- This Apartment is the very, very last HOME of Jim's beloved SOUL MATE- PAMELA SUSAN COURSON!!!... You fans of all things "DOORS" should rest assured that this building is THE DE FACTO residence... I aver that fact because too many other "DOORS FAN" SITES FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON UPLOAD ON THEIR SITES THE APARTMENT BUILDING AT 108 SOUTH SYCAMORE!!!...
This place is not really a dump. It’s actually in a nice neighborhood, and back in 1974, it would have been even nicer than it is now. I have been inside that apartment. It is the one located to the right, on the bottom floor. The current resident was kind enough to let me inside when I was visiting for research. He knew about the history of the place, and had a book about Jim and Pam by the front window as a memorial. There are several sources of incorrect information circulating out there about her last place of residence. Nice video to share with the fans and those interested.
Exactly. I live about a mile away from there in a slightly nicer neighborhood and that 'dump' probably rents for around $3K a month. I'm guessing the maker of this video had to come down off his perch in the Hollywood Hills to record this and found it appalling. lol
Many here are writing it was the upper apartment.
Was the book there as a memorial perhaps Angels Dance and Angels Die by Patricia Butler? That is a great read on Jim and Pam. Probably the best really as it goes back to the childhood of each and isn’t just focused on Jim. It is also very non judgmental and takes into account the young age of the two of them, without straying into them being “ victims”.
Many do not realize the portion of the brain responsible for reason and logic does not fully develop until the age of on average 27-29 years of age.
You were very luchy that the resident let you in. Cheers...
She also didn’t see a penny of his money.
@@carolcarpenter7133 According to the book "Break on Through", by James Riordan and Jerry Prochnicky, Pam received about $160 thousand. She had to wait till the estate was settled which too a couple years.
In 1974 that apt would have been much newer & nicer.
pinkyt67 and it's in a really nice area. I wouldn't say no to it!
Me neither! It looks pretty funky and bohemian. And the 'hood is really nice.
So true. L.A. just degenerated. It was lovely.
Yes before 50yrs been newer
And on your left , doors fans , is a tree that was growing in the exact spot it was growing , when Pamela lived in this apartment !
Thx for the laugh, doors fan!
😂
I was thinking the same.😐💖🌳
Jim's brother and sister should have inherited his estate, not her sister.
@Sara Mill No, The Morrison's sued the Courson's and they ended up settling. Each families got half of the Estate.
@@sarahdaw6648 That's what I thought, thanks and that's how it should be.
No, no, no. She lived on Love street ... lingered long on Love street.
DeadBunny69 she lived on heroin street, shot up long on love street.
+Opulence Phoenix funny
Jamie Martinez 💉😮
Yea and sailed the crystal ship to heaven.
she lived on oj way
That 'dumpy' apartment probably rents for $3K a month now. At the time of his death, Jim's estate was reportedly worth around $400K, and today is worth $80 mil. Split between the Courson and Morrison families. But I imagine there was a lot to sort out after his death, so she may not have had access to it. And she probably had her mind more on her drug habit than on her finances.
She never received a dime . It was a court battle and she died before she seen a dime
@@mkultravibes7763 Correct!
@@angeliner59 Does seem likely!
Thanks for doing what you do Clyde. I have been a Doors fanatic since time began and a fan of all music and lifestyles of the sixtys/seventys, so your work is very much appreciated. Please keep it going! Cheers.
Just wondering What is it about the life style that you gravitate to?
@@runrabbitrun4342 Jim Morrison is a Legend. We are interested in Pamela because Jim chose her when we know he could have had just about any woman he wanted. Pam was beautiful and there is something very mysterious about her that attacks our attention.
@@lauriekase8745 How many women would have tolerated Jim's alcohol abuse?
I'd heard that because they weren't formally married, lawsuits started around Jim's estate and she never saw a penny of the money.
Great video especially to those of us who remember and lived through those magical days and years! I don’t blame other generations from being jealous.
It looks very nice there! I wonder what it looked like in 1974
Hey Clyde the address for where Jim lived with Pam was actually on Rothdale Drive off Mullholand . This was the inspiration for the "Love Street" where the creatures would meet and Jim could see them from the back balcony when he was there.It was the only place that the couple lived for any real length of time and Jim could visit his favorite bars and restaurants with his friends and bandmates....
"Love Street" was the San Souci Temple where a former GF went to get drugs. The word "LOVE" is written in the street in front of the mansion.
The neighborhood looks nice. Why dumpy?
