A document of the demolition of the Richard Neutra-designed 1935 home of Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich, later owned by Ayn Rand and rented by Ruth Beebe Hill and family. I was the Hills’ neighbor, friend and part-time groundskeeper/caretaker. I shot this film when I was 15. Too bad that the big curved wall around the front patio was already demolished when I started shooting. My 7th birthday party was on that patio! This footage is copyrighted by Andy Moore.
