- In 1994, My mother and I drove up Sunset Blvd then north on Benedict Canyon to Cielo Drive to see the once beautiful 10050 Cielo Drive house. This house was originally built in 1941 by Michele Morgan, this is the same house that actress Sharon Tate and 4 others were killed by the Manson Family in 1969. The original house was torn down and a new house was built with a new address of 10066 Cielo Drive.
I'm So Excited, I just received an email from a lady that wants to use some footage from this video on Cielo Drive for an HBO Documentary Special on Jimmy Lovine and Dr. Dre.

The city should have never allowed the developer to put up that ugly faux-Mediterranean wart on that beautiful hill. They not only ripped down a historically important house, they actually destroyed the natural grade to fit that over-sized monstrosity onto the lot. Went from idyllic to eyesore. Just awful in every sense of the word.
They call those McMansions around here.
Money talks in la.
As an Aussie couldn't agree more 👍 👏 👌
The original building made in 1942/ 3 was so pretty, like a little cottage despite the sad events. It's a shame something so unattractive was built there after.
Producer Mr. Franklin still hasn't been able to sell that house..... after 30 years 😮. What a humongous financial loss for him. He knows now that he should not have torn the original house down.
The yearly property tax on that Mcmansion must be astronomical.😁🤔
The original property was at ease in the landscape but the new house looks like it has invaded the hillside.
Incredible how old the 90’s look now. Seems like only yesterday to me. Sometimes I miss those days.

Same. The last of the innocent times 😢
That house was beautiful the setting so serene and lovely with breathtaking views, a place anyone would be proud to call home, the kind of place you would hate to leave and smile and get excited all the way going back home, all those twists and turns going up so high tucked away above the city it seemed, this is a constant reminder that no matter how far you go or how high to get away and have your own private piece of heaven right here on earth the evil in people is determined to try to kill steal and destroy you your peace your dreams and your life and is never satisfied until it does, i think all those houses he passed all that way he traveled to reach the top to that house to bring destruction and grief and forever taint what was once so beautiful serene and lovely which is what evil does, some people are really sickning and go out of their way to make your life more difficult than life already is, very sad memory
Well said Mike….. and one cant help but ask themselves- when they were killing complete STRANGERS -DID IT EVER DAWN ON THEM HOW WRONG WHAT THEY WERE DOING WAS!?!?! To go and attack those people having new malice or hit against him? It is sickening
@@clemflynn7067 I wasn’t alive when this horrific crime occurred….born in 1970. But, how could anyone kill a defenseless pregnant woman, begging to just be allowed to give birth to her child? That’s what makes every one of those murderers eligible to stay in prison until their own death.
It underscores the need to own a firearm, get trained, be packing at all times, and fire at will when necessary. Absolutely SHOW NO MERCY!
None of the guys had one - big mistake. They would all be alive today.
@@johnmorelli3775 Very good point. In a city where I formerly live, the mayor made headlines back in the early 2000’s for encouraging homeowners to shoot intruders dead, period. Most surprisingly, he was a Democrat mayor.
@@johnmorelli3775 lots of people with guns at home still get murdered. They were caught off guard. A large dog is best because it'll know someone is coming far earlier than you ever will and if it's aggressive sometimes just the noise of it's deep bark and growls will deter people. Noise and alertness equals awareness and that's too much for most criminals.
The original house was so much more Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Its crazy isn't it. You would image living all that way up in the hills you would have been in the safest place in the world. Such a tragic and horrific event.
But then the Murderers knew exactly where they were going. Both Tex Watson and Charlie Manson, had been on that property about 2 or 3 times each. As a matter of fact, both Tex, and Charlie were there together on at least one occasion, and perhaps more than that one occasion. Bottom line is, both Tex and Charlie were both on that property, prior to the night of the murders.
This is a wonderful time capsule of Beverly Hills in the 90s!
Another beautiful and heart warming video! Thank you George! Sharon needs to be remembered with the love and respect she deserves! You bring that to your viewers! ❤️😔
I'm only 3 years old when you made this video and now in November 2018 I'm watching.
Both songs are absolutely beautiful for this video....very nice video....thank you!
So beautiful that if you show it to krenwinkle van houton and tex Watson I bet they might have a melt down if there’s any justice in the world, not that I will ever vindicate them for wt they did.
I drove up there myself back in 2006. A very peaceful drive. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is nice to remember the victims in a peaceful manner.