Pam sure looked like trouble which apparently Jim appreciated.
Sad sad state of affairs.
He was so bright, talented, beautiful and self destructive.🙏🙏🙏✝️❤
You're exactly right. He loved the uncontrollable.
@@adday. My feeling is...he came from a military family...and that in itself means you are in a very controlling environment!..So, as a young man, he reveled in not living a controlled life--a little too much! Man, as a very average-looking guy, if I had been blessed with his great looks and intellect, I would have been happy just to "go" with those aspects!
God was smiling on him the day he was born but at the end the demons got him.
@1:14 or so: "Why did she live in this Dumpy ass apartment?"....What are you talking about? That is one of the more desirable neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Sure, perhaps she could have been living in a large mansion or at least a single-family house with all of Jim's money. That said, that area off of La Brea Avenue is far from being a dump!!
I do not live in LA, but thought this was a charming older structure; one in which I certainly would not feel bad about living in!
To be honest - it doesn’t look like a dump to me. She was 24 years old, just lost the love of her life and was completely lost soul until her death. It was a nice place considering where she was at in her life. What was she supposed to do- by a mansion for herself and the drug dealers that she knew. She had no clue about how to go about any of that stuff without a partner. It was Jim who bought her that shop not Pam - she was just a kid really
You are being too sympathetic, about someone who flirted with Death, until Death called her number.
I have always believed if Jim had chosen a different mate things would have been different
"A dumpy apartment looks alright to me."
I live about a mile away from there in a slightly nicer neighborhood, and I'm guessing it rents for around $3K a month. Hardly 'dumpy.'
@@zyrrhos Truly not a bad place at all...but I wonder if there is a high crime rate there?
If she was his soul mate, why did he not live with her full time,cheated on her, etc. Sounds more like a codependent relationship. They were both substance abusers...look that up.
Lol. My, how you have conformed to the societal norm of marriage, living together, etc. All his songs are about her, she was his muse. She KNEW she was his #1 COSMIC MATE regardless of how many jump offs blew him off bc he was famous (also knew about Pam and still did it - lol grimey bitches). IF A MAN SAYS PUBLICLY THAT A WOMAN IS HIS COSMIC MATE - BELIEVE HIM. LOL. You're basically implying that Jim didn't know who he loved "THE BEST". 😉🤗
You are so correct! Heavy drugs warp relationships to the max!
Are you perfect!? Don't think so!
@@carrieannesoucier6101des barres was a grimy b for sure I’ve never liked that woman…
very cool!
even though Pam was Capricorn not Sagittarius. this is a great video. wish we can go inside
Not a great astrological match.
she had the moon in sagittarius. Jim had that sign in her sun. so that's why they were compatible on the side of being somewhat philosophical
Maybe not coincidental she died at 27. Pamela was very despondent and longed to be the with Jim. James 💖 Pamela RIP.
Trying to locate you you’re awesome all the things you do in and drive around and the influence makes me want to come to LA and do the tour I really appreciate all your hard work man thank you so much there’s so much to see before it all goes away I hope I can get over there and meet you in person one day thank you my name is Eddie Murphy from New York
I don't think the estate was settled until after she died..so no money..
I thought I read that after it all went through the courts that Jim's parents received his estate. I could be wrong tho, but Pam was just a girl friend and his family had the stronger legal entitlement.
@@maryk6192 Jim's estate went to the Coursons. Actually her father controlled it until his death. I am pretty sure that Jim left everything to Pam. Unless Corky gave anything to Jim's family, they got nada.
Jim adored Pam... I believe that Pam had love for Jim, but wasn't deeply in love with him... Jim was just another avenue for drugs and the higher than she was used to, life... Then, along comes Jackass Jean de Breteuil, whom Pam really loved or desired more than she did Jim... Anyway, The Courson Family should have shared with The Morrison's... Jim didn't do himself any favors with his health, but neithe did Pam... And, let us not forget that Jackass Jean de Breteuil probably is responsible for Janis Joplin's death too...
Thanks for that info. I had read about him, but new absolutely nothing about him. Very intersting.
Ya know, what has happened to the concept, that ALL of us are responsible for our behavior, including living on the edge? No one slammed drugs into her, she enjoyed it, and paid the price. She was not a kid, by any means.
Thank you!! For your interest,and great research!💗💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Dump ? WTF ????
That's an upscale neighborhood
Al least in was in '74
I wish Pam allowed Jim's family to view his body. There wasn't a funeral for him. People need closure. Pam didn't allow anyone to have closure over Jim's death.
