Thank you so much Shawn for giving us an insight into Mr. Hurst, the castle & Marion Davis. I learned a lot with this presentation. I visited the castle early in the 90's. Most remarkable indeed. Sentebey

Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

In the 80's they actually mentioned that on his camping trips to the property he had entertainmen... a cowboy group..Leonard Sly and his group...later..Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers.

She made some of the most enjoyable films of the 1920's

More interested in the construction of all the spaces and buildings. The guests are interesting to hear about but the real fascination is in the incredible feat of building and bringing in artifacts and who knows what the real story is; construction looks like all the old World Fair buildings; interesting that architect Julia Morgan biography book would feature the most recognizable feature in those fairs in the front of her book; not an original concept. Wouldn't Hearst with all the videos and photos of people visiting in the early years documented this great feat with photographs from ground to completed construction and all the inbetween colossal talent it must have taken? Where did all these artisans come from? Why aren't they highlighted? You can find a tree on a truck and a statue in a crate and a sketchy looking construction photos of the Casa Grande; need more meat on those bones.

The first room shown is where Marion Davies daughter got married in 1937

Didn’t get to see movie theater on tour and took every tour. Years ago.
-
Marion Davies did NOT get married in this room in 1937.

🤷♂️🎵🔥🤷♀️ How do we know if any of this is true? Specially presented by the state?😂 Question everything, friends? Imagine, he doesn't even mention she was a 19-year-old runaway from the private school her parents had sent her to... He met her in NY and fell madly in love with her. Randy was 53 years old and married... He chased her all over and had her in the newspaper at all times... Besides launching her to the fame she was known for in those days, he built her a place in Santa Monica. During the opulent 1920s, Randy( as my grandma called him) developed a 5-acre oceanfront site for Marion Davies, which eventually became the location of the Annenberg Community Beach House. The estate included a grand mansion with more than 100 rooms and a magnificent marble swimming pool.

She was a cousin of mine.

All that money and Mr. Hearst couldn’t buy a good lapel microphone?

Sound is so terrible I can’t believe they properly edited the whole video.
-
Bowl cut! 😂😂😂

Such a marvellous collection of art and craftwork. Still, I can't help sensing the whiff of the vulgar and crass as I look around.
-
Sound so bad I couldn’t finish watching.
