- During a trip to LA in 2011 (for my USC Masters graduation), I took a rental car around to see Judy landmarks! Her Stone Canyon house and McCadden Place house are here as well as the exterior of MGM Studios in Culver City. I tried to go on the lot but the guard girls wouldn't let me! I've wandered them before (even got inside Soundstage 25!) but not this time. I did, however, manage to walk around a bit INSIDE Stone Canyon! What an almost religious experience THAT was! Enjoy! PS: I was VERY tired when I did this so please don't make any comments about my sounding drunk or stoned-I don't do either.

So great that you went inside! Some old-time stars stayed in their homes for decades. Too bad Judy didn’t; this house is gorgeous. I was a child actress in the 50’s & 60’s, & loved the MGM lot. Coincidentally ended up buying a house a few blocks away in the mid 70’s. Makes me sad to see the Sony sign every day when I pass by. Judy’s daughter, Lorna, & I became best friends in high school in West LA (1971). By then Judy was gone & Lorna lived with her dad and younger brother in Westwood. Thanks again for the tour!!
You’re welcome! Boy, I’d love to talk to you! It would be awesome to hear your story.
It is a good thing that the MGM property in Culver City, California became SONY PICTURES STUDIOS (Sony, Columbia, Tri-Star). MGM was not maintaining the facility and needed major renovation which is what SONY did with it. Deep pockets were needed and MGM didn't have the money or the desire to maintain it. The studio was originally Triangle Studios (Charles Ince).
I Am A Perennial Lover Of The Movie Business. I Had A Few ( Under 5 ) Stints In Several Movies In The Early 80's. I Became Friends With Some Of The Movers & Shakers Of That Era. Being More Of A Stage Performer..I Returned To NY & Had Decent Success, Off-Broadway, Bus & Truck, Etc. Most Folks Don't Grasp That ( Movie People ) Are Regular Human Beings Who Happen To Be In A Biz Of Notoriety !! Entertainment People Are Zany, Interesting &... Fun !!!!!
I worked in Culver City 2005-2012, about a mile from MGM (Now Sony) across from Culver Studio (RKO, Howard Hughes Desilu) I used to meet people that worked on backlots when they were children. Still in great shape.
Sold on Judy's talent when she sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow in the Wizard of Oz...what a voice and talent she was!!! Still melts my soul and always will.
Love that you went into the house and filmed it. Thank you.
My God. I remember the photos of her standing on those very steps 💘💘💘
Yes! So many photos of her and family, friends, inside this house. Lots of old memories. Just drove by it again last week when I was down in LA-it's still got the same energy.
how could this happen this house should have been protected from this destruction
I've toured the studio. I got to stand on the actual soundstage where Judy Garland sang Over the Rainbow, and saw the soundstage where Munchkin Land was built.
How did you get a chance to do that?
Yeah, me too, Roberto! I used to live and work in LA back in 1980-84 and knew someone who worked on the lot. So I met her for lunch in the MGM commissary and wandered around the entire lot afterwards. Went inside soundstages 14-25. Talk about a RUSh!
@@drewnitchoff I belong to a home theater forum that organized trips to movie studios. I've visited every major studio--Sony (the old MGM/Columbia lot) Paramount, Fox, Universal, Warner Bros, and Disney. I got to hold an actual Oscar at Disney. That was a rush! I've been to the Nakatomi Tower seen in Die Hard, saw the house that Shirley Temple stayed in, saw where the parting of the Red Sea in The Ten Commandments was filmed, the Bates Motel in Psycho, village locations in the classic Universal monster films, saw the soundstage where Sunset Blvd. was filmed, and much more. I've seen many of the costumes worn in films (you might be amazed at how SMALL Hollywood stars are). Oh, and I've been to the old Forrest J. Ackerman mansion. That was a HUGE rush for fans of SF and horror movies! Loved seeing the Metropolis robot, a Bela Lugosi costume, models used in the original King Kong....just great stuff.
@@gwindematteo934 Love it, Gwin!
@@robertromero8692 I've done all the above and lots more. More particularly, when I was a kid, I did a backlot tour of MGM in 1963 while they had just filmed Mutiny on the Bounty. I got top see EVERYTHING including the Bounty sets etc. And NOW........it's all gone. Nothing remains. It was probably the greatest of all the backlots ! What else would compare ? All that's left......my memories.
