Jackson Family
In 2004, Jackson family matriarch Katherine Jackson welcomed Julia-Levy into her Encino, California, home while Julia-Levy was finalizing his permanent move to Hollywood. It was singer, bassist and composer Jermaine Jackson who arranged for Julia-Levy to reside in the private guest quarters of the Jackson estate.
Julia-Levy also lived for six months at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County, where Julia-Levy became close friends with Jackson.
"I found Michael to be friendly and the most generous man I have ever met," Julia-Levy said in an interview with Exceptional People Magazine journalist Sharon Raiford Bush. "I'll never forget him singing to me at three in the morning because he couldn't sleep. He loved to talk."

Famous quotes containing the words jackson and/or family:
“From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
