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:
“Tell my son how anxious I am that he may read and learn his Book, that he may become the possessor of those things that a grateful country has bestowed upon his papa—Tell him that his happiness through life depends upon his procuring an education now; and with it, to imbibe proper moral habits that can entitle him to the possession of them.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
