Meet the man who grew up in the house where the GoldenGirls made us laugh for well over a decade! 🏡
James, 65, is a beneficiary of the trust of the home, where he also grew up. His parents, David Noble Barry III and his wife, Margaret Carr Barry, built the house in 1955 and lived there until their deaths -- David died in 2017 and Margaret in 2019.
Only the exterior of the house was used for filming, while the interior was a sound stage that was modeled on the floor plan of the residence itself. While the house is now iconic, the family didn't make a lot of money off of it being featured on the sitcom."[My parents got a] small, one-time fee. I think they probably gave them an additional small fee when they rebuilt a facsimile of the house on the studio lot in Florida, because they did take the original architectural plans from the home and used those to build the full card that they used for filming.
He added,"You kind of feel that sense from the people that come to see the house. It resonates with them on this deeper level. ...I think that it just has transcended time and it speaks to the youth today too that come out and take their pictures and it means something to them."
