Spelling Manor, Holmby Hills

Now that Candy Spelling has announced she's selling her 100-room mansion, making it the most expensive residential real-estate listing in the US, attention and views for this photo are quickly on the rise. The hockey stick:

Photo is from our Los Angeles helicopter tour, part 4: Westwood to Hollywood. I set Creative Commons rights so you can post, print, adapt and share this image of Aaron Spelling's mansion, even the original 3000 x 2000 size, at will. If at all possible, please provide a link back to this page and, if it's not too much trouble, credit to Atwater Village Newbie. Thank you!

The title may be a rhetorical question but I'd hazard a guess that this is Spelling Estate in Holmby Hills. Presently I think its home to the widow of Aaron Spelling, a passel of pomeranians and several servants... and maybe Aaron's ghost. Certainly not Tori anymore.

No, it was a real question! And now that you've answered, I do vaguely remember the pilot mentioning the Spelling clan.

I thought it might be the Clampett Estate. I see the see-ment pond in the lower left.

Too bad Spelling and the realty agency got free use of the shot. A great shot like that would've / could've cost them $10K+

They get to sell for 150M and you get what, nothing?
