Beverly Hills tour of Celebrity Homes from the Golden Age

[@reneemallicone4770]

That's not the original Pickfair house. It was torn down because when Pia bought it she said it was haunted. Such a shame. They destroyed that kind of history.

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

If there is demonic activity it's best to raise the property, have it blessed and rebuild at a different angle on the same property.

[@fernandamangini8039]

I love seeing celebrity homes, one of my first times in LA we decided to tour their homes, and saw quite a few including Lucy's home which I loved, just a shame it no longer looks like the original plus a whole host of others. In 1991, when Michael Landon passed we tried desperately to find his home and found someone who actually knew where his home was, and we were surprised to find out his home was at the end of a dirt road. Thank you for giving us these virtual tours.

[@DrGariS]

Wow that is such a great comment! Thank you so much!

[@jessicagreene1773]

It's incredible to think Elizabeth Montgomery lived in that huge beautiful house compared to the home Dick York lived in his last years.

[@DrGariS]

True - she also came from a celebrity family do not forget!

[@joonaslehtonen7965]

Allways felt very strong curiosity and admiration to old Hollywood celebreties, their lifestyle and houses.

[@DrGariS]

Fun!

[@jude1515]

Great tour. All the homes are beautiful. I imagine they take a lot of money just for the upkeep. I like Marilyn Monroes house and Elizabeth Montgomerys house.

[@DrGariS]

You have great taste. Upkeep is crazy

[@spitfire3984]

I admit it…Im obsessed with old Hollywood. This was a great video. I can’t imagine the fun they had back then. The world has changed for the better and for the worst, in different ways.

[@DrGariS]

When you were famous back then you were REALLY famous. Now everyone is famous-Ish!

[@markberryhill2715]

@@DrGariS the stars on this tour's work has withstood the test of time. Let's hope today's trash doesn't.

[@queencerseilannister3519]

I heard another story that one time Vivian and Lucy were on her sofa and Jack Benny just walked inside, began playing a trumpet (I believe it was) then turned around and left 🤣🤣 I couldn't imagine the fun they had.

[@JustinLHopkins]

Monroe seemed to prefer cozy, warm environments as opposed to massive and impersonal.

[@DrGariS]

Yes, she seemed pretty humble

[@ladycharlotte8693]

She didn’t have the money to buy a big estate.....poor thing people used her up where ever she went

[@Light-Shift]

She had no money. She was treated without respect and her salaries corresponded.

[@candydyhart2383]

Yes, that was what I liked about her

[@MichelleMohr-lt1wo]

Probably didn't have as much money as these others.

[@traceylcooper]

Wow on Jimmy Stewarts past home. He deserved it. If you still have not seen the movie, you MUST! I recommend it toward Christmas time, and I watch it again nearly every year, such good childhood memoriy from when I first saw it...(Was an old movie back then!)

[@loriepostlewaite162]

Elizabeth Montgomery’s house would have to be my favorite it’s so beautiful

[@bryanspindle4455]

I can't imagine living in Lucy's house and making such drastic changes.

[@DrGariS]

I know / same here

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I live in Beverly Hills and have seen all of this many, many times, but this is a great video. Well done. It's like revisiting everything again.

[@DrGariS]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@donnapollock]

I love your tours. Very interesting to watch and see. I have been up in the area looking many years ago and I got to see Sammy Davis Jr way at the top of a hill he was leaving his house when we passed and he waved and said hello. we also saw Burt Reynolds house too. They were just building Tom Jones home, the all brick one just as your going up the hill. I loved that house many years ago. Thanks again....

[@DrGariS]

Thank you so very much for the lovely comment

[@michellescarborough16]

I love the outside of the Pickford home. The architecture back then with all these homes has more style and character than the boxes they build today. Just my opinion. Love old Hollywood. Thank you for this video, it was really interesting.

[@DrGariS]

Thank you for such a nice comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed!

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

It's not the original Pickford house - her house was bought by Pia Zadora who had it torn down because she thought it was "haunted".

[@gvie56]

On Roxbury, just a little north on the opposite side from The Benny and Ball’s home were the homes of Rosemary Clooney and next to it was the home of Ira Gershwin. I remember driving by the tutor home of Jimmy Stewart and he actually opened the front door and got his mail.

[@DrGariS]

Wow - did not know that about Stewart but yes I know the Clooney house - also Agnes Moorehead, Madonna and Diane Keaton - same block!!!!

