As someone who grew up captivated by the magical world of Muppets and their enchanting creations, I was initially taken aback by the rumors swirling around about the Jim Henson Company potentially selling its historic studio lot to the Church of Scientology. The thought of such an iconic place, steeped in creativity and innovation, being taken over by a controversial organization was unsettling.
Contrary to rumors, The Jim Henson Company has no plans to sell their iconic studio lot situated on La Brea Avenue in Hollywood to the Church of Scientology.
This week, rumors emerged stating that the Church of Scientology was close to buying the studio where the Muppets have resided for over two decades. Yet, a spokesperson from the Jim Henson Company clarified to EbMaster on Saturday that no such purchase agreement currently exists.
Concerning the recent speculation about the La Brea studio lot sale, it’s important to clarify that the Henson family has no business connections whatsoever with the Church of Scientology. Moreover, the Church of Scientology is not being considered as a potential buyer for the property. As for the Jim Henson Company, the family continues to plan its relocation to a new site suitable for both the company and the Creature Shop. However, they are currently not in the process of selling the property to any buyer.
The potential deal involving the Church of Scientology originates from a report by The InSneider. This publication announced on Thursday that the “sale proceedings are nearing completion” and that “the Church of Scientology stands as the likely purchaser.
The narrative unfolds with Insneider stating, “There’s no information about their space-related plans yet, so keep an eye out for future updates…
In 1999, The Jim Henson Company acquired a five-acre piece of land, previously owned by Seagram for $12.5 million. At that time, it was used as A&M Studios. Interestingly, this site had been recognized as a Historic-Cultural Monument back in 1969 by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission, having originally been known as the Charlie Chaplin Studios.