I think she was afraid it was her fault as there is speculation Jim tried some of her heroin
That's because she was a bottom dwelling JUNKIE and she knew it was her own dumb ass that got Jim killed. Total piece of ***t
He died in the bathroom of the Rock and Roll Circus ***thole bar in France, of a heroin overdose. His body was moved to the bath tub because nobody wanted to get busted, including the bar owners and that piece of ***t Pam.
That is true more to this than anyone knows rest in peace Jim, 🏝️🎤🎶🎶
Sad to think that Jim Morrison’s family got none of his royalties when they money was at its peak and now her family is squandering it all for people that never even knew him.
Luckily in 1980, Jim’s parents after expensive and lengthy court battles, they were awarded to split 50/50 royalties with Pams parents. His royalties seem to continue to grow because of all the interest in Jim Morrison’s life and death.
If that is true , that would be a perfect scenario. I believe Jim has a brother and a sister. I m reading Robby Krieger s book at the moment and it seemed back then she wasn t really into the band all that much.....
The royalties were at their peak in the 90's, so Jim's family benefited.
But don't worry about Jim's parents not receiving most of the estate money--His dad was a Rear Admiral, and those very high-ranking military types get lavish pensions, medical for life, etc. I know--I was in the Navy when Morrison died, and actually met his dad, just briefly...He was a handsome guy himself, back then.
Pamela just won the estate of Jim Morrison it was a long battle and she died shortly after she got the estate
Just as well...we know that the money would have only financed her nasty drug habit. So tragic.
If wasn't for his "beloved" Pamela Jim would have lived longer. I read that it was Pamela's drugs that Jim died from. Pamela was nothing but a leech who spent all her money on heroin. Maybe that is why she ended up living in a dump despite all the money she inherited from Jim. What did Pamela ever do to earn even a modicum of recognition? I hear she ran a dress shop financed by none other than Jim. She lived through Jim and earned her fame through being attached to Jim. Pamela was nothing. According to the other members of the Doors, Pamela was a parasite, who considered the Doors a threat and a hindrance to her ability to control and possess Jim. And yet she lived on Doors' money. What did JIm do to attract such a parasitical heroine addicted bitch into his life? Heterosexual men can be very stupid when being seduced by females. You say you hope that Pamela and Jim are together in the next life. Well, I hope the opposite. Let's hope that Jim never meet this parasite known as Pamela in any future existences. I have spent more than enough time writing about Pamela on this TH-cam site. And the only reason anyone is interested in watching this video is because of Pamela's association with Jim Morrison. Pamela has no value on her own.
Wow someone has their own opinion imagine that lol. Since you know Jims feelings so well Im missing the part where you made a millon dollar book or movie;,,,) Still waiting on that tell all book or movie from a know it all bout people you never knew besides news reels, concert footage and books you didn't produce or write;) Still Waiting over here all crosseyed and painless¿
I don't need to write a tell all book on Jim and Pam because several authors have already done the research and written and published several books on the Doors. I have read every book on the Doors that has been published including those books written by Doors' members themselves. None of these books portray Pam in a positive light. Then if you disagree with the authors then the problem is with the authors and publishing company that is supposed to fact check the books. The producer of the last Doors documentary showed up for a question and answer at the film theatre and he pretty much confirmed what the authors of the many books write. But if you have other information from credible sources which would reverse my opinion on Pam I would happily reverse my opinion on Pam. But then, maybe nobody knows the truth.
She collected Luger pistols and in Morrison's poems found after his death, Jim describes her as follows, once I read this, in his handwriting I knew that Pamela was what and who, drove Morrison over the edge. -->
"here is my poem
for you
Great flowing funky flower'd beast
Great perfumed wreck of hell
Great good disease
& summer plague
Great god-damned shit-ass
Mother-fucking freak
You lie, you cheat,
you steal, you kill
you drink the Southern
Madness swill
of greed
you die utterly & alone
Mud up to your braces
Someone new in your
knickers
& who would that be?
You know
You know more
than you let on
Much more than you betray
Great slimy angel-whore
you've been good to me
You really have
been swell to me
Tell them you came & saw
& look'd into my eyes
& saw the shadow
of the guard receding
Thoughts in time
& out of season
The Hitchiker stood
by the side of the road
& levelled his thumb
in the calm calculus
of reason."
