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."
