For those claiming that Liza was abusive to step mom #3, she didn’t raise Liza. She was only married to Liza’s dad for six years before his passing. He left the mansion to Liza, but asked her to take care of step mom #3. If Liza needed to sell the mansion, she was to provide step mom with suitable accommodations. Liza bought her step mom a condo. Liza did care for her for years. Step mom refused to leave. Liza had paid step mom’s bills and staff for years, until she had to sell the mansion. No one expected step mom to live to 100. I doubt that Mr. Minnelli would have burdened Liza with a quarter of a century of care for a woman that didn’t marry him until long after Liza was an adult.
I just tried watching other UA-cam videos about the Minnelli mansion - wow, really makes me appreciate YOUR vlogging abilities! The others are so poorly video’d, fast sweeping of the camera, jerky movements, not staying on any one scene for more than a millisecond, and no history or narration. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you
Yes, there was one that was extremely hard to watch. I was waiting for them to vandalize something.
What a shame that it couldn't have been been restored to its former glory this was the golden age of Hollywood so much of it has gone
Years ago sometime in the eighties I did a TV special called Perry Como’s Hollywood. We literally did fifty locations with Perry singing at each. This mansion was one of our locations that we did late in the day.
You are being quite kind to Liza Minnelli. I remember when this was in the news. Vincent Minnelli had left his window lifetime rights to spend the rest of her life there. However, after he died Liza tried to force her out anyway. That's why his widow won in court.
Exactly! When Liza married David I read that he was behind Liza turning up the heat on Lee. They were trying to place her somewhere by force. They turned off utilities and water while she was living there.
That period 40s/50s in celebrity Hollywood history seems more tragic & haunting than any other.
Historical Society should have done something since Vincent Minnelli was a big time Producer. Impressed no one really squatted in the home or stole the curtains & chairs. Someone could have easily lived in it for free as it seemed no one was watching or complaining about the house being abandoned. Weird, being a pretty big Hollywood name.
You'll have to go by after it's remodeled. Would love to see it finished!
SunnySide Nursery ya, the sign did say remodel...
Sadly they tore it down
Still standing, it’s remolded
Liza looks so much like her Dad wow 😮
Thank you for your videos. I love old Hollywood. Your dog is adorable too.
They're not tearing it down. They're gutting the interior and adding more square footage. They did remove a room or two that were damaged beyond repair. The shell of the house that you filmed will remain.
Geshmake Good to know... Ty
They tore it down
What was considered a palatial estate back then is a starter shack these days sad but they were simply more elegant that the monstrosity's like the spelling mansion it gobbled up three historic estates I believe.. I wonder what it looks like today and if they used any of the original structure?
We love your adventures and we love Jah, too! I see this video with the ruins of an opulent life and I'm reminded that money can't purchase happiness.
Thomas Creamer exactly. you can't take it with you..
Judy Garland ,any of her homes should be historical landmarks!!!!!!
It was never her home. Vincent Minelli and his wife Judy Garland divorced and he purchased this home after that divorce and he lived there. he was a long time Hollywood producer independent of his wife's own career.
I'm sad to see the original mansion go but I'm glad that they are bringing life back to it.. hated to see all the damaged that squatters and trespassers did to it...
How about an update video to see what it looks like now remodeled?
you are my new fave. I love the old hollywood and some new. Your little dog is adorable and his sweetness is super special. Keep up the hard work! We all have to stay positive in these tuff times !
I love your format.. don’t change.. love to JAH!
I looked up the address....OMG it is on the corner of Cresent and Sunset....across from Gloria Swanson's home and the Beverly Hills Hotel....can't believe it sat there sooooo long and nothing was done. Super prime location....Very interesting...great adventure...Thanks
Some developers intentionally leave places seemingly abandoned to let vandals bring about destruction, thinking it garners less backlash for them destroying old historic homes for profit if they are abused properties. Owners are still the ones who did not take care, and allowed...even caused the destruction. Wealthy investors / homeowners may take the same route. Greed for more destroys a lot of our history and continues to pollute our environment through demolition rather than restoration. Tragic.
Its a shame they have not rehabbed the house. However, you could not PAY me enough money to live on such a busy location. Its like grand central station there. Constant traffic.
@@NicoleTongue It was taken back to the studs and rebuilt, with additions. But yes, the location is not good for a home. If I had the money to rebuild the house I would not want to live on a busy corner, practically sitting in the traffic.
