Jim Henson Company Lot On La Brea Not Being Sold To Scientology, Owners Say; “Not In Any Business Dealings With The Church,” Family Declares


The family of the Muppets kingpin say their famed lot on Le Brea is not being purchased by the David Miscavige Led Church

Also well known for Tom Cruise being a prominent member, the L. Ron Hubbard formed Church has numerous real estate holdings in Los Angeles as well as elsewhere around the country and the world. As well as almost half a dozen former hotels and other properties on Hollywood Blvd, and elsewhere in LA, the Church has the 1929-built Château Élysée on Franklin Ave, now known as their Celebrity Center, which they bought in 1973. For obvious reasons, those holdings in no small part gave oxygen to any rumors of the Church buying teh Henson lot.