Vince Treanor, Jim's intellectual friend, ten yrs older, said she was the absolute worst influence on Jim. And his former brother-in-law said she took him into a lock box, and pulled out the will and said, "see see what I'll get if Jim is dead". She also had a vocabulary of around 800 words, Jim really fucked up with her.
A dark skinned, dark haired woman, with curves, rejected him, who was smart and had gone to Catholic School. I think this person's looks and brains and rejection had something to do with his big mistake on this skeleton with ghastly skin and no brains. Who feigned talking like a child.!
Ray and Dorothy lived at sycamore street in 67 , too..
Not sure why they're not buried together. ....this doesn't make sense. They should really dig up a Morrisons remains and do an autopsies. Can't understand why his family
Wouldn't want that type of clousure. It would also put ant end to the rumours and hearsay
Almost 50 years has passed. Dont you think they got their closure? People who generate rumors probably didnt know them and how they were like their families did.
They didnt die together or even in a same country so which body they should have shipped overseas? Doesnt make sense in real life.
Its just crazy to think that their graves should be opened after all this time, let them rest.
I read somewhere, due to the fact that his grave side in Paris is visited so much, nobody wanted to dig the grave up......then they had the legal battle (Jim s family). But the band mates , who do have some cash, could have paid for an autopsy, but then again, let him rest in peace is the thought of more spiritual believers
I don't think he is in that grave now.... family removed him awhile ago to a secret location.....
great job on the history and video..thanks for sharing..
It was cool other than not having the facts straight about the money and calling the place dumpy ass...
yes, can you update us with the corrections?
Thank you Clyde for filming this visit to Pamela’s last residence. Could I ask what the song is that you are playing inside your car at the beginning? I can hear a woman singing “What’s your name? Is it James?” It sounded cool and apropos... I’d like to find it! Thank you! 😊💕
Pamela didn't the estate until just before she died because several ex girlfriends tried to claim the estate. It wasn't ruled to be rightly Pamela's until just before her death. The Estate was only 400,000 at the time. After her death the Estate grow in value, it was her family and Morrison's family (after a court battle) would reaped the wealth.
SARA DAW I highly doubt $400,000 would equate to $80,000,000 over that time period though! Lol
Very sad but fascinating. Thank you for the tour! Pamela inherited Jim's money but it was still in probate at her death. She could only access a little of it. Her parents and Jim's though cashed in obviously after their children's deaths. As common law Pamela was Jim's wife. Even in letters that he wrote he often referred to her parents as 'the in-laws', and Pamela often signed her name on checks as 'Pamela Morrison' which is how she was named on her grave marker when her ashes were interred. Her parents used these documents to further boost their claim that Jim and Pamela were married (per common law) and to boost their claim to Jim's fortune. And in the end of course the California courts recognized Jim and Pamela's relationship as a common-law marriage, which is legal in other states. I wonder who are now executors of Jim's estate now that Jim and Pamela's parents have all passed on? Their respective siblings perhaps. Jim had wanted his sister Anne and brother Andy to inherit if Pamela died but it didn't work out that way.
I have wondered the same thing!
Pamela's sister Judy inherited everything after Penny Courson passed away.
@@lauriekase8745 When u say everything how many millions?
Jim’s sister is the executor.
First and foremost, Jim had it in his will that she had to wait THREE months before she can get the money. Then, her family and his family fought for his money. Pamela had rich drug-using friends and it has been almost 50 years since she died. Places change. Unless you were standing in front of her apartment IN 1974, you have no right to call it a ‘dump’. 😒
Even now, it has that "old school" charm going for it...I like such places, they have character...I bet the inside hallways were of an Art-Deco style, that I love!
I stole a gourmet coffee sample from their porch, LOL. She lived here with two drug dealer hustlers. She needed them for her habit. She did not win her case until eight months after her death, had she held on she would have had it, poor girl. I know her ex bf after Jim died. His name is Randy Ralston, he wrote a book about her. All jims money went to Penny and Corky, her parents but then Jim Morisons parents took suit and they decided to split it fifty fifty. Corky, her dad passed, and now recently Penny just passed so that fifty percent now belongs to Judith, her sister. Her whole family moved to Santa Barbera where Judith still lives to this day. Judith is very big into Laberdor retriever dogs rescue and also took Pam and Jims lab when they died.
Their dog was named Sage.
+Mytube777 actually Sagebush.
+Mytube777 Thanks for sharing! Very interesting history!..did you live there next door also back then?
Hey Thanks for filling in the Blanks.
