If someone was a big fan of Miz Diller and has money to spare, I don’t see why it wouldn’t sell for that much. But it does need a lot of renovations if the new owner wants to add his personal touch to the place.Kemberly Loydhttp://patriotroofing.biz/license-insurance/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-13919681190251454942013-08-26T08:01:54.126-07:002013-08-26T08:01:54.126-07:00I'm just curious to know if the house sold and...I'm just curious to know if the house sold and what happened to it?

Ms. Diller loved her family, friends, audiences, and animals. She could cook, paint, play classical piano, and would immediately make guests feel at home in her comfortable home. And Ms. Diller courageously jumped into a male-only comedy network, wrote her own material, and competed with and conquered the boys without employing profanity.<br /><br />Along with St. Paul Snowman, the Rabbi thanks Mama for a loving tribute to a great lady. And along with Growler, Bentley, and Little Gay Boy, the Rabbi feels that the former Diller home was truly authentic, and believes that the house is incredible and could once again become amazing. The Rabbi is speculating that Anonymous 6:35 a.m. slipped in the Landry comment simply to escalate her blood pressure and, believing in the goodness of humanity, predicts that the Diller home will be saved. <br /><br />Rabbi Hedda LaTess<br />Lawrenceville NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-57285304511487763332012-09-27T11:01:34.277-07:002012-09-27T11:01:34.277-07:00Oh Mama... you've been late to the real estate...Oh Mama... you've been late to the real estate rodeo for the past 2 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-13106667633046587302012-09-27T10:59:23.500-07:002012-09-27T10:59:23.500-07:00I'm familiar with Miss Diller, but a bit too y...I'm familiar with Miss Diller, but a bit too young to have any tangible memories of her.

She made fun of herself and not others (other than ficticious Fang etc..). She had an edge, but was not disgusting or vulgar (like another aged comedienne with initials JR). I was fortunate to see her performance at a fundraiser located at a private home in AZ, in the early 90s I believe. She was under a big top tent in the back yard, and she did not dissapoint.

I think with the right architect, a huge pool dropped in that huge lawn, some terraces and landscaping, this place could be amazing.<br />I would add skylights and dormer windows to punctuate and add light to those endless expanses of roof on the second floor wings. I'm all for vintage kitchens but this one would have to go. I would keep some vestige of hers though, in homage. <br />As for the decor, it looks just like what a famous 95 year old's house should look like. Although I am suspicious of the garbage pail right beside the dining room chair at the head of the table in the listing photos. I can't imagine. She never smoked? I can't believe it. I always thought she'd be fun to sit with, smoke cigarettes, drink bourbon, and tell lewd stories all night long.

I ADORED her since I was a kid beginning to watch tv in the '60s. The house is built in four wings that form a square with a courtyard in the middle as indicated. It's an A+ address/location, but a hard to live in floor plan, so sadly I'd re-build a more daily living friendly house. I once had the chance to attend one of her art exhibitions/sales at the house a few years back. She was real, classy, sophisticated, smart, and oozing with talents. She kept that home real - the felt-backed vinyl tablecloth in the kitchen, her 1970's Club Aluminum dutch oven for boiling water/making spaghetti, etc... She used to appear on Dinah Shore's talk show live from that red kitchen with some latest recipe! P.S. she bought the house from an at-the-time Disney executive. She was a human gem!

I love her humor, and I cherish the memory of that night. When I called to accept the invitation, her assistant said, "Bring Your camera. Miss Diller likes taking pictures with her guests." That's how cool she was!<br /><br />Party guests were allowed to go upstairs to see the costume storage room. The famous cigarettes are actually wood! (Her bedroom was on the first floor.)<br /><br />The house is better than in the photos. Many nice finishing details. It's situated sideways on the lot. This section of Brentwood does not have as much demolition as Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, so fingers crossed some schmo won't level it. If I had $12.9, I'd buy it today.<br /><br />I'll close with a Filler quote: "You won't find me listed in 'Who's Who.'