Thank you for doing this. Love Judy Garland.
How exciting to see!! I've seen pictures of her posing on that staircase. Thx so much.
At 16 yrs old I was still living at home with my parents & babysitting. Wow.
Judy was and still is the best. Thanks for the tour
I know at one point Judy lived next door to Lana Turner and their daughters, Liza and Cheryl, used to play together. In fact one day the girls decided to switch parents so Cheryl spent the day with Judy and Liza with Lana. They switched back after supper. Judy and Lana got along really well. Would have loved to have heard some of those over-the-back-fence conversations.
I would put a big picture of her from the period she lived there on a wall.
My Grandfather worked at MGM AND so much of Culver City which is now condos and banks was once a part of the studio.
My Mom was invited as a guest to the infamous MGM Auction-I remember seeing Judy’s Ruby Slippers!!!!
It’s horrific how so much of SPLENDOR and GORGEOUSNESS of Hollywood has been torn down - like the Garden of Alla or the Garden Court Apts. on Hollywood Blvd, I used to walk past it in the early 80’s after the punks moved in and christened it “Hotel Hell.”
If only these walls could TALK!
On McCadden, down the street from Garland's house is the "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" house where Bette Davis and Joan Crawford filmed! 121 I think!
Really? I didn’t know that!
Jane n Blanche Hudson's house was/ is 172 S McCadden Place, which if you go to google.maps you'll see how close! Cool...right?
I just thank you so much for taking the time to do this AND share it with the rest of us! I love you!
Judy’s house on Stone Canyon Rd is actually located in the Bel Air/Holmby Hills District of Los Angeles, rather than Beverly Hills.
I really liked the looks of that house
Atta girl! I would’ve gone in too. All they can do is tell you to leave, right? No guts, no glory!
Fascinating. I love old Holllywood and to see this close-up of the Garland "manse" and of the MGM "gate" was thrilling. Thank you.
Me, too!
That was fun! Thank you for sharing!
Hey Joan how ya been?
The game shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy are taped in the same studio that was Munchkin Land, I had heard that some of the yellow brick road might have still been in the studio under new flooring that was installed on top of it, and the trap door that Margaret Hamilton went down when she disappeared when she first encounters Dorothy might still be there as well
To think she had that much money in 1938 to buy this home before she became one of the biggest stars at MGM
We can all dream.
So cool!!!
Thanks for the tour!~ Yes, old Hollywood rocked! So much fun!
You have the garbage today!
If you had gone to the other entrance further down the road you would see the entrance used at the start of mommie dearest.!!! Where all the stars arrived in their limousines.
Simpatica y bella judy. Me gustaba ver sus peliculas
Man I love her .. I'm with you girl
Judy paid for everything and ended up with nothing. No one worked harder than Judy.
The houses remind me of them when they were on postcards in the 30s and 40s, color tinted. GORGEOUS home, but the price tag compared to what it was in the 30s shows the level of GREED and inflation since then! Thanks for sharing...bet Judy's spirit still resides there!
Oh, yeah! She’s definitely still there!
I've seen pictures of Judy standing on her stairs. Unfortunately this probably wasn't the first renovation through the years and different owners. Would have been great if it was left the way Judy had it.
We Love You Judy!
Thanks Gwin! I'll post on your page the picture I have of Judy standing on the stairs. Great video you made.
It was actually being remodeled the first time I saw it summer of 1980. It was yellow for awhile.
wow, even with all this Judy led a very sad and painful existence.
No she didn't. Stop with that nonsense
@@brkitdwn You're right, but people are more entertained thinking it was sad and painful.
I dont understand why she sold the first house it was prettier than the one she bought afterwards
It is my understanding that the first home was just a rental. Judy had the next home built for her mother where her mother remained for some years after Judy left the house to get married to David Rose.
@@lgf1748 the home that she had built is my favorite. It had that gorgeous brick walk way with the stairs. It looked like an airy little Eden
I wish i can bought that house soon💝
How amazing it must of been to actually be there
It was! I only wish I’d had the guts to go upstairs.