No but I have lived 2 blocks away from Pam's apartment with Jim when they lived on Norton Dr. in West Hollywood since the 80s
the french count jean de breteuil pam was running around with in paris
died the same year as jim the count was dating marianne faithful as well
the so called count was also a drug dealer
PETER M Pam was a "Ssusage-Wallet" that's all there was to it!
A good-looking, wealthy slime ball dealing drugs, can survive very well--until they don't!!
Great clip, thanx for posting!!!
pamela died before she saw any of jim's estate due to prolonged legal entanglements
That's too bad she missed The Godfather Part II that came out in December 1974.
Lmfao 🤣
and Jaws and Star Wars and The Doors movie for that matter
Hate to sound snippy but Pam was a Capricorn not a Sagittarius. Interesting video otherwise!
Shannon Lee VERY weird to pilgrimage to a dead girls house. You white folks do some demonic shit, TRULY.
Samuel Parker: And another thing. I don't know if you realize this but it was not I who went there and the mere fact you are on this video tells me you must have some interest in this kind of thing RIGHT? Otherwise why the hell are you here. White folks!?! I'm so sick of assholes saying crap about white people! What are you anyway? All I see is an orange box with a Caucasian looking figure in it, If you are going to put down another race maybe you should change that shit! I'm a friggen car I don't know how anyone can tell what race I am.
The Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp was mentioned about Dec 22
Sam, yes...we like to enslave those who make stupid comments!
Shannon Lee she was on the cusp of Sagittarius and Capricorn
Thank you, I believe they are together in peace , cheers
I have driven by many times never knew. I herd it was the one with the Balcony. it's a Very well to do erea.
Yes, it's a nice area. I live in a slightly nicer neighborhood about a mile from there and that 'dump' probably rents for $3K a month.

The landscaping is nice.
area it is, a very well to do one got it ✌
Cool history, thanks. Dont know why someone hasnt done a video of where Jim died. There is a bad vid on youtube that says it is but no sound.
...First time I ever saw the place where Pamela passed... In the media however, you cannot get enough images or footage of where HE died!

@@suzannedesfagnes4355 - I know! I've seen images and footage of Jim's death site dozens of times... The media ALWAYS makes sure you see THAT! I was however referring to the actual place where Pamela passed a few years later, and how this is the first time I've ever seen it!
@@Jhihmoac Sorry, i misunderstood ...
She actually died right before she inherited Jim's money.
Nope. She died within 24hrs after finally receiving it. She bought a brand new VW bug and an oz of heroin and overdosed that same night. Money beats soul...every time
@@Jrod420ist Wonder if it was suicide.
@@stevep4574 Personally I think it was accidental. But who knows? If it was suicide I'm sure it would've been from the guilt about how things went down in Paris.
@@Jrod420ist Jim meeting her drug acquaintances didn't help, but he was a full grown man.
That's not a dumpy apt you obviously haven't been to Indianapolis
Damp apartment ,,,That house is really pretty. I wish i have one :))
"A dumpy apartment"? It looks pretty upscale to me.
He obviously loved her
Its called codependency more likely
Yes he loved her the same way Sid loved Nancy.
Well the real story on that is my aunt actually was Jim Morrison's on and off girlfriend not serious but just on and off and she's got some things of jams and she knew Pam actually her and Pam we're roommates at one time for a brief moment and my aunt told me a lot of stories of which the so-called Pagan witch who claims she married Jim Morrison actually the true story behind that because Jim actually got drunk one night and was laughing about the whole thing and which not only did he do the ceremony with the so-called Pagan witch Patricia kenneally but he also did similar rituals with a few other women and which the movie The Doors my aunt did give an interview with Oliver Stone about some of the things that she did and Patricia the so-called Pagan wife actually was portrayed in that movie as many women she was not a main focus in Jim life at all but Oliver Stone used her not only as my aunt's character but a few other women that he did interview as well as other characters.. there was also no pregnancy Patricia lied about that one due to the fact that there was a rumor that Jim Morrison could not produce any children and Patricia is still obsessed with Jim Morrison till this day so if she really was pregnant then she would have kept that child as much as she is obsessed over today she would have kept that child no matter what cuz she knew he was done with her from the beginning to the end she actually claimed that she was pregnant to Jim not in a Miami courtroom but in the apartment complex house so to speak that he shared on and off with Pam and how I know this for a fact is because my aunt and some other people who would flop there or stay there off and on actually was there during the conversation and this was how it went down Patricia flew from New York to LA to tell Jim she was pregnant and Jim was already done with her because Pam was coming back from Paris to their home and he was going to be back with her he was actually staying in that place off and on ... and so are others as well my aunt has even pictures of her and Jim and Pam together along with others just hanging