MICHELLE MORGAN AND HER BEAUTIFUL CIELO DRIVE

- Michele Morgan builds her beautiful house on the hill in 1941 on Cielo Drive. Michele Morgan, famous French actress came to Hollywood in 1940 and builds this now iconic house that was full of history from movie stars and magazines stories on the stars that lived there. This house had many famous movie stars that lived there and many famous stars that visited there over the years before it was torn down in 1993. I have been collecting on Cielo Drive since 1972 and have found many wonderful photos and stories on the house. I hope you enjoy the video. George E. Smith
the house was lovely...such a shame it was demolished...the new house is a monstrosity...
Just like the monstrosity that happen there indeed!
Correct to both comment's, the new house is terrible, must have paid someone a lot of money to come up with that, you can take away every bit of soil every bit of grass, but for me it's still a terrible place!!!!! 🇬🇧🐩🐩🐩
Agree to all here. The present owner, who produced "Full House," wants $85 million for that ugly piece of crap. People thought that by changing the address they could change history. That's not how it goes.
She, and the house were beautiful and from a time that we no longer deserve. Paradise lost, for sure.
This beautiful woman and her enchanted home were briefly a bright light on Cielo Drive. I am so very sorry for the deaths that followed. She would never have imagined this was possible.
Such lovely photos of happy people and their charming home.
They could never have imagined the horrors that would befall its occupants, 28 years later...
Amazing how the house was built right up to a mountain/hill.
Wow, the 1940's decor fits amazingly in this home.
That's because it was Freench Country
A dream home for sure and the lovely ladies who lived there, Michelle, Candice and Sharon❣🕯🕊💋
Classy lady and her decor was beautiful. Shame the house is gone.
Considering that area is still really beautiful, I can only imagine it was even more so back when Ms. Morgan had the house built.
Yes she did ohh absolutley, it was I bet more COUNTRY feeling. It had charm
I read Michele Morgan's autobiography, it's odd that she was scared living at that house and was happy to sell it. She heard things late at night, footsteps outside, thought it too isolated (it certainly was when it was built) and didn't like being there alone. Candice Bergen, though, adored it, as did Sharon.
Michelle Morgan must have had a foreboding about the place even though it was picture perfect lovely. She moved back to France but was alive in 1969 and would certainly have learned of the horror that took place at her former residence.
You are right! Read that she heard weird noises!!!
@@suzannegirard6556 Yeah , it was Manson going through her garbage bins ! . . .
There was a lot of people that lived in that house that found it rather uneasy, also a lot of rather odd parallel events that happened to the people that lived there.
I know the famous parapsychologist Barry Taff has mentioned often that Benedict Canyon is like a magnet for the paranormal, something to do with the land itself, he deemed it a negative place, he also describes that some people that visited various parts of Benedict Canyon became sick again from past illnesses even though they were in remission.
There has been a lot of research in the field of locations having effect on the brain, some say it’s though some kind of infrasound not with a frequency below the lower limit of human audibility, that can create a feeling of or awareness of the paranormal, and also locations with Ley lines or certain rock deep in the earth
@@onionjohnny4998smart arse 🤦♂️😡🤡
What a beautiful house. Should never have been torn down.
Ageeed
It most certainly shouldn't have been.
Well, would YOU live there? I wouldn't, and I think few people would except for owner Rudi Altobelli, who lived there from the time of the murders until 1988, so I see no alternative but to tear it down.
@@jn8ive60 yes I would have lived there. Wouldn’t have had a problem with it. The act itself was horrendous but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the property. It could have made someone a beautiful home but what was built in its place is disgusting.
