It was never "leveled to the ground". It underwent a large renovation. As stated on one website "And while Jerry Perenchio (who bought it in 1986)did spend the next five years remodeling the interior of the property (which did not appear in The Beverly Hillbillies or Cinderfella), he did NOT demolish it and the exterior was left completely intact (except for the roof area).". It sold in 2019 as the "most expensive piece of real estate ever sold in California history!The sale price? $150 million dollars!". <br /><br />Now don't you feel embarrassed? rky84https://www.blogger.com/profile/00017722255098774576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-61784179427777378322015-10-29T21:19:13.149-07:002015-10-29T21:19:13.149-07:00Many years after production ceased, and the show w...Many years after production ceased, and the show was cancelled, the Beverly Hillbillies mansion was purchased.

The owners of the real-life houses used as the exteriors for production were told when the show started that it might run a couple of years at best (given the then track record for Aussie dramas). Nobody predicted that the show would become a hit in 60 countries (most notably the UK) and be still running 30 years later. But apparently the home owners get paid handsomely (though a figure has never been made public) for the inconvenience of having production crews, security staff and English tourists lurking outside their houses every week... and not be able to do any external changes to their houses without consulting producers for fear of disrupting continuity!Television.AUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903689901203419868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-30297602410642157722014-11-10T20:31:51.679-08:002014-11-10T20:31:51.679-08:00That does happen here as well - shows from The Bra...That does happen here as well - shows from The Brady Bunch to Mork and Mindy to Family all used actual homes, which is a mixed blessing for their current owners. <br /><br />The Kravitz house is also the Partridge Family house so yes, it's in the same neighborhood just a few doors down!

I just assumed they used real houses for the exteriors (which is often the case for shows made in Australia. Budgets rarely extend to the luxury of custom-made house exteriors)<br /><br />Would love to go and see the Bewitched house. Is the Kravitz house across the street?? :)Television.AUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903689901203419868noreply@blogger.com