The pictures that you shared with us were so sad. I can't believe that people have to damage everything they see...grrr! I hope the new owners rebuilt a beautiful home and remember in some special way to whom it once belonged! 🌼
I'm sure Minnelli never dreamed his fourth wife would live to be 100, I'll bet it cost Liza more to maintain the house than what she sold it for. That was a cruel thing for her father to do, considering that Lee was not Liza's mother. Didn't he leave his wife money, why didn't she maintain the house? If she couldn't afford to live there, she should have moved to something much cheaper to maintain. People be careful what burdens you put on your children.
Yes, better to sell everything & split the proceeds.
THANK YOU!! It’s sad, but it’s REALITY! Currently dealing with my father and his “$2 million dollar house”…fortunately it’s in a desirable area so the property has retained value. He’s owned this home for 35 yrs and has never done any maintenance, “same carpet it came with!” 😳 The roof caved in during last winter’s storm and it sat empty for over 6 months. The price tag just keeps getting lower and lower…remember, zillow can’t see the interior of your home!!
All the City Officials seem to know how to do is to tear down the famous homes of the very people that made the Movie Industry so popular. The Vincent Minelli home was once a beautiful home and now look at it. A travesty such is allowed to be done to the historical fabric of Hollywood History.
A Historical Commission should be established in the City to prevent such atrocities.
I’ve seen other videos on this mansion. I too always wondered why it was so neglected. Good to know more about it.
I tend to associate it with the tragic and dysfunctional lives they lived. Their success in movies was parallel with failure on personal lives... :(.
If the house had been sold back in the '80s upon Minnelli's death, it would've gone to the next owner, and so on, and probably maintained. It was in disrepair for far too long. Just like a classic car, they need to be maintained.
John L they go to hell fast if you don't use them.
Surprised it sat vacant for so long with real estate prices being prime there.
All the money that mansion must've cost Vincente. Shows you what's important in life, and what isn't.
used to drive right by this mansion when I lived in Los Angeles are used to think why in the world is this mansion sitting here dilapidated in the middle of Beverly Hills now I know
What’s the address .

I believe it was on the far end of Roxbury, going towards cold water Canyon
In 1980 I had been invited by Peter O’Toole and Bryan Forbes to appear at the Old Vic Company London as a cast member in Peter’s Macbeth. Following this, I relocated to Los Angeles with a general letter of introduction from Bryan. I had been given Vincent Minelli’s telephone number and duly called to see if I could arrange to meet. His wife answered and agreed, making an appointment for a few days later. When I visited, there was a film crew making a documentary about her cooking. As I was waiting to speak to her, Vincent walked down the stairs and invited me to follow him to an upstairs room. He was so pleasant and disarming, as if we were close friends. I was about 26 yrs old then. He sent for tea and it was delivered as a silver service. He sat in a large wicker peacock chair, and said, “as your British, shall I be Mother ?” ( a UK term for pouring). It was close to his birthday, as there were flowers on a low table with a card saying, “to darling daddy”. He was quite old, but not frail. His wife had told me on the telephone that when I meet him, I must understand that his memory is not very good anymore and that he may become confused. I never found that to be true. He had many of his own paintings on the walls and there were thousands of books everywhere. I did misunderstand him when he said “ do you like that painting”, indicating one on the wall. I thought he said “would you like that painting”. I didn’t answer because I thought I could make a real faux pas. He extended his hand, palm down, and showed me a ring he was wearing. He said Elizabeth Taylor had bought it in Egypt and given it to him. We spent the afternoon together in that green painted room, and later his wife joined us. I was mortified when I recently saw the house in ruins on you tube. Such wonderful people. He was from the ‘golden era’ of Hollywood, when being a star meant something. It’ll never happen again. It’s now definitely Show BUSINESS. PETER ROBERTS

Thanks for sharing your story! What a unique experience and it sounds like you both had a great afternoon 😃
You have one, smart dog. He's like a human!
Very much
Thanks for another great video, Jordan and Jah! 😘
Great house. I saw on another video where the house was still intact. Beautiful home in it's hey day.
I was there in August 2016 and they had just started working. All of the original building was still in place then.
So sad 😭 They should have gifted the mansion to me instead. I would have made it wonderful again. 💔
What a busy street.
Dee Dee’s Reviews First thing I thought too! Can you imagine the constant noise & dirt? So much for opening any windows ever. Although I'm sure when it was built it was far less busy there.
Restoration is not a word known to people in Los Angeles, only the two words of "tear down" seem to be known. From Falcon Lair to the many other homes now either torn down or changed in such a manner they are not even recognizable..