@@KS-me3xq Okay, but most people wouldn't live there. If a house has a macabre history, most people are reminded of that with every minute they spend in the house. Even houses which were the scenes of murders far less notorious than the Manson murders are difficult to sell and the realtors are usually forced to drop the price, so imagine to what a far greater degree this would be true of 10050 Cielo Drive. Rudi Altobelli, who had already owned the house when the murders occurred, finally sold it to one investment realtor, who sold it to another investment realtor, and then it was rented to Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, who wanted to and did use it as a recording studio. Trent Reznor was one of the few people out there who would actually be drawn to the house's macabre history, but even he couldn't take it in the end. He moved out in December 1993, after less than two years, stating, "There was too much history in that house for me to handle." I happen to agree with you that the French Farmhouse Murder House was more attractive and more tasteful than the mansion which replaced it, but the fact is that it was going to be a white elephant for the rest of its existence, an empty, useless reminder of Charles Manson and senseless murder.
LOVED THESE PHOTOS THE HOUSE NEVER LOOKED BETTER, GREAT CLASSIC STYLE
It’s very difficult to watch this video without tears.
WOW, the house looks so different from when the murders occurred in 1969. The landscaping without the bushes, trees and the inside is so different. The inside of the house was decorated so beautifully!
Of course, it was Michele Morgan's house and it was beautiful inside
What a find! THANKS FOR SHARING!👍
Wow so beautiful, she never knew what horror would take place there.
Ikr. That picture of her in the living room with it looking so homey and beautiful, just knowing what took place in that same room . . .
Btw, Michele Morgan lived to be 90 years old and died in 2016, so she I'm sure learned what happened in her old house back in 1969 when it happened.
@@TheIndependentLens She did, and claimed that she'd always found the house unsettling and creepy, but of course that's probably just hindsight talking.
@@jn8ive60 You are so right!!!! Read that about the house.... She said she heard weirds noise.....
Sharon loved Michelle's home
Anyone would it was beautiful...the style everything so much nicer than the ott monstrosities you see in Beverly Hills...reminds me of an english cottage....
She sure did , Sharon called it her love house I can see why . It was a beautiful home and it sat well in that area.
linda lee it was a french farm , it looks like a british cottage i agree with you 🥰 love it !
She called it her Love House they moved in the day after Valentine’s Day 1969
Loved the house then, it was probably redecorated over time, still very homey and welcoming.
It was most certainly redecorated over time. When you compare the interior shots of 1942 to the interior shots of 1969. most of them are unrecognizable as being of the same house.
I hated the couch..... just disgusting....
@@suzannegirard6556 yeah it wasn’t the best but maybe back then it was in style, the house is gone and a huge white modern mansion sits there now.
That house would make me feel like I'm in heaven
Matthew L. Till the Manson family showed up
I know it was so pretty
Wow, brilliant video, beautiful house. Terrible what happened there. Sharon Tate was one of the most beautiful women to ever grace this planet
Indeed !
How heartbreaking that such a horrible tragedy happened there in such a beautiful place. Even the Cielo part of the name is Spanish for Heaven.
I love that
Wow a real beautiful home. So much better to see it this way. Yes, you did it justice. Wonderful job, thank you
TFS! I can see why Sharon fell in love with the property. Shame that it was demolished. I can understand why. Thank you for the gorgeous pics!!!
Sue poch true but with the residual negativity of evil and sadness tinged with tragedy in essence still lingering on the property 50yrs later i dont see how they couldve kept the house as it was i wouldnt be able to live there im very sensitive to that sort of thing i probably wouldve had daily nightmares from the aforementioned risidual tragedy and evil essences that still saturate the place today . A newer and bigger house and changing the house number does NOT change the fact thst five innocent people were killed for no reason . Stupid to try to change the landscape . I think the big mansion in place of the other house is ugly and doesn't belong there . I wouldn't be able to live in that house either because I'd still feel the essence it's not something I can control It just hapoens. It's not fun for me at all I never asked for this so called talent .it does suck at times let me tell you
@@ernestinemaloy6752 There was no evil essence in the house after the murders. Olivia Hussey lived there and she said she felt Sharon's good energy protected her.
I guess the demolition was inevitable, with the escalating value of real estate property in LA and the fact that anyone knowing the history of the house would never feel comfortable sleeping there. Still, it's sad to know it was torn down and replaced with the building that stands there today.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis The original owner, Michele Morgan, said she heard ' weird noises '
Thank you so much. These pictures show the inside of the house in the elegance and beauty it was meant to be. It should NEVER have been taken down.
