I'm disappointed that it was demolished - I had hoped to see it one day after reading about it in "The Last Mogul" and "When Hollywood Had A King." Always sad when something beautiful,well crafted, and HISTORIC is destroyed.<br /><br />Casey Wasserman's mother was Lew and Edie's daughter. His last name was changed to the recognizable Wasserman name, with encouragement from his grandparents, so he would have easier access in life. Maybe Lew and Edie wouldn't care what he did with the place, who knows? It's his business. But still, what a loss!Rosco Marenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-3408681231866250372012-05-16T14:58:55.188-07:002012-05-16T14:58:55.188-07:00Fascinating, Carla!

That's a *lot* of DreamWorkers, working overtime, LOL.<br /><br />Between that, and Jennifer's high sale price, and the old Randy Phillips place (also by Levitt) selling for over $15 million, it's not actually hard to see why people are floating their Trousdale pads at prices upwards "upwards of $20 million".

It's clearly of great value, to the informed among modern-leaning one-percenters. <br /><br />My bafflement arises from Casey Wasserman inheriting and razing his grandparents' (Lew and Edie) legendary Levitt just a few blocks away down Doheny Road, within the past few months -- JUST as the BH Preservation Ordinance is getting going, btw. What will go up in its place is anyone's guess, but if he didn't like the house -- and didn't want to honor his grandparents' legacy -- he could have taken the money and built another (Catas)Trophy Mansion on any number of available (or lesser-profile) sites within a few block radius. <br /><br />Completely baffled, I am.
