Roman Polanski and i had a good arrangement. He would lie to me about his affairs and i pretended to believe him but being very pregnant, i moved into 10050 Cielo Drive. It was a mansion fit for Hollywood’s best and brightest, nestled deep in Benedict Canyon, the house used to belong to our friends Terry Melcher and actress Candice Bergen which as it turned out, the previous tenants were quite important.
Charles Manson was an aspiring musician and fully flegded lunatic and friends with Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson and producer Terry Melcher who initially expressed interest in Manson’s music but declined to sign him after witnessing the ex-con’s volatile behavior.
Not long after Melcher declined to support Manson’s career, the producer moved out of the home at 10050 Cielo Drive, and it was rented out to us just as Manson ordered four of his followers with instructions to ‘totally destroy everyone in the house as gruesome as you can.’
Manson wasn't the brightest guy on the block and it was his weirdo interpretations of Beatles lyrics on the White Album and the song Helter Skeletr specifically that Charles Manson explaned why he ordered the deaths in our house, saying: 'It’s the Beatles, the music they’re putting out, It’s subliminal.'
It must be a thing about California that all the religious nutcases start of there. California, for all its laid-back vibes, has been a hub for fringe religious cults for decades. Jim Jones Peoples Temple followers were headquartered in San Francisco. Children of God, the weird sex cult that River Phoenix's family belonged to when he was a kid, was started in Huntington Beach, California. Branch Davidians, California. Heavens Gate San Diego. Scientology? Southern California.
Finding a weird cult that didn't start in California is like not finding a pair of breast implants on Venice Beach but as for me, it all ended there.