Very well done, thank you. Its a shame houses aren't built like that these days. Ugly steel and glass boxes are being built all over Beverly Hills.
WHY did they have to tear that jewel down??!! we are a hopelessly disposable culture.
Why do you think? Nobody wanted to live in place where such horror had unfolded.
I totally agree , Bruce.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis they didnt tear down lizzy bordan house
Wow, you did the story of this house justice! I have watched your other videos & I am so sad the house was destroyed. The house was not to blame for what happened there. I feel like they punished the house for what people did. The people should be punished, not the house. I love your videos. Great job!
Totally agree!
I just finished watching Tarantino's film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Some of it is nicely done(the characters and screenplay) but its more kitschy then I was hoping for, so it's sort of like a Satire film but some of the movie is decent. I give it a 7.5 out of 10. I liked it a bit better then I thought I would as Tarantino is not in my Top 10 of filmmakers.
@Cleo Fierro Did Rudi own it when it was rented to Tate and Polanski?
@Cleo Fierro I read that Manson had a beef with a record producer, not Tate. Why did the Tate party get killed? Was it a case of mistaken identity
ua-cam.com/video/ijgV2AW0UGk/v-deo.html
You got your answer about Rudi . He lived 30 years in the house after the murders
I was looking at the pic of Michele grilling a steak. During WW2 meat, esp choice cuts of same were strictly rationed. She must've had connections. Also the living room showing the ladder and the crossbeam where Tex slung the rope that awful day. A very sobering memory. I was in Vietnam at the time of the murders and remember reading about it in Stars and Stripes. Thanks for your research.
Thank you,.
BEAUTIFUL ❤️❣️ HOME!!!!!!!! FROM DAYS GONE BY!!!!!!🌅🏡
Such a beautiful house
So very nice...I get high on nostalgia. I just found you and I have enjoyed 3 of your videos so far. Your choice of music is very well thought out and relaxing. I was 9 when the tragedy took place and my Mother explained it to me. I've been intrigued ever since and have always felt so sorrowful for Mrs. Tate and the others. Thank you Mr. Smith for sharing with us your wonderful works in video and God Bless.
Thank You Scott, for that great comment on my video, I really appreciate that. Scott, come visit my facebook page at ( 10050 Cielo Drive by George E. Smith )
George Smith yes George I will visit your page with great anticipation. Thank you so much for keeping our blessed Ms. Tate alive in our hearts and souls. Be blessed.
This actress reminds me of my mother when she was younger. Lovely home. You did a very nice video and remembrance to the beauty of the love that was put into the house.
There was a sister house at 10048 Cielo Drive. It sat below 10050 Cielo Drive. Beautiful.
Amazing
Well-done sir.
Wow! Amazing!
Very,Very nice.So calming,yet so horrible.
Little did Michelle Morgan know that years later all hell would break loose at her. House.
It’s so funny to see the view down the canyon with absolutely *no* homes on it! The 1960’s and 70’s would see big changes to that view. The house was so glamorous and stunning when it was new. Thanks for such a wonderful video.
Thanks for sharing this famous address that has been shown in much negative light, Obviously this address holds a special place in your heart. It was conceived in beauty. I wonder how the TLB murders affected Michele. It was a shame that she was not more successful in America Cinema. But she did outstanding work in her native country France.
What a beautiful house, such a shame it was demolished.
Hi George! Great video!! I had never known who owned the house before Terry Melcher lived there. The interior of the house is amazing. I’m not familiar with Michelle Morgan but I wonder if she lived long enough to see what became of her lovely house. Little did she know when she posed for the picture on the ladder , and the “PIG” doorhow infamous that door, ladder and beam above it would become for all the wrong reasons 😞. Thanks for making your videos so tasteful and classy ❤️
Michelle Morgan passed Dec 20, 2016, in France. She likely did hear of what happened at the home.
taper candles very sad she knew of the tragedy
Very Nice video George, nice song though the house hostel great tragedies that should never have happened
She must have been heartbroken to hear what happened there.