It's so sad to see it gutted like that. I've seen others tape footage of the interior, but its sad it will never be that way ever again.
I was glad to read this mansion is being restored. Jah sure loves you :)
Too bad Mama Chela’s Kitchen is permanently closed per 2022 Google info. Would have loved to try it out. I remember when they tore our little house down in Elysian Valley near Griffith Park. Even though our 3 bedroom 2 bathrooms front house with 3 apts in the back were built & then sold 5 yrs later in 1972 as a better replacement value wise, it was still an emotional sight to experience. It was sweet that Tom Russell, the actor Jane Russell’s brother, who was owner of the construction company, was at the site to give us moral support. He showed us a picture of all 5 of the siblings together as children with Jane being the only girl among her brothers. What memories..Thanks Jordan for sharing these memories as well with all of us who care to share them with you and precious little Jahster ..sweet dreams little one❣️
I have always been fascinated with this story. Thank you so much for going out there - it's sad they are tearing it down.
Adam the woo brought me here
I saw that the mansion was getting a remodel and an addition. Maybe it will be on the market.
Thank you for all the laughs. Every time. You & your dog are so adventurous. LOL!
Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to see they tore the place down.
+william dixon looks like they stripped it down to the frame and are rebuilding it new
It wasn't torn down but a to-the-studs rebuild and remodel with a two story add on was done. Beverly Hills real estate doesn't die, it's reborn. Pricier!
I don't think you are understanding what may be going on with this mansion. It's not being torn down. The permit is for a Remodel and Additions to be put on, They are just doing a gut job. Not sure why, but that permit was done in 2014. Maybe they just move very slow there, but that seems old.
tigergreg8 I think they're getting that it was torn down as the permit says ""Demolition, Remodel-Construction"" I saw the demo & thought it was being torn down also.
My EXACT thought Collette. Plus there are people working inside. That don't happen in a demolition, as far as I know. But not an expert.
Some parts in california they cannot due a " demolition" has to be a remodel. So what most contractors will do is they will leave 1 wall standing in that way it can pass as a remodel. Santa Barbara is that way.
so sad to see this. Adam did a video and I saw it. Just very sad. I love history and memories. I wonder how Liza feels about the house being torn down. I be crying. wby not keep it. just for the memories. I'm such a Leo.
She must have been devastated
Rev. Jenny Osorio I'm the same kind of Leo! 😉🦁
apparently Liza did not give a rip about it or she would have had done something about it long before. I believe she owned the home and sold it to whom ever they were dragging there feet in renovating the property. Her step mother lived there and Liza let her live there her final years. needless to say they did not get along at all.
what a cute pup
All pups are cute but it looks too much like a mouse of rat to me from the top side down, freaks me out
Finally seeing something with this house.I bet I passed it the last time I was in LA.
Jordan, what a Mansion and the stories that that beautiful place; must have had! Vincent purchased it after he divorced Judy! Oh the Hollywood, that we love and you and Jah, are keeping us informed! Thank you for the info.! 👍🐾👍
It looks a lot better than it did. I'm glad they're remodeling it.
What an odd story to this Mansion?? I'm really surprised more fans didn't walk through keeping some Minelli Treasures.
sad to see historic mansions being torn down. sorry the mug got broke. hope you like the coffee, we mail it to several friends who have moved away. the squeaky chicken was for our dog, but he totally ignored it.
it wasn't really historic, just a old run down house in a very expensive area
Wow. Sad. Old Hollywood history. Great vlog.
It's a difficult adjustment- becoming a young father- but you will make it. Jaws is darling. It's a crying shame that not even a bath tub, something, was not salvaged from Minelli home. It was a cool structure that could have been remodeled & would have kept historical value PLUS.
Sad very sad this should never happen again anywhere with any situation for whatever 😪
I hate it when pieces of history are destroyed.,,,,, maybe because they tore down the home I grew up in. I can be way to sensitive!
The house did not get bulldozed, it's just being remodeled. If the wanted to bulldoze it they would have not removed all the stucco and expose only the framing. 👍🏼⛏
Its a hisortic landmark Its still there
New subscriber! I have to admit I clicked on the first video I saw because I was like damn he's cute!...but then it was all about hollywood history. So cool. Love the channel. Adorable dog!! Yes Jordan I think you still are too.
The location is the real value. These old houses are in such bad shape full of asbestos from the 20th century. Best to build a new safe and sound home.
