They really did live like movie stars, people say they weren’t that famous until Sharon’s murder. That’s not possible, even on today’s standard in 2021 that’s an extraordinarily beautiful house and piece of property. Gorgeous pics of you George Smith!!! And your Mum (?) 💖🙌💖

wonderful pictures thanks for sharing, I wish I could have seen it. love the VW.

In 1975 the house and property and surrounding neighbors houses must have looked mostly pretty much the same as they did in 1969 just 6 years later. Nothing looks the same now except for maybe the street and some of that has probably changed since 1969 or even 1975. It would be creepy to see this view of the property and garage at night since it would look and appear as it did on the night of the murders. God Bless All Of The Victims on that terrible night.

Thank you for sharing, George. God Bless!

Beautiful video and really love the music. It gives a peaceful yet upbeat feel to a place that was neither peaceful nor upbeat on Aug 8-9, 1969. It might be interesting to use some of Charlie’s own song recordings. He actually did have a few good ones. But, nah, that would make it too creepy and would divert attention from the beauty of the place and the tragedy of the victims and point attention to the sociopaths who did the horrible crime. RIP Sharon Tate, her unborn baby Richard Paul Polanski, Jay Sebring, Voytek Frikowski, Abigail Folger, and Steven Parent. RIP to their family members and friends who have passed between then and now, especially Patti Tate and Doris Tate. Peace and comfort to all family members and friends who are still living in this world.

Beautiful mom you have there George

A wonderful video..great music.

Great archive type of video.Nice job :-)

How tragic that such a gorgeous property was demolished. It was already historic, long before the tragedy that stole so many innocent lives. A house is not a living thing, it's true. But I still cannot help but think of that lovely home as yet another victim of a murderous cult of hateful nutjobs. I so wish that Sharon's "love house" had been exactly that - a place where happiness flourished - and famous for no other reason. Then, it would still exist, as would she and the rest of the people whose futures were stolen so brutally. May they all RiP & Joy. 💙

I'd love to live in a remote house next to a big city and the sea side like those in your video, but then again it would give me the creeps without having at least six big obeying dogs.

oh my god!! it on the old youtube screen.

I graduated HS in 1975..I'm disappointed that you weren't on the property. The barbed wire definitely sends a message that you are not allowed and the reminder if what happened there in the summer of 1969.

It can always be rebuilt, IF the right person with the right amount of money buys the property. Make an offer to who owns it now, an offer they could not refuse. Put it back the way Michelle Morgan had it built. Then buy a tiger tank and park it at the front gate and let’s try repeating aug/9/1969 again and see who dies this time.

Enyas music is very suitable for this place.

Flora's Secrets by Enya so apt for here. Although beautiful I got a real sense of sadness. Great video though thank you

How do they keep those houses on the side of the hill. Beautiful house and beautiful girl Sharon was.love your pants George.

I’m roughly the same age as George and at 1:35 in the video that’s how it was in the 70s... all males in that age range had to dress and wear their hair like that it was a rule

He and my father worked together at a real estate company called “executive properties”in Beverly Hill ( the Buckeye building , it was shaped like a boat , it’s still there I believe ) it was Ray and Jim his son that went to the Tate house first after the housekeeper came running out of the house after seeing the bodies. I remember Jim was in the LAPD Law enforcement explorers at that time I believe. I remember Jim telling me one time that it was he who called the police to report the crimes. Jim got me into the Explorers around that time, but my post was Devonshire division in the San Fernando valley. I wonder if they still have the LAPD Explorers today?

The house itself was torn down around 1994 I think & now some villa type monstrosity sits in it's place that is owned by Full House creator Jeff Franklin. As for the road, that portion of Cielo Drive is considered a "Private Driveway" but it hasn't stopped people from making the trip up there. Though, personally from what I've seen I would recommend parking on the street below & walking up the "private driveway" rather than driving up and attempting to drive back down it.

Bet you wish you still had that VW bug. My dad had a mint green '64? VW bus deluxe with 23 windows with a wife & 4 kids. Then the motor was giving him a lot of trouble. You had to get out and push it every once in a while while starting the ignition. ..lolol...then my dad got fed up and traded it for a stereo set with a long haired hippie who was thrilled he could put a matress in it. 😁

I see that door to the guest section, and I would love a time portal back to March 1969 and the supposed conversation between Manson ( if it was him) and scumbo Rudy Altobelli, through that door, allegedly involving Manson looking for Terry Melcher. Cooked up story by Bugliosi and Scumbo Altobelli. Love to know what was really said, since Manson already knew that Meltcher no longer there, so the story is nonsense. Likely is, Manson was looking for Altobelli, got the cold shoulder, and this ticked off murderous Manson. Since Hatami before he died retracted his story about identifying Manson that day, as he had been threatened to give false testimony at trial, we don't know what the real story is. Another corrupt part of this whole messy cover storied farce of a case. Like I say, would love a time portal.