[@chloe7428]

So cool! Jimmy Stewart was an incredible actor! One of my favorites and Jack Benny one of the most funniest comedians I’ve ever listen too! Love his show

[@AlmondJoie]

Elizabeth Montgomery was notoriously private, but how cool it would've been to have seen her on the cover of AD with pictures of her beautiful home inside. RIP EVM💔

[@DrGariS]

I would have loved that! I did not know she was that private!

[@DrGariS]

You did? When? Wow, that’s so interesting

[@AlmondJoie]

@@DrGariS EVM did her work, but didn't seem to care much for doing press junkets or red carpet appearances. She was kind when respectfully approached by fans, but according to one of her best friends, she hated being asked to twitch her nose. I've never seen any old magazines featuring her and the interior of her beautiful home, but would love to if there are any that are still in existence. I vaguely recall that she was also quite the artist and loved to paint in her spare time. It would be great to see some of her beautiful talent. RIP EVM❤️

[@SusanGK1]

My husband and I went to Beverly hills while visiting a friend. We went down Sunset Blvd and it when right into a street with some beautiful homes. We probably drove by some famous peoples home but didn't know who lived where. If we ever go again I'll be sure to go by these homes! Thanks.

[@DrGariS]

It is lovely here for sure

[@beautymaven3952]

California Gal strange how he walked in front of them though...because when I went, if you were caught STANDING in front of any celebrity home, you’d get arrested. Even our tour bus would not stop for photos, as he said he’d get fined.

[@BedfordFalls7]

I get so melancholy when I see these homes because so many stars are gone. Jimmy Stewart is one of my all time favorites. Because of his role in It's A Wonderful Life. George Bailey reminds me of the father I had. My father's name was George also. And Jimmy was such a down to earth sweet man in real life. Great actor. So many of these people are gone now and I just feel sad when I see these tours. I enjoy seeing the homes, but it's bittersweet.

[@kelleymariejones6388]

I agree and I would have loved to own the home. My heart is in Hollywood ( not the industry but the beautiful town. I yearn to be there again soon!

[@DrGariS]

Thank you so much for that wonderful compliment - so happy you enjoyed!

[@cathyreardon8979]

Melinda, Jimmy Stewart was one of my favorite actors. I have a book on his life. There is not one movie that I didn't like. God Bless you🙏. Cathy🌻 Ohio 🌻

[@Chutney1luv]

Thank you for this incredible tour of the outside of these beautiful homes! The actors earned every home and the admiration given to them. Jimmy Stewart was magnificent in, "It's A Wonderful Life, and any movie that he acted in!" Loved him! You have to see that movie! Elizabeth Montgomery's home was beautiful as well! Can you imagine living next door to Lucy and Jack Benny? The parties and laughter would have been hilarious!😅

The former Beverly Hills mayor must’ve had a heck of a career before becoming mayor. That home is amazing!

Elizabeth Montgomery was very grounded, despite the mansion. She sent her kids to public school.

[@DrGariS]

I agree

[@kerrykeene6471]

From everything that I've read from people who met Liz or knew her, the words they used to describe her were, kind, sweet, down to earth, unaffected and others.

[@lilylittlemonster5]

The public schools in those neighborhoods back in the day used to be very good. It was normal if you lived in those neighborhoods for your kids to attend public school.

[@HeidyFranz]

It is kind of sad that the children of these celebrities have no care to keep the houses where they grew up in, I feel so sad that I couldn't keep my grandparents house, which was sold from my greedy aunt so fast when they died. I was lucky to have gotten many things that may not be worth much, but are personal items while they were still alive, I treasure each item and I tell my children and grandchildren all the stories and memories they have shared with me. Looking at where Lucy and Jimmy's beautiful home's once stood, where now in my opinion these cold mansion's are, makes my heart ache.

Ive always thought that it would be just fitting if a real committed fan of a beloved celebrity, made it big enough to buy the former home of their favourite celeb! I cant think of a better tribute Because the person would treasure every inch of that property & make sure it was lovingly cared for. It wouldnt be for the grandeur or a quick flip for money but for the love & respect for the beloved old film star! I remember seeing a wonderful home once owned by a silent film star ( female) & it was all Art Neuveau & Deco intermixed yet it blended so well & it was a beautiful home with lots of foliage & open passageways I wish i could remember the name of the female star!! I know they died at this property Thanks for your video Peace 🇬🇧👧

Lombards house since she was married to Powell was a Dutch colonial and before she even married Gable she moved in with him to his farm on 20 acres in Encino that Gable bought from Raoul Walsh.