Thank you
The situation with this house and land is similar to a situation that happened in Boston about 6 years ago. The site of the Coconut Grove nightclub fire, where 492 people died in 1942, had been a parking lot and garage ever since the club was demolished after the fire. However, in 2013 a developer bought the land so as to build luxury condos on the former site of the nightclub. He went so far as to relocate a memorial plaque to a new spot, which misrepresents the location of the original building and as such the location where much of the loss of life occurred. He also never told the buyers who eventually bought the condos that their property was sitting directly on the site of the fire. Apparently this was done on purpose to increase the property values. It raises some interesting ethical questions about re-purposing land where tragic events have occurred. There have been similar controversies in parts of the United Stares where Civil War and Revolutionary War battlefields have been paved over and developed into shopping malls.
God I love this house!
wonderful!!!
The builder of this house also built basically the duplicate house just below this one. As a matter of fact, there's a switchback trail leading from the front yard of this house, down to the 'lower' house, as it was referred to.
Yes the old house was beautiful. It had charm and character. The new house / villa is just inappropriate and I don't understand why the old house on Cielo Drive was just torn down. For me, it took a large chunk of Sharon Tate, and that's really sad.
Quelles femme une beauté et c'est bleu
Une femme qui avait du charme et c'est yeux bleus magnifique parfait dans tous ces films a ne pas oublier cette grande dame
A beautiful house in a beautiful location.
Nice retrospective George! Kudos.
The style is almost reminiscent to modern farmhouse now. So it doesn’t look out of place
i love rustic charming homes like that, in a way im sad it is gone....but i understand.
I don’t think I could live in a house where such violent murders took place.
Watching this on November 2018.. Honestly if I had money at the time, I will buy the house and make it as a museum of Sharon Tate. So people won't ever forget about her. It's not about the tragedy that has ever happened, but it's about the legacy. Too bad it was demolished.
Cassie Silver Well, what you say would have been a great idea, when I found out about the murder and discovered Sharon (which was not long ago) I was very sorry for the tragedy, something that never should have happened, and I think like you, I would have kept that house as a souvenir of Sharon museum type so I would remember his legacy, I think that although we never forget Sharon when they knocked down the house also took down part of Sharon and the other people who lived there which I am very sorry, in any case the only culprits are murderers, that rubbish, which I hope will Stay in jail all your filthy life
The house is long gone, demolished in 1994 and a McMansion has popped up in its place.
I know so sad, all the way around.do you know if anyone lived in it after that
@@Js-hm1yo its tragic all the way around. I would of bought this treasure an if they wanted to stay in the house.they would be more then honored to stay.
Też tak uważam,źle się stało.Piekne miejsce i z historią życia ludzi tam mieszkających.
Ten film to czysta magia. Jestem oczarowany piękną muzyką i zdjęciami. Michelle tak jak i Sharon miała świetny gust. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam
I think it is sad that this amazing beautiful property has been wiped off the planet, and replaced by an ostentatious over the top gauche ‘Hollywood’ mansion.
This was a very beautiful property and I wish it could have been loved again by another owner. Maybe get someone to come in and do a spiritual blessing of the house to remove the feeling of tragedy.
If I had the money I would tear down the ostentatious mansion and build a replica of Michele's beautiful home just as it was when she lived there with furnishings and all.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have enough money to buy and tear down that current structure and rebuild the Morgan house to exact specifications?
Such a beautiful paradise and to have such awfulness and terror happen there, what a shame.
Happier times.
Thank you, George! I always enjoy your Cielo Drive collection; love seeing happier times during it's early years before the tragic events of 1969. And 2017 will be seeing me get in touch with you regarding buying your great books!! Great job as always :-D
How ironic that these pictures would be taken six months before Sharon was born. What a lovely home! If I ever win the lottery (ha! as if!) I want to build a home like the Cielo one. I don't like ranch-style houses, but this one has always had a spot in my heart.
Btw, was it ever known what Michelle Morgan thought about the tragedy that befell her Love House?
sad that they tore it down. Michelle got to see them tear down her once home :( it was a beautiful home
Even worse, she had to read on the news what appalling a crime happened there!
