Its history of residents include Lillian Gish , Cary Grant , Henry Fonda , Terry Melcher & Candice Bergen . In 1969 it was occupied by director Roman Polanski and his then wife, actress Sharon Tate . It became infamous following the murders of Sharon Tate , Wojciech Frykowski , Abigail Folger , Jay Sebring and Steven Parent there at the hands of the Charles Manson "Family" on August 9 , 1969 . In later years, rock stars Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson recorded albums there.

It was demolished in 1994 and a huge Mansion called the "Villa Bella" has been built on the site. The front door survives; Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, the final tenant, took it with him and installed it as the front door of his label, Nothing Records , which was based in New Orleans .

In September 2004 , Reznor closed his studio and moved to Los Angeles , but it remains unclear whether he sold the door or took it with him.