out... anyways back to the psycho Patricia came to La trying to get Jim to talk to her told him that she was pregnant never showed any proof that she was pregnant he told her if she was that she should get an abortion that he absolutely wanted nothing to do with her or the child.. she begged for Jim to stay the night with her jim refused Pam was there Pam confronted Patricia and Patricia made up this love story of her and Jim and Jim laughed in Patricia's face . Patricia begged jim she walked out the door crying as he turned around and hugged and kissed on Pam.. now let's get back to the ceremony thing okay this is from Jim mouth and this is what he told a couple of people but yes they did have this little witchcraft ceremony she told him it would be all the special and magical he wanted to try it he did not think of it as a marriage at all he never signed any papers there is no signature with his name on it to make this ceremony legal nun it was just something to do he said he was stoned out of his mind and he did it not only did he do that with her he did that with a couple other women as well along with drinking the blood yes he experiment like that with other women as well.. also my aunt got a call from Pam while she and Jim was in Paris together and they were getting along great she had the boutique things were going really good he actually really enjoy Paris and there was no letters being sent to Patricia like she said there was Patricia has no proof of these letters she had said that she was going to produce these letters to the world many of times through the years has never done it and because she does not have them he's never wrote her calling her his wife that was not Jim Style. my aunt had one of her best male friends who was one of Jim's drinking partners and who also was a friend of Pam's and he passed away probably about 10 years ago anyways when the whole thing came up on the Internet what Patricia was saying about Jim writing her in Paris this is how I know it's not true my aunt and her best male friend who passed away God Rest his soul even said that when Pam and Jim left for Paris Patricia went crazy she couldn't find Jim she would call and call and call wanting to know where Jim was wanting to know his address she even flew out to LA from New York twice looking for Jim while he was gone in Paris with Pam he had no contact with Patricia it drove her insane.. also in 1970s Jim made out a will and which you can actually look it up and Google and you can actually find it is also at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum he did a will where it said that he left everything to Pamela ... Pamela and Jim Morrison are together they are soulmates like Jim said she was his Cosmic soulmate... the true story that has been backed up by the people who knew Jim Morrison very well and Pamela that the book that Patricia put out is a lie about her and Jim of course she is a fairy tale writer as a lot of people know and she is a compulsive liar as that and I think that it's pretty disgusting for her to change her last name to Morrison when she was nothing but a groupie to Jim Morrison just like my aunt was most likely a groupie and many other women because he never loved a woman except for his high school sweetheart and Pamela those are the two women that he loved .
Is the story about a guy they called cigar burns true.
I’ve always called bs on Patricia!
Well it sounds like everyone was nits though the pagan witch thought Jim married her too but it was not legal either. Pam just probably missed him and wanted his name as a memento. As for him telling her it was over some couples fight break up and get back together every other week.
I think your story is bull shit.
And you don't know how to write.
Paragraphs are your friend. And brevity is the soul of wit, especially for TH-cam comments. Hats off to anyone who took the time to read that rambling of words.
This is not considered a dumpy neighborhood. What concerns me is how Jim was living before leaving for Paris. Something about living in a 'dumpy' Motel? Could this be??
Also 27 years old
I don't think that Pam was good for Jim. Although they were so young
Two peas in a pod man. Both self destructive and most likely bipolar. Addicts attract like magnet and steel. No pun intended
As the song go's your lost little girl.
Naw...mid-20s is not "so young"...Most people by that time, have a decent job, a decent relationship, and some idea about what they expect from Life.
Thank you for the video.
Faithful already said she sold and delivered the heroine that killed Jim. Everyone should read her book really interesting. Also talks about her OD when Mick was filming the Ned Kelly Movie here in Australia
According to what I read she said in 2014, she claims she was "asleep" and "in bed", but that her boyfriend sold the heroin to Morrison.
I personally think Faithful was involved in some way, but she is tight-lipped on what really happened.
Morrison's friend Alain Ronay, the club manager Sam Bernett and Roger steffen's interview with Densmore that is found here on youtube, all point to Faithful being more involved than she claims. Though of course she won't be honest and claims that "I fell asleep"...yeah right, and black is white too Marianne.
marmaladekamikaze Pam had the hots for the Count, and the Count was having money problems apparently. One could speculate that perhaps Jim was accidentally on purpose given China white Heroin instead of cocaine, and he being super drunk didn’t really look at it & snorted a monster line.