The old (Tate) house had charm, especially in that beautiful landscaped setting. Now the property looks as though a bomb exploded, and the new house doesn't contribute to the community at all.
The new house literally has no grounds, it actually almost goes out over the edge of the grounds
No beautiful view either - I've seen how the skyscrapers below have blighted that view. Sharon and her friends would not recognise the place now - if they'd awakened from their eternal sleep.
Completely agree. It is a monstrosity.
The new house is an ugly McMansion that doesn't even try to blend in to its surroundings...that thing sticks out like a sore thumb.
Building that pile of crap can never erase what happened there, neither has it fooled anyone into thinking that's not the same location.
The new home is a total eye sore. Money doesn’t always buy taste.
This video was truly historic. Besides the house itself, you can see what people drove back in the day and how beautiful cruising through Cali was too.
Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate that. George
I know I miss the 90's so bad
@@andreamonk4545 I miss the '70s and the '80s as well. I think those were the best of times. Hope you enjoyed them too.
@@rollydoucet8909 I was born in the 80's but wish I would have been a teen in the 80's...lol
@@andreamonk4545 My teen years were during the 1960s. As a teenager, I got into all kinds of trouble. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing. lol
The whole mood is very 60's & 70's, a great piece of footage.
Thank You, Michelle, I appreciate that comment.
Here's the story: I lived in the San Fernando Valley and had just gotten my driver's liscence around the time of the Tate murders. Underage, I had a few years earlier managed to get in to see Valley Of The Dolls at the movie theater so I was familiar with Sharon Tate, and was a fan of Patty Duke and Barbara Parkins from their TV series. News of the murders was the talk of the town, to say the least! I was a student at Canoga Park High School located in a kind of ballpark area to the Span Movie Ranch in Chattsworth. My friends from Drama class and I got into this thing of driving up to the abandoned property after school as a spooky lark. I was more adventureous and before long began hosting trips up narrow Cielo Dr. off of Benedict Canyon Dr. to the famous Tate gate. Night & day! Unorthodox way to entertain ones friends but it had a certain fascination.
Moving ahead, several years later, I guess for nostalga's sake (?) I was in the area and decided to make my old round. The Tate property was completely unchanged, but this time the chain link gate with the upraised old bell to the side was wide open! It was in lateish afternoon and I decided I would, for the first time, walk into the property. I didn't plan to go very far... Background is that when you stand at the front gate you can see a bit of the Tate ambiance as a little well is clearly in view. The driveway has a curve to it and you can see the rustic wood mixed with the white trim of the house and almost the front of the house, but it stops just short. As a person I am actually reserved and polite, very well behaved. Only I know the crazy inside, and all I can say is I was just - obsessed and that gave me the courage. So I'm walking up the driveway a little bit and quickly the well photograped front of the house with its famous white front "Piggy" door comes into view! To either side of the door are the big open french windows. Unfortunately for me(!), just as I came into view the owner of the house was looking out the window back at me! Scared? Big time. I knew I need to be relaxed and not make any sudden moves! A mature man came out who identified himself as the owner (Rudi Atabelli) of the house and wanted to know what I was doing there? Guilt rushed over me and I didn't want to identify myself as a Sharon Tate house lookie-loo, so I suddenly announced that I was a college student from UCLA and I was supposed to be meeting a group of other students for a meeting at a house at the end of Cielo Drive. "This isn't the house?", I might have asked. There was, I believe, another steep road on the opposite side of Cielo that I thought he might think is where I belonged. Upshot: He likely asked me a few try to pin me down questions but ultimately just let me go. With a warning? Can't remember his actual tone.
Why?, you may ask. Well, I wouldn't do any of this today... Ah, youth, is all I can really muster...
That was a clever and somewhat realistic sounding cover story. I would have had to formulate a story like that before I got there as I don’t think I’d have the wits to come up with something like that on the spot! I’ve wondered about the road on the other side of Cielo. I learned there was
actually a small access road to the property from the other side of the guest house. Years of reading about the case and I still have no grasp of where it was based on the layout of the property, and how easily it could be accessed by someone leaving (fleeing) the property.
EAST - Thanks so much for responding to this with a compliment as to my quick thinking! Yes, I was scared. Fear can make you very quick witted in coming up with the fake explanations? And I had to know the owner, Rudi Adabelli must have been very out of patience with unwelcome guests, if you get my drift... I have read lots of books with Tate house information too. I can't really remember it all and don't know about a backway out of the guest house but it seems to me the house (especially the guest house) ends on a kind of bluff where there would be no back entrance?