Such a shame it couldn't have been restored, a historic and beautiful mansion that held many memories
+Susan Irvin it looks like they are attempting a complete renovation, only keeping the skeleton of the house
Daze with Jordan the Lion it would have been cool to see more of the original structure left without a complete over haul, somewhat like Liberace's house, but I know everyone has their own taste/design, at least it wasn't demolished.
597! It's been fun watching you grow! I think I was #137 or somewhere close to that.
OMG.,,..love that baby! So sad about the house! It was beautiful in the day!
Minnelli put Liza in a horrible position. Taking care of parents is a very hard job. He should have just given the house to his wife. And not expect Liza to take care of her stepmother.
Agreed!
Yes, its a horrible position to be in. I am guessing Vincente Minnelli felt his wife Lee was "not all there" and cannot make decisions for herself, which is why Liza ended up with the house and figuring out what to do with her stepmother. After reading some of the newspaper reports about Lee during the last several years of her life, I strongly suspect thats the reason why Liza was in control.
I think she was his 6th wife! I can see why he left the property to his daughter..and at the same time he was trying to make sure his wife had a place to live! When Liza tried to sell it she offered her step mom a great place to live...the step mom refused and made everything difficult! Of course the step mom lived to be 100!
@@rosiegirl4751 | Vincente married four times and Lee was his last wife.
@@MoniqueFromPlymouth I thought I read 6 times...ooo do know Lee was his last wife..of 6 years! I don't think she should have given Liza so much grief!
You'd think the property would be worth a lot of $$. So strange this is abandoned.
Your fur baby is so cute. I'm amazed that they tore it down, the house had good bones. :(
TV and Film projector would a made great pricey collections
It's been a few months now... I'd love to see what they've done to it now?
So they're finally tearing down the Minelli Mansion? Too bad, because it should have been refurbished and updated, for someone else to live in & love. But too many people had gone through it, tore it up, graffitied the walls. I Love Jah. He is so cute.
I am from Canada so we have had Tim Hortons since the 60s and we Canadians love are Timmys!!!! Cheers from Ontario Canada ❤ Dorothy
Dorothy Cobbett ill take a triple triple
Hello JAH. Love the video ❤️
What a lovely dog Jah is😀😀😀😀
Jah is adorable, love his face💕
I'm catching up on all your videos.
I enjoy seeing Jah! The 🌟
That sign on the fence said demolition, remodel, addition. Do you know if it was demolished or remodeled?
Great vid Jordan .... great little Jah. Love to both from Australia 😎
I went inside in 2015. It was trashed but nothing dangerous. Everything was still there.
My puppy just went nuts when you squeezed that toy.
Why Liza leave the house like this? She’s the only person alive.. is the daughter.. it’s not his property?
I need more friends like you! My dream day would be to map out abandoned mansions and tour them. I'm a cheap date
My kind of woman! ;)
aw cute puppy take care of the cute puppy there are part of our family to
I thought it was under remoldeling did you go back to see if it was torn down or is it still standing and what it might look like it now
What a shame I would have fixed it up beautiful home at one time love it people don't appreciate homes now a days they just walk away like no big deal sad
I always wanted to buy it to make it a bed and breakfast/ wedding venue prime location.
well, there goes another piece of history.... now its just going to be another home for someone..... sad.... just sad....
So sad someone who was so much part of old Hollywood it truly sad that no one who care of it sad
Minnelli was a Homely Man
Rebuild the mansion and for re sell it that's briliant idea
Great, thanks bud. Now my dachshund won't leave my lap. He thinks I'm hiding a squeaky toy.
Keep up the good work love the vids
Your dog so sweet.
Not torn down, remodeled. Probably a very different place than when Minnelli lived there.
You and Jah make my day.
Jordan, enjoying your videos this AM... just discovered you. But... on this one, has anyone pointed out that Minnelli is misspelled in the title of the video?
+Jimmy Short you're right! My phone is the worst at changing things. Thanks for pointing that out. Spelling mistakes annoy me
Jordan I think you should visit the scary dairy in Camarillo and the Oregon state hospital where they filmed one flew over the cuckoos nest. I used to live around the corner from there.
Dog is so cute!!!❤️❤️
Sucks alright but thanx jordan showing what was left. Liza looks like her dad. Jahz hvn fun.. heapsa goodies... how thoughtful.
I worked in many of these homes as a metal refinisher always wondered who's property this was, everyone uptight and limp wristed. Thanks for sharing
Too bad you got there too late! I never knew that that was the house Liza grew up in.
you are one kool guy. thanks. i aways wanted to go to hollywood. Colorado
+G c thanks
Your puppy is adorable
