Great video Steve! Two comments and a question for you: • Tom Neal has movies on Tubi (free movie app, no fees) right now. I’ve honestly never heard of him but now curious as to how he was as an actor. • I googled and found that in California disclosure of a death (violent or natural) is only required if it happened within the last 3 years. Beyond that you must inquire if there was a death, and how the death occurred. Maybe someone in-the-biz can elaborate. • So the question is…Would you move into a house that had a death occur in it?
@edg85355 сағат бұрын
If the house is very old, the odds are high that a death did take place. Not a homicide but a natural death. Read an article a few years ago where it was stated that it takes twice as long to sell a house where a homicide has taken place.
@steveinpalmspringsca4 сағат бұрын
Thanks for the heads up about the movie. And that’s a very interesting question. If it was a mass murder or something horrific like that, definitely not! In fact, any kind of murder, no. It wouldn’t bother me, though, if someone just naturally died in the house. How about you?

Great video on a terrible subject! I remember Tom Neal from the film noir classic “Detour” (1945) and knew about his fight with Franchot Tone, but didn’t realize that he’d murdered his wife in Palm Springs! Honestly, I think the short prison sentence was a reflection of the times: the victim was a woman, and she’d been accused of cheating on her husband, thus, a shorter sentence than if he’d killed another man, or, say, a child. You could also expect the same if the victim were a minority of any sort. That’s how it was back then, unfortunately 😕
@steveinpalmspringsca10 сағат бұрын
Hi Cary, I agree with you about the sentence being a reflection of the times, but sadly I don’t think all that much has changed since then. Although you are in the legal field, so you obviously know a lot more about it than I do. I hope it has changed. Thanks for sharing that. 👍

@TheParkLarkPrivate8 сағат бұрын
Good morning 🌞 Steve! Happy Holidays 🎄🎅🏽🕎 My two cents regarding justice for crimes committed. My view may be have stir hostile pushback. Celebrities do enjoy privileges in the justice system not afforded to non celebrities. The bigger than life glamour given to actors in movies, television and stage productions is undeniable; case in point with this actor. But the are other social and cultural influences to injustices too. Race, gender, social status, etc. Unfortunately we continue to see these manifestations of injustice to this day. The complexities of the social culture make it very distracting to many. These complexities foster division among people & incentivize people to stay divided. So with such cultural and social dynamics - exploitation of individuals, emerging liberties, gives causes for recalcitrant attitudes towards justice.

One of the houses I lived in wasn't too far from there, since you know the hoods around there, that house was near Steven's and Los Robles, not too far from elvis honeymoon home, actually was in that home often in the late 90's, just thought I'd share

Anyway his name is Clark Gable , because he would get on top of our detached garage and lay on the gable right in front so he could watch everything going on! He's a tuxedo cat and his markings are right on point ❤l