This is off topic but in general reading I have discovered so many famous faces have visited the Tate house before Aug. 9, 1969. Most surprising, there was this young new heartthrob in Hollywood in the 1960s named Christopher Jones. Apparently he was renting the guest house where he took Debbie Reynolds, of all people, to visit!
gary warmee Yes I’ve read about Christopher Jones I think Altobelli was managing him, as well as Olivia Hussey who also lived on the property right after the murders and was involved with Christopher but claimed he mistreated and assaulted her. Much later Christopher Jones claimed to have been having an affair with Sharon Tate and was devastated by her murder. Jones was a troubled guy and had a mental breakdown at some point and had bad relations with directors (and one director drugged him during a film shoot) so it’s hard to know what really happened. Pretty dark story. There is an interview of Doris Tate here on RUclips. I cannot remember if it was the a-hole Bill Nelson interview or of it was the Ed Sanders interview but in discussing the property the subject of some extra access road came up and Doris knew about this road. It was literally the first time I remember hearing about this road and I’ve been into this case for
many years so I was very surprised. I haven’t been able to find any other details. I’ve always been curious about the relationship between the Cielo property and the neighboring houses, such above and below. I think it comes from a sense of “What if?” like if Abigail Folger was faster even having already been wounded, and if she had managed to knock Pat Krenwinkel on her ass and keep running and managed to get herself either down the hill in front or out to the side, hid or somehow accessed another house and reached help. I lived in LA for a time but never visited the exact area of the property so the only sense I have of how realistic that could have been is from photos and videos. Maybe it was completely unrealistic. It’s hard not to wonder.
WOW, 1027. Endlessly fascinating. You remember what I have forgotten. Yes. Olivia Hussey in her book! Imagine the small world! (Moving in AFTER the murders?) I didn't know CJ supposidly had an affair with Sharon Tate, but Debbie Reynolds in that little house? I am easily shocked! I can tell you about the properties around Cielo Dr. Everything is an off shoot off Benedict Canyon. As you will know Cielo Dr. is a little narrow uphill street that ends at the Tate house. The other properties are on the left. To the right is only a hill. While Rudi Atobelli's neighbors may be living a luxe life inside, from the street the residences looked rather ordinary if not run down. Drab and non revealing, but there was a view of sorts for them off balconys I'm thinking... I have always wondered about those houses too. Who would open their front door for an Abagail Foldger in the dead of night? On RUclips there is a video of a close neighbor showing off his house, his collections of something I forget, the post a tie in to the Tate house but I don't think much was said about it.
It is compellinng to imagine that spooky night. The imagination wonders if everything went down just as we have been told? Such a hot August night. I suppose it is real but it is so hard for me to imagine the concept of total mind control where someone is able to convince another otherise normal from suberbia to go out and savagely kill for them. Anyone in sight. Our Sadie Mae, Susan Atkins is some piece of work. I always thought she looked a little something like how we see Jesus presented in her going to and coming from trial photos. Not exactly one and the same person...
What a Wonderful Story, Gary! WOW! you are very lucky to have made it on property, something I was never able to do. I have taken many pictures of the house over the years and so happy I did before the house was torn down. Thank you so much for that wonderful story on Cielo Drive. I would love to see your pictures if you have any. George
This video was done with respect and done beautifully. The zoom in shot of the house was touching.
The best, comment I’ve read so far…. Very well said
beautifully captured and incredibly peaceful which is what I associate with Sharon. Thank you for sharing
I did this drive with my cousin in 1984. The wall and gate had been changed, so you couldn't see the house from the street, but the original house was still there at that time. More recent footage I have seen shows that there has been a lot of building on the street since this was filmed. I'm amazed it was so relatively undeveloped in the mid-90s - how I remember it from 1984.
Hi Ralph, thank you for the great comment. The house was amazing to see as you drove up Benedict Canyon, it was like a house from another time...not Hollywood. George
Speaking for myself, I could never build there ever again..I feel their spirits linger on on that land..Such a horrific tragedy took place in that area of the old home...As I said that's just me feeling that way..But people with a lot of wealth can't be bothered by that..They put it our of their mind and move on to other bigger and better things..As for me, never would I build there again.
The people who "occupied" the original house more or less desecrated the memories of it after the murders. Tearing it down to erase the history and make room for change was inevitable.