New subbie here! I have always been interested in Sharon Tate and her house. My mother took me to the movie theater to see Valley Of The Dolls. I was between the ages of 8-10. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing!
it was a beautiful home. never been in it. but, from what pictures i've seen. i really do like it. i heard there is similar house not too from tate's house
i believe it is on the same hill but further below the hill from this house.
mike descoteaux It was a 'twin' house which used to be located just beneath this house. So sad that both homes were demolished.
I would of loved sharon's house.just feels so peaceful even tho the tragic event that happen. I wish I could of purchased It
Quelle belle femme j'adore même encore je regarde c'est films avec beaucoup d'émotion
It was a beautiful house. Such a tragedy that happened there. Also sad that they they torn it down just to build a big ugly cookie cutter mansion.
I personally would have bought the house and made it into a museum of Sharon Tate Jay Sebring voytek frykowski Abigail Folger and Steven parent
Glad you included Steve Parent. With him being an average kid of middle-class parents, he is often forgotten when people discuss the Tate - LaBianca murders even though he was the first one to be murdered.
That home looked so bright and beautiful but , by the time Sharon got it , it looks dark and gloomy .
r.i.p to the souls lost in that home
Not true. There are pictures of Sharon there where it looks bright and cheerful. Also, keep in mind that many of the pics in the video are focused on the house itself where as the pictures of Sharon and Roman there, they are focused on the people.
You are right!!!! Saw photos from when Michele lived there and it was so white and beautiful but not the photos I have seen from the murders
@@TheIndependentLens Did you see that ugly couch!!!!
Stunning.
Song is Unchained Melody, BTW.
Love story of Cielo Dr . 💜
Amazing how she built it for $32,000.00...you can't even get a mobile home for that price today. In 1969 it was valued at $200,000.00 which now depending on where you live will only get you a home in a middle-class neighborhood. Just for additional perspective around 1916, Douglas Fairbanks paid $35,000.00 for what later became the famous Pickfair mansion in Beverly Hills. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton etc... bought their Beverly Hills mansions for around the same price as well. All worth millions later on.
Such a beautiful place, so sad it was torn down for that gross monstrosity that occupies the site today.
It’s too bad Michelle married and moved to Europe, who knows what would of been if she stayed there, she would of been too old during the 60’s era to party like the people who rented that house,. Sharon Tate would of never been there and nobody from C. Manson family would of never had know about that house either. Sharon would have had her son and two daughters and a future some where else.
If you have 1 child you usually try for 2. And if you have 2 then you have to have 3, the third one will keep the other 2 from fighting, and give mom a break. LOL. Besides Sharon needed a little girl that looked just like her.
All the best sunshine. S.T.
I always wondered what that grille was next to the fireplace, i thought for wood storage for the fireplace but now i know, thats brilliant u can cook a steak lol
Are there any homes like this still standing anywhere in Los Angeles? I'd love to see one up close
There was a "twin" directly below it ... but was also demolished.
@@tommyodonnell9 No there all monstrosities.....to OTT all trying to outdo the other.....awful.....I hate them....went on a tour around BH......so OTT....Im from UK..
Google Robert Byrd(Architect), he designed this house for Michele and when u click on his wiki it has a list of addresses he designed, all of them are in LA and similar to this! :)
The master application for the original house at 10050 Cielo Drive lists the architect as Arthur W. Hawes.
Hey George, I noticed there's color post cards of the house on eBay. I can't imagine a post card manufacturer capitalizing on this kind of a tragedy, so I suspect they are from an earlier time. Any idea when that photo was taken and what the story is behind it?
I SAW THAT JAMES, I GUESS SOME PEOPLE JUST LIKE CIELO DRIVE.
The bar near the ceiling in the living room had a rope draped over it and around 2 of the victim's necks. Makes those cozy homemaker shots take on a new perspective.
It looks such an 'Un threatening' house... Not 'grand', quite unremarkable, of the type seen in the Alps of Europe.
It wasn't the House's fault...But I understand why the house was taken down.
Who would want to live in a place with such a sad history?