@@marmaladekamikaze It is interesting, that Mick Jagger, who indulged in a few drugs, never has messed around with heroin--to his credit. Faithful somehow survived that weird period in her life.
Sad. Both overdose. Amazing trip back into time.
Whatch jim Morrison and the lizard queen on TH-cam ok she didn't die until 2008
This is not a dumpy apartment . The rents in that area are SKY HIGH .. no pun intended.
Thanks for the info I read it all but you did a nice job
Love old houses style
Thank you!!!
1:16 According to Danny Goldberg's book, Pam was a drug addict and blamed herself for Jim's death. She told Goldberg she gave Jim the heroin injection that killed him. That would explain the circumstances she was living in when she died.
Jim hated needles and would have never shot up OR had someone else stick a needle in his arm. NO, he died from inhaling some very powerful heroin, on the toilet in the bathroom of the Rock and Roll Circus Bar. His body was moved to the bath tub post mortem.
I was born April 2nd 1974 wow
Her Apt was upstairs with the balcony.
So that front door there leads to an area when you can go upstairs to apartments at next floor and to other apartments on lower level, correct?
Nice video, informed and respectful. Thanks.
Nice but not terribly well informed as he wasn’t right about the money.
@@tracylynnedgar5788 go on...
She did not inherit any of Jim’s Money
According to Sugar man, may have been working to find another rockstar to keep her but extremely sad & guilty @ Jim & fact that her claim on his estate was contested. This is why I feel Jim died of heroin overdose & no autopsy was performed!! 😢😢
You failed to mention, that Mr. Sugarman, who comes off as being honest, actually met up with Pam in a bar, a few months after Jim died...She was sloshed, of course, and invited him to her place--they had sex...but in the morning, Sugarman awoke to the sound of a plate crashing against the well, near his head...Pam was shrieking at him, telling him to get out, and telling him that Jim, if he were alive, would have killed him!...This is how unstable she was.
Thankyou for this man, very insightful and interesting
Pam's not in the 27 club. If Pam is in the club, everyone who dies is in the club making the "club" irrelevent.
He had a soul?
What was it about LA..in those days. It's now only a whisper in the winds here. Playful days beautiful days for many everywhere. These artists came from all over. Probably at the time they weren't given as much attention as they later got. Not sure about the whole story, but if there is one big lie, say a fake beard, then that means there were a lot of others. I don't think it's that easy to get that big for there were many talented musicians and attractive people. Theres a lot of great TH-cam videos and online pics to help you figure it all out, but the possibilities may shock you.
Success, especially in Tinsiltown, is a matter of luck, great looks, and who you get together with...It has been that way, since the movie industry cranked up, over a hundred years ago! As a rule, only the "High-and-Tight Butted" people need apply, according to what David Niven's great autobiography says!
I don't know what in another person's heart, but heroin is a murderous mistress to be sure. I don't have any doubt that Jim and Pam are together forever now. ❤🔥
hey apt number one. She wrote a letter in 1973 to a Michael stating her new address
Pam ,27 years old. !!!🎉
Amazing how heroin links people together who end their lives so young.
Jim wasn't into the heroin, she was. His drug of choice was alcohol.
Deborrah Grulke unfortunately, he was snorting the H near the end. No needles. Verified by his closest friends
@@deborrahgrulke3407 jim did heroin the night he died. its a shame but its true
@@daveelson213 Yes, I know. What I was saying it wasn't his usual 'drug of choice' it was Pamela's.
@@valsanders4977 which friends?
Thank you for this video✌️ . I d like to find some more videos , interviewed people who speak about Pam . Every thing about her . And I d like to know how she was , her character, her personality. Thank you .
Pamela got involved with a pimp who brought her into prostitution before she was able to receive a bit of her inheritance from Jim's royalties. As soon as she got her hands on that money ( after years of probate) The very first thing she bought was a Volkswagen car, a fur coat and some China white. (Heroin) She had a hard time fighting for her inheritance , her drug habbit forced her into prostitution. It's a very sad story. Pamela Courson was heartbroken after losing Jim.
She was a junkie and Jim's muse, if that helps oh and I heard they both step out on their relationship..
@@tats5880 i already know all that. What about her personality? Her interactions with others? Her life style? How she was when she was a kid? Her life style when she was in my country France?