GREAT JOB WITH THIS. I MUST TELL YOU WHEN I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL I WANTED TO GO SEE HOLLYWOOD SO I TOOK A GREYHOUND BUS OUT THERE AND SPENT 3 WEEKS THERE. I WANTED TO SEE LUCY'S HOUSE AND JACK BENNY'S HOME. SOMEONE THERE WHO I TALKED TO SAID LUCY COMES OUT TO GET HER MAIL YOU.MIGHT SEE HER AND JACK BENNY COMES OUT SOMETIMES TO SEE PEOPLE. WELL I WENT BY LUCY'S HOUSE AND WHILE TAKING SOME PICTURES LUCY CAME OUT AND WALKED OVER AND SAID DID YOU GET GOOD PICTURES AND I TOLD HER I WAS FROM SOUTH JERSEY AND WE TALK FOR A WHILE AND WE TOOK SOME PICTURES WITH HER. I TOLD HER I WAS HOPING TO SEE JACK BENNY TO AND SHE SAID JACK USUALLY WONDERS OUT AT LIKE 11 AM AS HES A LATE BREAKFAST GUY SO YOU MIGHT SEE HIM. I ASKED HER WAS HE AS NICE AS SHE WAS AND SHE SAID HES A GREAT PEOPLE GUY. SO I WALKED OVER THERE AND THERE WAS HACK BENNY GETTING HIS PAPER. I YELLED UP TO HIM WHERE I WAS FROM AND JACK CAME OVER WE TALKED AND TOOK SOME PICTURES TOGETHER. THIS WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE TRIP I EVER TOOK. ITS A GREAT PLACE WHERE THE STARS HERE WERE PEOPLE PERSONS AND YOU CAN TELL THAT BY THERE BEING SIDEWALKS WHERE YOU CA N WALK UP TO THESE HOUSE. STARS TODAY HAVE THE SIDEWALKS TAKEN OUT SO YOU CANT WALK UP THERE BECAUSE THEN YOUR ON THERE PROPERTY WHERE AS SIDEWALKS ARE PUBLIC PROPERTY.

[@stokedtoker9455]

When I was a young man, I worked on a home (construction) located on a corner of Sunset and something or other. Years later, it gained notoriety when the owner painted the naked statues in flesh tones. House was huge, kind of French Provincial style I'm guessing. Giant Porte Coche, Olympic pool, theater for about 20 as I recall, tennis court. Sat on about 4 acres would be my guess. Always wondered about the history of the home as I figured it was built in the 1920's or so. Can anyone enlighten me as to the history of this home?

My favourite is the Marilyn house. It’s good that they keep it pretty much the same as when she purchased it. She was planning on getting major remodelling done to the rooms and garden however she only enjoyed the home for a brief period of time. She had ordered a new sofa and had most of her Mexican furniture and artwork in storage. I would have loved to have seen the house decorated the way she wanted it and the garden done out like she wanted. The ceilings in the house have exposed beams and they look beautiful. The church shaped arch ways leading into the Lounge room are pretty, so are the beautiful 1920s windows and doors. It maybe a small house compared to the big luxurious homes in the neighbourhood but I think it’s got a special Loveliness about it. ❤

[@DrGariS]

Thanks for the comment. I agree with you on many of your points! That house would be so delightful to see it in the glory of what she would have done and felt comfortable with. I’m glad at least the owners have kept its integrity

I know her and I’ve been to her house. She actually had a baby bull in her yard - about 10 years ago. Her sister helps her with all her clothes and when you call the house, the sister sounds just like her. Her husband committed suicide a couple of years ago and her son Shel used to live with her. She’s a nice lady and she does live performances all the time all over the world. She’s better known all over the world than in the US. She’s an incredible guitarist. She does well

According to Luci Arnez, when her Mother lived there the yard was just grass. No fences or walls.She said the people that live there now own a Grocery Chain. She was surprised her parents were big stars that never needed a walked fence yet the people who are there now and no one has any idea who they are live like they are behind Ft. Knox.

Definitely had a wall around the back area!

Lucie Arnaz did comment that when her and her brother were children and while they would wait for the school bus, random people would walk into the front yard and pull out their grass.

It was safer back in that era. They have to have walls and fences and gates now because of all of the crazies out there.

You missed Elvis Presley house at 144 Monovale Dr across from Michael Jacksons house. Elizabeth Montgomery also lived at the 144 Monovale house with her dad Robert Montgomery.

I wonder how much of these huge mansions do people actually really live in, and how much is for show and or used during parties?

[@DrGariS]

I have not seen drug parties in any of these - it is typically quiet around here at night
