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:
“[Government’s] true strength consists in leaving individuals and states as much as possible to themselves—in making itself felt, not in its power, but in its beneficence, not in its control, but in its protection, not in binding the states more closely to the center, but leaving each to move unobstructed in its proper orbit.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies” dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