Rest in Peace all who were killed that night.
I prefer it like this it looks beautiful and cosy it never looked cosy to me when the Tate’s live there ❤
I can only imagine the parties that happened @ this place during time when Melcher and Lindsay lived there
@Melanie Jarrett yeah. The strong rumor is that Sebring stiffed Manson for dope and that's what the trigger was. The helter skelter was a diversion to make things look like someone else did the dirty deed.
@@michaelotten2724 Are you crazy!!!! Where did you get that shit!!!!
@@suzannegirard6556 I've don't a shitload of studying. I've also done a shitload on the Kennedy assassination. Go figure out how many presidents were involved in that!

@@michaelotten2724 Where did you get that shit?????
Magnifique époque, acteurs et actrices merveilleux...mon Dieu dans quel monde affreux vivont nous ! Aujourd'hui...je ne savais pas pour l histoire de cette maison...merci...c'est terrible.cest Michèle qui avait fait construire cette maison....quel terrible histoire, j en ai froid dans le dos....
My mam and dad were in London when they got married and seen them leave the registry office .Sharon and Roman .
How horrific events could happen here? I can even see the exact window that Tex climbed through to unlock the door from this angle. SCARY!
What would she have thought had she of known what would happen there...
Back when class still existed. Very sad it was demolished and replaced by that hideous mansion.
Why'd they tear it down? Haunted? Hard to sell?...
charj67 no one who lived there after the crimes reported anything paranormal. I suppose when the owner, who I think was the same guy who owned it when the crimes happened, and moved in himself afterwards and lived there for a long time, put it up for sale, and the new buyers chose to knock it down and rebuild. Sad, because it’s such a pretty, homey, cozy looking house....but I guess most people wouldn’t want to live where something so terrible happened.
Love this video George…. Sort of nice to see it the way it was at the beginning… Very beautiful!…Why is it that nowhere… Absolutely nowhere are there any photos of that third bedroom and bath off of the kitchen? I feel like I’ve seen everything that’s out there and I’ve never seen that room! Lol
The savagery of the events that took place in this beautiful house in 1969 is so utterly terrible and incomprehensible that your heart breaks, no please not this house, not in this peaceful place, not to lovely Sharon......you scream NO over and over...
And it's still incomprehensible to think what happened there.
I have read that Michele Morgan who has this house built live alone there, and she heard ' weird noises ' .....
Well, what you say would have been a great idea, when I found out about the murder and discovered Sharon (which was not long ago) I was very sorry for the tragedy, something that never should have happened, and I think like you, I would have kept that house as a souvenir of Sharon museum type so I would remember his legacy, I think that although we never forget Sharon when they knocked down the house also took down part of Sharon and the other people who lived there which I am very sorry, in any case the only culprits are murderers, that rubbish, which I hope will Stay in jail all your filthy life
The people who had it torn down were idiots . And have no taste in house design. It's ugly asf . I can understand why people wouldn't wanna live there but the house was so beautiful .
The house is just a sow's ear. She built the house around HER. Even threw in a bad painting. A house overlooking a smoggy basin isn't any better than one overlooking the ocean. Both cold and eternal. Better to live on a street where there are people. I'll bet the marriage didn't last.
Sad sometimes everything celebs touch turns bad
They should have left that house alone instead of tearing it down
Really good ... but had to play it muted. “Unchained Melody,” FFS. 🤦♀️
0:25 the article states Cielo Drive is in Beverly Hills, is this correct? I
Not Really. Its Benedict Canyon which is tecnically in LA not within the Beverly Hills city limits.
Such a gorgeous house to have such a bad memory attached to it.i heard Olivia Hussey moved in after sharon &her friends were murdered. I haven't been able to read the book but I will soon.must have been some bad karma in that house from somewhere. Olivia's boyfriend showed up there &almost beat her to death.strange to see before&then after the murders. I'm one of the ones who never want the killers paroled.really bothers me when they go up for parole. I hope mr Newsom keeps them locked up.though I am worried from what I'm reading.
The killers will never be paroled...no governor wants that on his political record.