I agree. So sad that the house was torn down along with the beautiful landscaping that surrounded the house. You're right about how angelic the house, land and view was.
How wonderful that you & your mom had the opportunity to make another trip together 20 years later. You did a great job on this one too. The new construction looks like it could slide down that mountain any minute. I think they really screwed up this once beautiful property.
Apparently Cielo means heaven in Spanish. The land, the grounds and the home was like a piece of heaven. So many happy memories were made there. I wish somehow it could have been preserved and blessed by a priest after that one terrible night.
‘Cielo’ is Spanish for ‘sky’.
Cielo Drive = Sky Drive
Watching a video from 1994 uploaded in 2013 about horrible events that happened in 1969 in 2020. Very mind blowing lol
To tear down the beautiful house that once sat there is criminal, the new house is a monstrosity!
My thoughts, exactly.
exactly! it barely fits the land, the pool almost hangs over the edge of the cliff.
I Agree 100% with You !! The original House should have absolutely never been torn down !!! That new mansion that's there now is disgusting.
Wow. California was really beautiful back then.
Aliyah Z that part still looks the same just some newer mansions
Still is, less smog
Its the worst state in america by a mile....
@@eiresaoirse3258 its actually not
@@jennag3226 im not sayin the people are im saying the corruption that goes on is the worst by a mile..They havent a clue what they are doing..All they care about is votes they dont give a damn about the lower class.All they care about is staying in goverment..its horrible to watch whats happening.
Thanks for a drive through my old stomping grounds .. made me a little homesick
This Video Matches The Scenery Perfect!..Sharon Was Truly A Angel!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done George. You have done a lot of videos on Sharon Tate. You deserve the recognition. Enya is a good choice of music. It all looks beautiful x
Looks like you and I share a bit of a passion George. Thank you so much for posting these wonderful videos. Despite this beautiful home being gone, I would very much like to take a stroll up that winding road. Sharon Tate was and is a goddess.
Your video is incredibly moving , thank you for this tribute to Sharon Tate and thank you for sharing him with us!
You are so welcome, I love doing them and I am so glad you like them. George
E. Baggins him??
Congratulations on having part your of your video shown on HBO. 👍
Thank you for taking us that can't go on this lovely trip.😂
The original property and house should have been transformed into an anti-terrorist/peace memorial.
Sharon Tate should also be granted a Star on the walk in Hollywood.
She is iconic. One of the most beautiful American women in history.
Hi Ghary. I agree 100% about everything you wrote.
A star, why? Because she was beautiful? Takes a little more accomplishment than that.
She was in one movie so she would be getting a star for being murdered.
Karen Deus she’s been in more than one movie!
@@missyb9438 sadly Sharon was a relatively unknown actress until the murders other than Valley of the Dolls and marrying Roman Polanski. Not saying she wouldn't have become a true star had this not happened, I just don't think you get a star for the tragic end of your life.
Amazing! May she rest in peace..........
very good video quality for 94
Thank you, I did the best I could at that time.
The old house was gorgeous and perfect,now the new one sucks! By the way such a beautiful song!! I love the 90's
Thank you for posting Mr. George
The Enya songs were the perfect touch to this filming. I love that song (the first one), well, actually both of them. They are so relaxing and destressing. Good selections! What was that lyric line in that Joni Mitchell song: "They paved paradise, to put up a parking lot."
that referred to the garden of allah....when it was demolished.....and flattened...
Yes, I have that same dream sometimes. Thanks for the comment. George
I would love to buy the property and rebuild the house the way it used to look restore everything it was such a beautiful property in the bulldozers came in and there are modernization why can't they just leave stuff alone that my life's goal to get this property and restore it back to its Glory
Maybe yoo should make a gofundme and make it happen:(
It's for sale now ...for $85 million.
Looks like with the slightest earthquake that the new house will tumble off the edge!Great video!
I visited there recently,i thought the same thing,wild fires,mudslides,earthquake,the whole shabang would domino down upon itself.
Wow!!! The main road leading to the area where they lived was so beautiful. Once you were off the main road heading toward the property, the surroundings left a lot to be desired. The entire community and the roads appear so unkempt and run down. I was absolutely shocked to see the old house was still there. I was told years ago it had been purchased and torn down. I assume someone must be living in it now. That was such a horrific tragedy no one will ever forget. I do want to thank you for filming and sharing this. It was very interesting. Seeing just how isolated the property is was a big surprise.
