    I heard the reason that Hearst was so stingy with the alcohol wasn’t because he was a Scrooge but because Marion Davies was a dependent alcoholic and he didn’t want others to be drinking when she was recovering.

    My husband and I visited Hearst Castle in 1978. You can even see a few of the zebras & other animals cared for on the property. The ocean view and landscape is truly beautiful and breathtaking❣️Thanks Jordan for sharing this extensive tour with us. Thoroughly enjoyed this video at night. The actors added to the ambiance of the vlog. ❤️🙏🏻

    Anytime day or night the Hearst Castle is cool to see. Put a nice perspective on the “social atmosphere” with the character actors there. Plus each tour guide puts their own perspective and antidotes of the history. Glad you (we) got to see it again!

    I remember how grateful I was that he was rich enough to be able to build this castle and decorate it with beautiful ancient paintings, ceilings, and furnishings from all over the world. These things are preserved and well cared for. For all to see, wondrous and wonderful!
    My favorite of all is the underground pool, blue and gold tiles. Yes, real gold. The diving platform. The elegance of it all. To swim in that would be the most awesome experience of my life!

      Would you be so grateful if you were standing in those soup lines? He ducked property taxes so the government couldn't even help the people as much during the Great Depression. It's all pure selfishness. Look at what Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have given to the world. So very few wealthy people do the right thing with their wealth. I've come to hate rich people quite deeply who don't do good in the world.

I lived half of my life in southern California, and unfortunately never made a trip up to see it. Thank you Jordan the Lion for these tours! Had I been Wm. Randolph Hearst, I would have been buried there.

    Oh! Jordan! You zoomed in on everything I wanted to see up close. I thank you for that.

  • @lemorab1
    @lemorab1 6 років тому +6

    Jordan, your photography is wonderful, zooming in for closeups of all the many architectural details. Better than some "professional" documentaries I've seen. I've been to Hearst Castle twice: in 1961 when it was barely open to the public, and again in 1996 when I got to see all the rooms you just showed us and a few more guest cottages. Three books all aficionados of La Cuesta Encantada should read are: "Lulu In Hollywood" by Louise Brooks; "Slim: Memories of a Rich and Imperfect Life" by Slim Keith; and "The Moon's A Balloon" by David Niven. If you can find it, Sheila Weller wrote an article about Patricia Van Cleve, the secret daughter of Marion Davies and William R. Hearst, and their descendants. This was called "The Legacy Of San Simeon" in the 1996 Vanity Fair Hollywood edition, out in April, I think. This may be in a collection of her work somewhere. "Lulu" details the escapades of Hollywood's Bright Young Things of the 1920's, and their ringleader in mayhem, Pepi Lederer, Marion Davies' niece. Pepi could break all of WR's rules with impunity and she did. I won't spoil anything, but I really urge anyone who loves Jordan's San Simeon videos to read these juicy books and enjoy.

    Hi Jordan. I was up to Hearst Castle years ago when I was in High School and can't remember much of my visit other than the outside. You did such a great job filming this tour...it's so great to revisit such an important place in the 20th Century history of California and frankly the United States, as the Hearst Company was a huge media machine. Your channel is so great...I've been binge-watching during COVID!

  • @leggettnada1
    @leggettnada1 5 років тому +3

    Wow this place is amazing I can only imagine the staff that was employed there. The cleaning, the cooking, the up keep of the grounds etc... I can honestly say that I could never live in a place like that because it's to big. It really wouldn't feel like a home to me. All in all it's a beautiful place and a jaw dropper. Thank you Jordan for this wonderful vlog. Have a wonderful day.

    Great tour! I’ve been maybe 6 times over the years. We use to go often in summer months when I was a kid. San Simeon itself is a beautiful little town as well as Cambria, a few miles south. That indoor pool is so beautiful. I remember the tour guide saying most guests preferred the outdoor pool as the indoor had no shallow end. Thanks, Jordan! 🙂

    Jordan, I loved watching every minute. I have been to Hearst Castle a couple of times and each is memorable for different reasons. Different times of the year and different times of the day did make a difference- all good. To see the light and shadows cast on the buildings in your vlog only enhanced the visual experience of your vlog and imprinted a new version of great memories of a very beautiful place.

    Our family took a month long driving trip out west during the '70's and we visited here. Back then, you had a choice of either an inside tour OR an outside tour. We took the outside tour and saw both the outdoor and indoor pools. Back then the outside pool was filled with 💦 water and it was truly awesome! Sad that it isn't operational now. It would have been cool for your vlog. You would have loved it. Maybe someday soon it will be. This tour, however, was great. Never saw the interior and we were there for a full exhausting day! Thank you for taking us with you, and for your keen attention to detail (as always.)
