Phil Hartman's house for sale
AGC Queen
The Encino home of the late Phil Hartman has a "sold" sign on it. It is in
escrow at close to its $1.2-million asking price.
The house was put on the market after the comedian, a former "Saturday
Night Live" star who was a regular on "NewsRadio," was fatally shot by his
wife, Brynn, who took her own life, in May 1998. The five-bedroom,
4,000-square-foot house behind gates was originally listed in August at $1.65
million. It is being purchased by a local businessperson.
Patti Potter of Re/Max on the Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, has the listing,
sources said.

Scott Hamilton, Olympic-champion-turned-TV-figure-skating-analyst, has
purchased a home on Lake Sherwood in Thousand Oaks for about $1.5 million.
Hamilton, who co-founded the Stars-on-Ice tour after winning a gold medal
in the 1984 Olympics, also loves golf. His new home is a few minutes away by
golf cart from the Sherwood Country Club, where he has played the sport for
years.
On Monday, Hamilton hosted the second annual Scott Hamilton Circle of
Friends Invitational Golf tournament at the country club, which raised $150,000
for Target House at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
Target House, which opened in May, is an $11-million facility that houses
families of children undergoing treatment for cancer. Hamilton, 40, recently
announced his recovery from testicular cancer, diagnosed in 1997.
From his main residence in Denver, Hamilton was browsing the Internet,
looking at houses for sale, when he discovered the listing for his new home.
Built in 1921, the house was renovated in 1998. The four-bedroom,
6,000-square-foot house has a private boat dock and lake views from all of its
six levels. Hamilton is installing an elevator.
Kevin Lehman and Ken Calcut of the Prudential California Realty had the
listing.

Emmy-winning actress Barbara Babcock, who played pioneer newswoman Dorothy
Jennings on the series "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and in this year's Dr. Quinn
TV movie, has sold her Greene-and-Greene home in Pasadena for $695,000. She had
bought the home in 1987.
The buyers are Michael J. Murray, screenwriter and supervising producer of
"Michael Jordan: An American Hero," which aired on the Fox Family Channel in
April, and Kelly Craig Jones, a psychiatric social worker with the Los Angeles
Unified School District.
The Greene brothers, known for their Craftsman and California bungalow
architecture, designed the two-bedroom, 2,400-square-foot home in 1906.
Boyd Smith and Maggie Navarro of Coldwell Banker Previews had the listing.

Guess that's why whoever bought OJ'S former home tore it down and is
rebuilding on the lot!

Same thing happened with the Sharon Tate/Roman Polanski house in Los Angeles.
The house was bulldozed to the ground and a brand new, much larger manse was
built on the lot. I think I remember reading that the people involved with the
rebuild even got the house's street number changed in an attempt to thwart the
parade of looky-loos who used to cruise up to the property's infamous gate at
all hours...

Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
Then it's okay, because he's a mile away and you've got his shoes.

Actually, I believe those are multiple homes--condo-like--on the lot now,
and that portion of Cielo drive is now marked as "private". I was up there
years ago--before the house was demolished--and it really did feel isolated.
The address of the La Bianca home was also changed.

Same as with Nicole's condo. I believe the address numbers have been
changed....

I don't want to sound all wacky/nutty, but I imagine those vibes are
probably still on the premises, new house or not. And part of the vibes
would be from simply knowing where you were.

how you would get rid of those evil/murderous/violent vibes. Guess just
not buy a house where an infamous murder took place! Works for me!

That doesn't sound nutty to me -- I've heard too many stories from credible
sources about houses having bad vibes, ghosts or whatever you want to call
it, to dismiss the idea. Hopefully the new owners will get a feng shui
priest to improve the vibes.

from that house. A week before his passing I was sitting al
fresco at the Jerry's Deli with a friend and Phil was in his
car stopped at a red light
directly in front of us. The
day of his passing the
helicopters were constant above
my street all day - I had known
he lived in Encino, but didn't
know he had lived so close.
Having seen him so recently
made it an even more sad day.
And for the record, the Tate
house used to be 10050 Cielo
Dr. and was changed to 10048 I
believe. Imagine that Doris
Day's son, who was Manson's
actual target that night but
was residing elsewhere the
night of the murders, moved
back into the house after the
massacre and lived there for
some time! Some twenty years
after the murders, the house
was torn down and "Villa Bella"
was erected in its place. It
is an 18,000 square foot
Italian Mediterranean mansion
that is currently listed for
sale at $8,900,000. It was on
the market for far more after
it was built but no one seems
to want anything to do with it
(and there are many propective
buyers who could afford it
L.A.). I recently saw it
listed in a real estate
publication and of course there was no mention of the
massacres. i imagine it will
languish until Marilyn Manson
has a couple more hit albums.

I was following you fine until that last sentence. What do you mean?
I don't doubt it's languished. Even if there's a whole new house built
on the property, like I said, just knowing where you were would be
enough for feeling funny about the place.

Speaking of the Tate house, Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) recorded parts
of his last album (circa 1994) there. Specifically for the vibe, iirc.
There's a story about when he was still friends with Tori Amos, she came
over to make him a chicken and it refused to cook - no matter how long they
left it in the oven adn turned up the heat on the oven, etc. All of which I
remember from reading RS a few years ago, so i could, of course, be wrong.

I was recently skimming through a Sun magazine and there was an article on
Hauntings. Supossedly the guy from INXS, who killed himself, still haunts an
stadium(I believe in Australia) where he used to preform. Guards have reported
hearing him sing some of his songs through the speakers late at night.

Ah, that's not so creepy. I call them "mystery chickens". I've had
'em, too, in various non-weird houses. Occasionally, the damn birds
just *will not* cook. Surely I'm not alone in this (well, other than
my mother, who has had "mystery chickens" of her own).

Poor planning on your part does not constitute

There's a knob usually located close to the top of the stove. If you rotate it
in a clockwise manner the chicken will usually start to cook faster.
I'm not tense just terribly, terribly alert.

There is a famous story that Sharon Tate foresaw her death. Before she
married Roman Polanski, she lived with hairdresser/drug-dealer Jay Sebring.
The house he was renting in Benedict Canyon was the home that Paul Bern (old
time actress Jean Harlow's husband) killed himself in. Sharon was up in the
master bedroom and heard a woman's shrill scream. She saw an appartion of
Bern's body slumped on the floor. She ran downstairs and at the bottom of
the staircase saw her dead body and that of boyfriend Jay Sebring. Of course
years later he was one of the several people at the house murdered with her
(in a house not far away that overlooks Benedict Canyon). The killers tied a
rope around her neck and over an exposed beam with the other end connecting
around Jay's neck. After she had this experience/vision, she allegedly
described it in detail to others who corroborated that her vision strongly
mirrored the circumstances of her death.

And to think I thought I could cook 'em by mindpower!
(Yup, cranked the oven. Potatoes cooked. Chicken didn't)