The house below that looks like the Tate house is 10048 Cielo Drive. It is nearly like it, but not exactly and both houses were built at the same time and designed by the same architect, Robert Byrd.
That house wasn't the Tate house???
@@richardmorris7063 no, the really ugly house under construction above it is where the Tate house originally stood.
@@SurvivingTheApocalypse I'm following this Idaho murders. Brings back bad memories.
I love Sharon. Have done since I first saw her when I was about 9. First saw her in the fearless vampire killers. Best vampire film ever. She was thee goddess in my opinion.rest in peace Angel ♡♡♡
I was there in 95. We didn't know there was a new house being built. The gate to the new house was open, so we drove up and parked to look around for the Tate house. Didn't know we were at the right location until later. Someone came up to us and asked us to leave.
Was hoping to get a glimpse of Valentino's Falcon Lair, still standing until 2006 (owned by Doris Duke, died there in the early 90's.) Down the hill was Falcon Lodge on Cielo which was basically next door to the Tate property. Duke converted what was Valentino's stables into a guest house, the Lodge. Today, in 2020, Google Map really shows the layout of the area...
George, I forgot to say thank you for showing pics of the "twin house" before it was torn down; shortly after the main house was demolished. That was nice to see. Carol
Thank You Carol, I appreciate that. George
George Smith Hi George. I will be in Los Angeles from April 20th - April 24th. I would love to meet you while I'm there. Probably can't happen. But let me know if you do want to meet. I can arrange it.
+George Smith Hi George. You seem to know alot about the history of this property. Do you know if Michelle Morgan also owned and/or had the twin house built? Just curious. Thanks for your time.
@@carolgladfelder219 It was built by the same designer for someone else around the same time I believe.
The original house was gorgeous - I understand the
desire to destroy it after what happened. I've shed a few tears for those people and their family. That new house is a garish, gawdy ugly thing. It's like a golden calf encrusted with rhinestones 💩
horrible I hate the newbuild.....the old house so much prettier...and suited the landscape..they should have left it alone..done something with it as a memorial.....
Who knows. Maybe one day.
Would have been a beautiful place for a memorial. But of course the landlord would have preferred that cold hard cash I guess.
Oh my God, that drive up Cielo drive was haunting, those lovely innocent people, it thrashes me the Evil,at least the people lived,then died miserably to regret it.
Beautiful cielo drive
Thank you for that comment. You are so right that, they took down a historical house just for money. That property will always be stamped with Sharon Tate's name on it. George
George, what a beautiful video!
Thank you very much.
I have a plan of visiting LA and memorial spots of Sharon from Japan.
George, they had just torn the original house down in 1994 and you can see in your video how quickly they are building the new mansion on the same property. How sad that must have been for you to see this. :(
*And the new property is haunted according to its owner.*
@@Ralph_Smith0724 No, not true. You are talking about a different property owned by David Oman whose house (10100 Cielo Drive) was built about 150 feet away from the Sharon Tate old house property location (10050 Cielo Drive). Look it up if you don't believe me.
If there was ever a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time it is Steve Parent. Its just like our media to barely mention him over "the beautiful Sharon Tate" kind of sickening don't you think. We are so celebrity fixated and guess what them and us all wind up in a 6 foot hole. What a waste of energy.
After reading multiple articles and reports of the Manson murders, I can't help feeling sorry for Steven Parent and William Garretson. Parent, who died for no reason, and Garretson who was emotionally scarred for life. Neither had anything to do with Manson's warped agenda.
@@rollydoucet8909 The other people they killed, including Sharon Tate, really had nothing to do with Manson's warped agenda.
@@TheIndependentLens Correct. Manson had no idea who would be in that house. However, he instructed hi crew to kill any and all who were there.
My man you are so on target about the old Cielo Drive. Thank you for watching the video. George
The new house is almost as ugly as the murders were. The old house was a beautiful property and like it or not a piece of American history.
True it was but it also was a reminder of the evil that occured there, that house and setting was beautiful serene and lovely but those murders and what happened there tainted it forever, it will always be known for that night, Charles Manson's name will be forever connected to it throughout history so some people may of wanted to destroy that memory and build a new image to represent them and their lifestyle not to mention many wouldn't have wanted to live in it the way it originally was inside again for what happened there so as i said earlier evil tainted that house and stole whatever beauty it had.