I wish I had the money to buy an old celebrity home I’d make it A memorial and let fans do tours
Me too i wish i can buy that judy garland's house b cuz she's favorite fan💝
Judy signed her contract for $100 a week. How is it possible she lived in that house, then purchased the other one ? Doesn't make sense. I know $5200 a year was a good salary then, but two homes? Something doesn't add up.
By 1938 Judy was paid $500 a week and her mother was paid an additional $50. Eventually Judy's salary would be almost $6,000 a week before she left MGM.
Oh my auntie Rosie was alive she used to be a huge Wizard of Oz fan and I did not know anything about Judy Garland I knew that she was a big turn starsince 1936 through 1939 and I know that she’s with my auntie Rosie and Elvis Presley and Mickey Rooney so I am a special-needs adult and I live with my father and my brother are you still watch the Wizard of Oz every Easter so my momPassed away from a brain tumor I wished that I lived in California because my sister and my brother-in-law lives in Porter Ranch California
It Is Very Sad.
Will they let people inside her childhood house in Lanchester?
Correction Wizard of Oz was filmed in 1939 Judy was born in 1922 she was 17 when she did wizard of oz.
Talk about Judy playing Dorothy started when she was 15, filming started and finished when she was 16, and released when she was 17.
Thought we were going to see inside
She only lived there from 1939 to 1941.
I can't believe you went inside Judy's house! That must've been amazing, imagine all the things that happened there. Thanks for sharing. How did you know the house was being renovated, and how did they let you in?
Gwin DeMatteo in a abba
Kelly Norman Why so much animosity? Judy Garland worked her tail off. She deserved to have a beautiful house built. Although I'm sure it was the mother that had charge of everything. Judy Garland went through a lot in her young life which is a reason for her wallowing in drugs and alcohol plus the wrong men. Give the woman a break.
What is the purpose of the bushy tree?
The camera is moving MUCH TOO FAST!!!!
Thank you for pointing that out. I was nervous being where I didn't belong. You know you can go to settings and slow the playback, right?
2023 this is valued over $11M
WOW-and it last sold for 6.7 mil! Nice return if you could get it.
I wouldn't live there if she is a ghost in this house.
How long did she live in the house?
The house that Judy’s mother wanted, using Judy’s money.
The first house wasn't worth 500k on it's own. It really is locstion, location, location.
Was that really a residence she purchased? I ask because I heard Judy and Liza say they didnt own a house and used other people's houses to do interviews as they were embarassed by their own. Im sure you can find this on youtube
Thats very interesting. Thank you for clarifying that. Nice to see a real Judy Garland fan on here.
Very interesting to see inside. Here's the house on Street View for those interested www.google.com/maps/@34.0964142,-118.449828,3a,75y,241.56h,81.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sTBp8w1-YGFRGdJ6V7GiXdQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
In Italiano grazie
who live there now
Was she daughter to liza minelli or was liza minelli judys daughter
Melicia Liza is Judy daughter
What's sad is the information Betty White's home she lived in with Allen Ludden for many happy years was demolished immediately after it was sold.
Also James Stewart's home was also demolished by some foreigner (oil sheik?) who said the house "was a dump." This from a nincompoop whose family once lived where and in what?
Now the edifice looks like an abortion that only states "I got money." No taste, no class, no hope. Hell Jed Clampett knew not to mess with things he knew little about.
Even Lucille Ball's home is being gutted. I understand when someone buys a property they have a legal right to do whatever they choose to do, but gesh, no homage to the film history actors and actresses that once lived there?
Sad, very sad.
Not being a snob but ppl from countries like that rarely handly money well when they get it. I was brought up with little but watched my family handle what they had pretty logically.
To bad and sad that Hollywood moguls really destroyed her life for their own profits
Judy Garland's house is cool but those Hollywood homes they're pretty but I don't particularly care for them because they're not Victorian that's what we have on the east coast is a lot of Victorian homes
@@gwindematteo934 I only like Victorian houses to leave and that's why I have one but other houses are pretty much just not my style however a friend of mine had a house built exactly like the Bewitched house because he always like that show when he was a kid I told him that that was actually on a movie lot that nobody ever lived in that house it was just for TV shows
Mgm killed her
They ruined it.
Atta girl! I would’ve gone in too. All they can do is tell you to leave, right? No guts, no glory!
