The peaceful atmosphere and appealing Hudson views have brought many noteworthy people to Hastings. From 1916 to the early '30s, producer Florenz Zeigfeld and his wife, actress Billie Burke (who played the good witch in "The Wizard of Oz") lived on the 22 acre estate called Burkeley Crest. Sculptor Jacques Lipchitz and Admiral David Farragut were other noted residents of Hastings.