@@michaelsinclair3321 Not quite true. The house had several tenants after the murderers. Keep in mind that Polanski had rented the house. He didn't own it.*
@@Ralph_Smith0724 tenants yes perhaps but (not Owners) which is what i was implying, i never said (it wouldn't didnt get tenants) or (that is was owned by Polanski or Tate) but to own it after what happened there was my point as to perhaps why they The people who bought it tore it down and rebuilt a new mansion on that sight
Every murder house should be torn down. Insurance should cover that.
Since they tore it down, they should've just built a memorial.
My friends and I went last night. It was so eerie. God bless the spirits
If I were to ever win that much money I would also have that mansion torn down. (IMO, that was so disrespectful to Sharon & the other victims) In honor of Sharon; I would replace it with some type of non-profit, no-kill, animal shelter. She loved animals and I think that would make her very happy.
The house there now is a monstrosity!
Did Rick Dalton chase you away holding a jug of margarita?
Silo mixing and mastering...lmao,,thats him for sure
Lmfao 😂😆 I bet he did!!!?
Great video. Beautiful music.
In the area where the house was now, according to tenants and neighbors in the area, paranormal things happen. I have a program where they were investigators of these phenomena in the area and they made a session of spiritualism in one of the houses where Sharon Tate was supposed to be and the result was shocking because one of the flames of the three candles on the table was twisted as if an invisible hand was touching her and the same thing happened when the spiritualist asked "are you here Sharon? if so, give us a sign" and suddenly the flame of the candle bends and all of them suddenly go out completely dark, After a while the spiritualist noticed a strong pain in her belly as if they were attacking her. Also for the day she claimed to see the spirit of a woman in the house but could not know if it was Sharon or another of the victims. One of the owners held a small party with his friends and they all claimed to witness how incorporating voices were heard inside the house when they were in complete silence.
@@blockerhall4532 - lol "Session of spiritualism, anyone?"
thx for the video !!!!!! music is perfect
The McMansion that’s there now is gnarly.
This is so Amazing George. Same road l'd walked that morning in september 2015 Cielo . Very nice but Very sad that they tored it down .Very nice music. 😊👍
Magnus, HBO use some footage from this videos for an HBO Documentary Special on Jimmy Lovine and Dr. Dre.
THE DEFIANT ONES - HBO DOCUMENTARY
George Smith Nice .l got to see that documentery 😊👍
that house was to big. I liked the original. one better
What an eyesore that they built on such a beautiful hillside. People are idiots. But some are rich idiots. Lol
You probably saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In the movie DiCaprio's character lives in a house next door the Polanski's. But actually there wasn't a house there, right?
I don't think so. The neighbors would have been down the drive. "Once Upon Time in Hollywood" was an "Inglorious Basterds" treatment of the murders at Cielo Drive.
@@ledepi34There was never a house next to the gate on that side of the road, as in the film. The nearest neighbours were at 10070 , 100 yards from the gate, but on the other side of the road to the film. This can be seen on "Google Maps", where you can get a 3D image of the surroundings to Ceilo Drive terminus. Unfortunately with "Street View" you can't "drive" the last climb from the junction......
@@SuperNevile So Tarantino created it. I have been wondering if the production created the whole street or part of it...
Thank You, I appreciate that. george
I don't know what it was like in 1969, but I drove by there a few years ago and there are hundreds of houses nearby (and you can see many of them in this video). How so very, very few heard gunshots and screaming is a head-scratcher.
A neighbor heard the shots as well but after hearing nothing else went back to sleep. I'm not sure if it was the shots that killed Steven Parent, but it probably was since those were outside.
blue shadows yeah i believe it was the Kotts who lived in the house nearest the gate of 10050 who heard the shots, they were having a party and i think it ended very close to the time Tex and company arrived
Brilliant video should never have been torn down it wasn't the houses fault that brutal crimes happened it was the sickos who committed it. Thank you for the beautiful music by Enya.👍👍👍
That's a haunting song.
The song is so depressing. I had to put the video on mute. 😰 There was a young man who also was killed, as he was driving away. He had visited a friend, which lived in the guess. He was there to sell him a radio. I can't remember his first name, but his last name was Parent. 🙏🏻😰
Steve Parent 😢 Only a young fella too 17 maybe 😪
It’s a shame they’d already razed the old house. In 94, Trent Reznor took the PIG door with him and made it the front entrance to his recording studio, a formal funeral home on Magazine Street. I understand the door is now in the hands of some weird murderabilia guy in New Orleans. Not exactly sure where now though.
