power on the news

DAVID WALKER: The You Catch It, You Keep It guy starts coming by, doing walkthroughs with the decorator. One day, he decides he doesnt like the brass hardware. He has every handle, doorknob, hinge, and bathroom fixture switched out. For us, it was like Christmas came early. The next day, Bernadette is literally standing in the White Castles dumpster when the English guy pulls up in his RollsRoyce. Nigel MillsMurray did not respond to several interview requests. His business manager did. JOHN L. SAYRE: Who would like to drive up and find a neighbor digging through his trash Nobody, thats who. My client would have been happy to discuss a fair price for his fixtures. But the woman didnt ask. She just entered his property and stole from him. Last time I checked, that was illegal. Overnight, MillsMurray erected a razorwire fence and posted a twentyfourhour security guard at the entrance to the driveway. (The White Castle and the Twenty Mile House shared a driveway. Technically, it was an easement deeded to the White Castle over the Twenty Mile Houses property. This would become an important factor in the year to come.) Fox became obsessed with getting the discarded hardware. When a truck arrived at the White Castle to remove the dumpster, she jumped in her car and followed it to a traffic light. She gave the driver a hundred bucks to salvage MillsMurrays hardware. DAVID WALKER: She thought it was too tacky to use in the house. She decided to solder the pieces together with wire, like in the old days, and turn it into her front gate. MillsMurray called the police, but no charges were filed. The next day, the gate was gone. Fox was convinced MillsMurray had stolen it, but she had no proof. With Foxs job at the Getty winding down, she quit and devoted all her energies to the Twenty Mile House. PAUL JELLINEK: I definitely noticed a different energy once Bernadette quit. Id show up with students, and all shed talk about was the White Castle and how ugly it was, how much they wasted. It was all true, but it had nothing to do with architecture. The White Castle was finally completed. Its crowning touch was a dollars worth of California fan palms planted along the shared driveway, each lowered into place by helicopter. Fox became furious that her entry now looked like a RitzCarlton. She complained, but MillsMurray sent over the title report clearly specifying that his easement over her property was for ingress and egress and landscaping decisions and maintenance. DAVID WALKER: Twenty years later, any time I hear the words easement, ingress, or egress, I still get sick to my stomach. Bernadette would not stop ranting about it. I started to wear a Walkman so I could tune her out. MillsMurray decided to christen his new home by hosting a lavish Oscar afterparty. He hired Prince to play in the backyard. Lack of parking is always an issue along Mulholland Drive, so MillsMurray hired a valet. The day before the party, Fox eavesdropped on MillsMurrays assistant as she walked the driveway with the head valet, figuring out where to park a hundred cars. Fox notified a dozen towing companies that cars were going to be illegally parked on her driveway.
