• Rudy and I were friends for the past 40 some years and his passing is a great blow in my life. I lived in the Cielo Drive house in 1971-72 whle Rudy was traveling with his then client, Romeo & Juliet star Olivia Hussey. Rudy and I had many long conversations over many dinners and missed and longed for the house on Cielo until the day he died. Rudy was a very proud and determined man, very generous and caring, very well mannered but stubborn as an ox when he wanted to be. If he liked you he loved you, if he disliked you he hated you. I was among the few fortunate people in his life that remained close to him until the end. RIP my friend. You are now looking down on this mess and saying “Thank God and Greyhound I’m Gone!”

  • I saw your post on Rudi Altobelli and thought I would contact you since you lived at 10050 Cielo Drive if you had any photos of the house you would share with me. I have been a Sharon Tate collector since 1972. I shot some Super 8 home movies of the house in 1976 and is posted on Youtube under Hollywood, Sharon Tate House. I have been in love with the house since I first laid eye’s on it in 1972. Sincerely, George

  • Congratulations on the honor of being a blood relative of Rudy Altobelli. He was a kind & generous man- always caring for others regardless of his own success & station in life. I knew Rudy since 1971 and he was a great friend. We had plans to celebrate his 82nd birthday when he passed. I will always miss his friendship. He was a special person.

• Rudy was a very kind gentlemen. Rudy and Stuart were my business managers. I had a clothing store from 1968 -1974. What an unique man he was. He loved all of his dogs so much. He had a heart of Gold.
  Woody, I remember you quite well.
  RIP Dear Rudy and Thank you for being my friend.