Thank you George for the video and Enya's lovely song "Only Time". I'm hoping to find a 1969 era film of the same drive you took but right up to the gate. There must be something out there for such a famous crime. I'lll let you know if I find anything. I can see how drivers could see the Christmas tree lights stretched along split rail fence in front of original house. I understand they were left behind by Candice Bergen when she and Terry Melcher moved out.
The new house blights the landscape of the canyon.
Even finished that house is an eyesore.
@@TheIndependentLens You are right about that. Horrible monstrosity.
Hi Carol, Yes I did get to see the house before it was taken down. I first went there in 1975 and it felt like I had been there before, maybe in another time. I have a video called Hollywood and Sharon Tate House in my videos, check it out. Thanks again for the nice comment. George
George Smith damn you went there just 6 years after the murders
I LOVE Enya!! That sure is one ugly, gaudy house they replaced the beautiful original with. Good video!
Enya's music is perfect for this video.
Chris Tennant nope actually the opposite for any murder sight.
Great footage!
There are a lot of interesting comments here about the home. But I honestly am surprised that it wasn't torn down many years before it was. Altibelli lived there off and on for 20 after that years. But he had to deal with all those tourists, morbidly curious people and so on coming up to the property. If it had been my relatives who died like like or a lot of people it would have been very hard to ever live there again. The house was somewhat exploited by the rock musician who was the last one to live there. Guns N Rose's also.
It was Nine Inch Nails.
thank you for this
Hello Georg Smith, I really enjoy watching your videos, even if Sharon Tate always makes me very sad. I would have loved to see the Cielo Drive 10050 live. That's why I'm very happy that you are giving us ALL such great videos. In 1975 you were so close to the Cielo Drive 10050. I hope the translator translates everything I write correctly. I'm from Germany and I'm a very big fan of Sharon Tate. LG Nico
Sharon would’ve been gone 25 years at that time now she’s been gone for 51 years.
I love the music
I love all your videos they are so touching and beautiful
Bellissimo video unica Sharon saluti da Genova
Just saw your video. And I love the music for this clip
1994 was a crazy ass year in LA.
Very nice choice of music, I love "Only Time".
I absolutely adore and appreciate your work.
Very beautiful and
Informative. God Bless.
I believe French actress Michelle Morgan lived in that Tate house back in the 40s... I can't help it I call it the Tate house but it was really owned by someone else... I can't believe they tore that rustic little home down and built that monstrosity it looks like a sultan's castle for some reason
They say Henry Fonda, Olivia Hussey, and Lillian Gish spent time there as well
Very cool,doing the Helter Skelter tour soon,bummer so many main places...Spahn,Tate house in particular are gone....can't wait!!
Thank you for that, I appreciate your comment. George
Very well done!
Always enjoy your vids George, hope to see more...Thanks to your mom too...
This is a great video and the music seems to fit it perfectly! I've never been up that way and I more than likely never will be. I'm glad that the old house at 10050 is gone. I read that the new house at 10066 it's owned by TV producer Jeff Franklin who did "Full House" and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" among many other things, (but I'm not sure if that's true.)
No, it is NOT true. The property was bought by some billionaire from another continent. Can't remember which one or his/her name. Anyway, that property has been bought & paid for. But I still hate that he has been demolished and re-placed. SO SAD.
The old LaBianca residence on Waverly Drive is still there from what I heard> I couldn't tell you- I don't live in LA.
WoodstocKenny Zak Baggans from Ghost Adventures bought this house last month.
That's the year they tore the house down really too bad.
I was sad that the original house was torn down. it should have been preserved so other people can visit because it is still part of our history.
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT COMMENT. I TOO WISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PRESERVED. IT WAS A WONDERFUL HOUSE AND A BIG PART OF MY SHARON TATE MEMORY. GEORGE
George Smith can you imagine if the house still existed, and we could visit it? wow....
***** I agree Mari. It would be great if that beautiful home/property were still there. I just don't get why some people keep wanting to DESTROY older property and replace it with so-called "progressive" mansions, cluster-crammed & concrete jungles. Just makes me sick.
just like the lizzie Borden house. it's sad what went on their but we still look. out of respect I think.
+Tim Gavord I agree Tim. This is meant to be respectful, NOT diabolical.
My god the mansion they replaced the old house with is hideous, it looks like someone perched a vaguely Mediterranean themed prison on the hillside.
