Uh, in fact, uh, well, when Walt and Lillian bought the vacant lot where they built their Holmby Hills home, uh, back in June of '49, uh, this [laughs] was one of the deals that, that Walt had with Lilly.

Jim HillHOST
But Walt puts a live-action animated film out called So Dear to My Heart.
Jim HillHOST
And it doesn't do all that well at the box office, but Walt really likes this film, largely because it sort of celebrates what he remembers of his youth, you know, living out on the Disney family farm in Marceline, Missouri.

Diane GilmanHOST
For most of my childhood, the conversation in the house was about concentration camps, the fact that three quarters of the family was lost to those camps because my origins are Ukrainian.
Diane GilmanHOST
And we lived in Holmby Hills, which is adjacent to Beverly Hills.
Diane GilmanHOST
So it was a very Jewish kind of upscale upbringing.
Diane GilmanHOST
But at nine years old, we moved out to Whittier, middle of the desert, 60 miles down and 60 miles inland from LA and Beverly Hills.
ClaytonHOST
Mm.
EmilyHOST
And as part of this, they had a scale model of Walt's Carolwood Drive home in Holmby Hills, where he famously had his backyard railroad that people would ride around.
ClaytonHOST
Is that the one that they have at the Walt Disney Family Museum?
EmilyHOST
So they do- I inquired about this, 'cause I was wondering, well, why is this part of the Walt Disney Family Museum display? And they told me it used to be there, or they would bring it out for the holidays.
