The Hollywood Hills home where band leader Woody Herman was nearly evicted shortly before his death last October must be sold and half the proceeds given to Herman’s daughter, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ruled. Herman bought the home from Humphrey Bogart in 1946 for $50,000. He and his wife gave the house to their daughter, Ingrid Herman Reese, in 1982. But the Internal Revenue Service seized the house in 1985 to offset a $1.6-million tax debt accrued in the 1960s. The house was sold to William Little for $99,000, a third of its assessed value at the time.