@@reybo8639 that's a tall order my friend, the only advice I can offer. See if you can track down any living relatives or any old classmates or finding a hometown where she grew up and see what happens.. good luck to you I hope you find some answers. If you do keep in touch ✌️
I not sure if this would help but if Pam's best friend is still alive you can start there Diane Gardner.. and she was born in weed California..
Pam was actually a capricorn
Blimey..anyone else feel sea sick from the spinning,.. wavering..wobbling camera ?
50 years ago, today.
This is Fantastic information
Thank you 🙏
Jim doesn't blame her nor do I.,😎
That doesn't look like a "dump" but those suburban, cookie-cutter "houses" up on top of each other that people over there are so desperate to own, so cheaply constructed, are so horribly tragic in the eyes of the rest of the western-industrialised world. By the way, what accent have you got?
He sounds like he could possibly be Hispanic to me! Some of my family members have this same accent :)
Well ... mostly correct. But I won't quibble. It's worth it to have some footage og this building on YT. Thanks Clyde.
wow, I had no idea she was 27 too... The infamous 27 club. So sad and senseless.... :(
27 club is for ppl with talent. Sorry Pam
Doesnt count if you plan to kill yourself on your 27th birthday like Pam and then Kurt.
He said that if she inherited jim's wealth then why did she live in a dumpy apartment like this? Well, for one she was a heroin addict and I also read that she bought a fur coat, a car and a bunch of heroin with the money Jim left her and after that she was broke. Sounds pretty realistic if she was addicted like that...
Wow I was born on April 2nd 1974 and I watched a video clip from Pamela on TH-cam in the late 80's so I know she isn't dead
Link?
I love this street. If all of L.A. would have kept the architecture of that period I might never have left. Now it looks like slums and pretentious cookie cutter estates.No character. Jim and Pam wherever you are ,get clean .So much talent wasted.
Jim looks middle class that place was nice
It probably would have been better if the money was thrown in the ocean.
Jim had next to no love and support from his family. They could have cared less about his dreams and goals. He lived his own life and did it on his own. He didn’t have a family.
On Pam’s cremation interment it says “Pamela Susan Morrison” not Courson.
jims money was tied up in court and max the laywer was trying to get her the money. she died beforehand she could get it. max would give her small loans.
So romantic. She killed Jim and then dies on a couch in a seedy apartment....
At 27 years old JIM very well knew what he did, he wasn't a kid and had an IQ much higher than her's, so, so be it ...let it be !
YOU POOR ARROGANTIDIOT KARMA WILL NO GOUBT BITE THAT UGLY TONGUE OF YOURS
Jim killed Jim. He lived on the edge just like Pam. Soulmates however ya slice it
She didn't kill him idiot.
@@isabelrodriguezsjolund9701 Maybe she didn't pull out a gun and shoot him in the face, but Jim wasn't into heroin (booze, yes), she was the addict. It was her heroin and she got him to snort it with her. Not a good decision any way you slice it. Alain Ronay's account of what happened just after is something everyone should read. Pam didn't speak French and he had to run interference for her with the French police. It's eye opening.
Went there around the late 90s. The entire bldg was vacant.
She never got a penny apparently
Jims parents Should of gotten his money etc..Not pam...
cwb0051 he did not want anything to do with his parents
He had absolutely nothing to do with his parents! Even after Pam’s death I don’t see how they thought they deserved anything of Jim’s, but they got 50% of what was left. I think that I f you earn it, you have a right to give it to whoever you want and the courts have no right changing that after someone’s death as they so often do. Why we even allow such crap in our courts is beyond me.
@@tonymelindabaird1826 He was still immature and figuring things out at 27. And a raging drunk. Also his estrangement from his parents was part of his mythology. When you watch videos of his father in later years, you can sense the deep regret (and respect) and it was his father who came up with the epitaph for his grave marker: Faithful to his own spirit. I have no doubt that had Jim lived to middle age at least, he would have found his way back home. It's ridiculous to think his parents are less deserving than the (undeserving) parents of the addict who contributed to his early demise (by her own admission). Not to mention, Morrison had a good relationship with his siblings and they benefitted from his parents fighting for a share of the inheritance.
please forgive me if I have missed something but didn't Pam stay in Paris after Jim " died " ? didn't Pam pass away in Paris ? please forgive me for not doing more research on this
Nope.
and december like jim
Beautiful woman...a muse......
Apt #1 was hers
Anyone notice an orb of light moving around in this🤔🤷🏻♂️
It’s a mark on the lens.
