Gillette Mansion in Balboa

fiberglassrocket - 07 Oct 2005 16:42:36

This is the house. Note the reference to "The Daletones":
The house is maybe a mile or so from the site of the old Rendezvous
Ballroom and a few hundred yards from The Wedge.

Tim:
I think that Dick's issues with the 16-year old daughter of
his wife (his step-relation, I think) was around 1979-1980.
It may have been a "divorce" allegation. I think that
might be what happened to the Gilette Mansion and all
Dick's other real estate...whether it was a "payoff" or a
"divorce settlement" i don't know the official
outcome...but, it seemed to resolve itself with very little
public fanfare here in SoCal. The incident did tarnish
Dick's reputation for decades, that's for sure.
