The OSA Headquarters in Hollywood
Since April 20, 1991, in the former Hollywood Guaranty Insurance building,
in close proximity to porno theaters and street prostitution, right on the
ground floor at the feet of management, a museum of a special kind has
been established, "The Ron Hubbard Life Museum Show," a life's
retrospective on "Superman Hubbard's Adventures" and his "prominent
accomplishments" for humanity. If Baron Munchausen had known of Hubbard's
adventures, he would have been green with envy.
According to what the museum receptionist said in August 1996, Gottfried
Helnwein also paid his respects to his lord and master, Hubbard, with a
visit of insufferable glorification: "Oh, yes, Mr. Helnwein and his wife
have been here to visit the show. They also have been here several times
up on the headquarters floors to visit Mr. Weiland, Mr. Rinder and other
representatives of the church, sometimes together with his beautiful
wife," reported the reception woman proudly. Helnwein is a known name in
headquarters and probably even more so by "reception," since she looks
everyday at the over-sized, polished stone slab directly in front of her
desk next to the entrance of the hall on which Gottfried Helnwein, as one
of only 20 Scientologists, what an honor for him, is immortalized until
further notice with a statement of praise for the great master.
Scientology leader David Miscavige, Hubbard's heir, had this giant slab of
honor put up, visible to all visitors in the entrance area for Master
Hubbard, who "dropped his body" and died a worldly death in 1986.
Set off conspicuously on polished stone, Gottfried Helnwein's misplaced
words of praise for Hubbard beam in the brightest light, as do those of
his friends from "old" Viennese days past in the

"Center for Art and Communication," Julia Migenes and Chick Corea.
Helnwein's quote with his professional designation underneath of "Award
Winning Fine Artist", consisted of a short statement;
"MANKIND NEVER HAD A TRUER FRIEND."
Celebrity Center International in Hollywood
A couple of streets up, at 5930 Franklin Avenue, also in Hollywood and can
be reached in no more than five minutes by car, there is a mysterious
castle-like fortress defended by tall, dark, spear-shaped pikes, the
"Manor Hotel": according to Scientology's promotional statements "The
ideal environment to go clear." In this hotel, managed exclusively by and
for Scientologists, which even has its own three-star Scientology
restaurant, there also resides the worldwide headquarters of the
"Celebrity Center International - Church of Scientology," to which all
famous and not-so famous Scientology artists as well as other illustrious
Scientologists belong: that is why it is called Celebrity Center
International. On August 3, 1996 this center celebrated its 27th
"birthday" with an evening gala in the hotel garden. The high point of the
evening was a star performance by rock musician Edgar Winter, also a
Scientologist for many years, and his band. Regularly vacationing among
their own kind under palm trees by the pool, especially at the end of the
1980s and the beginning of the '90s, Gottfried Helnwein and his wife,
Renate, bag and baggage, were feeling well here in this environment, and,
above all, were protected and shielded from the attacks upon his character
which got ever more vehement in far, distant Germany from 1992 onward.
Here both of them, without being perceived or recognized from outside,
could devote themselves at their own pace to their Scientology studies,
make new contacts, meet like-minded long-term friends and develop new art
projects or look up other stars in Los Angeles whom Gottfried Helnwein
could integrate into existing projects, such as "Idols of the 20th
Century" or "Faces." A close artistic relationship occurred in this way
with Michael Jackson. One thing that certainly played a role in this
connection was that Jackson's current wife at the time, Lisa Marie
Presley, was and is a fervent Scientology adherent, as are the Helnweins,
and, sometimes with her mother, often met with Helnwein in Los Angeles.
The "Manor Hotel" in Hollywood was the ideal location and starting point
for that.

Scientology Celebrities love the "Manor" Hotel
(from: "Celebrity" 295, 1996 CSCCI)
The two actors John Travolta and Tom Cruise may well be the most
well-known adherents and walking billboards of Scientology; they are still
helping Scientology USA in their unbroken popularity to increase their
successes, i.e., $millions worth of new memberships, courses, etc.

The Helnwein Interview in "Celebrity" Scientology magazine - 1989
The latest edition of the official member magazine of the "Celebrity
Center International Los Angeles" - "Celebrity" - minor issue 295 - August
1996, is graced by a full-page portrait on the cover of John Travolta with
the announcement of a multi-page interview with him in that edition:
"Interview with 'Clear' and Star of his new film 'Phenomenon' - John
Travolta." Every edition of this magazine, published at short intervals,
sometimes several times a month in the English language, contains a very
detailed exclusive interview with a high-ranking Scientology celebrity.
"Celebrity" is a typical propaganda sheet to attract people into
Scientology with famous names in the USA and elsewhere. It is available
free in almost all Scientology Orgs worldwide. It is regarded as the
highest honor among Scientologists to have your own, particularly detailed
interview in it, and above all, to have your picture appear in color on
the magazine's cover. This extraordinary honor has been bestowed in the 27
years since its founding upon 230 Scientologists worldwide, Gottfried
Helnwein from Germany among them. By doing that he has become a walking
advertisement for Scientology in Germany, a sort of John Travolta
leadership figure. Since it is almost always customary for U.S. Americans
to grace the cover of "Celebrity," with the display of his portrait on the
cover of edition Nr. 225, Minor Issue, in Summer 1989, Helnwein broke
through the dominance of American Scientology stars like Tom Cruise and
John Travolta. Helnwein was the new "Number 1," the Scientology painter,
the new star in his own ranks, pity that it the whole thing was only a
make-believe world which, negative for Helnwein, does not correspond to
reality and is only of use exclusively within the organization.
Certainly he was also being honored by this for his more than 25 years of
true and cost-intensive membership in Scientology. Scientology spared
neither cost nor effort to put Helnwein into the best fitting, best
possible light. Dick Zimmerman, as the photographer who took the Helnwein
cover portrait along with the other snapshots of him along with his son,
Ali, is himself a long-term member and is responsible for celebrity
photographs inside the organization.
Helnwein stands casually grinning at the observer from the cover of
"Celebrity" magazine in front of a selection of the most famous posters
he made, including that of James Dean, according to him the most sold
poster in the world, with
Helnwein & Scientology, Lies & Treason by Peter Reichelt, 1997 - Page 411
circulation of 250,000 copies and sales of 15 million DM, and one of
Marilyn Monroe. On the inside of the issue, the interview begins on page
8, the upper half of the first page is filled with a picture of his son,
Ali, sitting together with his father on the floor among various Helnwein
posters. Both are smiling happily and full of pride for the camera of star
photographer Dick Zimmerman. It may well be one of the few photos which
shows Helnwein smiling for once.
