked.
There's a great book called "The Golden Days of San Simeon" that recalls those times.
Oh, and go on more than one tour, each one shows you different areas but I believe all of them show you the two pools.
